“Greenwich Village is one of my favorites, so I tried the Grandeur Avenue London dupe. Out of the bottle it doesn't smell great, and it's less refined and less sweet than the real thing. Once it dries down on skin, that's when you can smell the Bond No. 9 in it. Nothing off-putting, just not as polished.”
