New York Oud vs Back to Black

New York Oud by Bond No. 9 appears to be a solid, wearable fragrance that collectors include in their rotation, though it doesn't generate particularly strong enthusiasm or criticism. The limited community discussion suggests it's a reliable but not exceptional choice within the oud fragrance category.

The r/fragrance community views Back to Black as a well-executed honey fragrance that successfully balances richness with wearability. While praised for its gorgeous honey note and lighter wear compared to alternatives like Guerlain Tobacco Honey, some users find the opening polarizing or need time to form an opinion on it.
