The fragrance community considers Bleecker Street a disappointing purchase, primarily due to its weak sillage and poor performance for the price. Multiple users report difficulty smelling the fragrance on themselves and others, with only skin-scent level detection. The consensus is that this Bond No. 9 offering underperforms expectations for its cost.

Layton is a well-crafted, versatile fragrance with strong performance that genuinely appeals to many in the community, but it remains highly divisive due to its premium $285 price tag that many feel is unjustified compared to cheaper alternatives like Spicebomb Extreme. The scent requires sampling before purchase as it's a polarizing fragrance that either wins people over gradually or disappoints them entirely.
