“I love this. It’s fresh, fruity, aquatic and floral. It’s pretty and airy with a musky sweetness and a dark green quality. The projection and longevity are strong, sillage is delicate. People compare this to BR540 and Burberry Her, I don’t think they smell similar really at all, but the way the sillage carries is similar. That airy ambroxan with a fluffy sweetness that disappears and reappears all day long.Gives me strong 90s vibes. Cher from Clueless wears this for sure.”
“I’m so confused… I smelled this at Saks last year and could not get this smell out of my mind, I even had a smelling card and kept bringing it up to my nose for months until I finally ordered last month. There’s no projection, no scent trail and it is not lasting. It almost smells like water(I guess that’s the water lilly) but the cassis , litchi , jasmine & vanilla stood out way more at the store. I get the Bacarrat Rouge 540 similarities but Greenwich Village has its’ own thing going, it’s more light, more fresh.”
“I've gotten many compliments on this fragrance. The first time I smelled it I immediately fell in love and bought it. I wear it to work in the daytime often (office setting) in the spring/summer. It lasts very well. Very sweet. I don't think it smells like Baccarat Rouge 540 at all (I think Bond No 9 Tribeca smells more like that).”
