What Is Parfums Vintage Exaltant Le Musc Intense a Dupe Of?

Parfums Vintage Exaltant Le Musc Intense is a clone of Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street, with more emphasis on blueberry in the brand's interpretation. Despite Musc being in the name, the green and fruity parts are just as useful for understanding what this fragrance is aiming for.

The note connection

The listed opening combines black currant, violet leaf and thyme. Blueberry, jasmine, cedar and cinnamon follow, while black currant, suede, oakmoss, leather, vanilla, patchouli and amber fill out the base. That mix gives you fruit alongside herbs, green notes and a substantial woody background.

Bleecker Street's saved profile also lists violet leaf, blueberry, cassis and thyme, with cedar and cinnamon underneath. The two lists don't place every shared note in the same tier. We'd use the overlap to understand the style, rather than expect an identical sequence of smells from first spray to dry-down.

How we'd choose

We'd try Exaltant Le Musc Intense if the blueberry detail is a big part of Bleecker Street's appeal for you. If you prefer its greener side, compare the fruit against the violet leaf and moss while wearing a sample. More emphasis on one note can be appealing without being everyone's preferred balance.

The useful question is whether the berries and woods work together for you after the opening. We'd avoid deciding from a brief spray on paper, especially if sweetness can become tiring over a full wear. The suede, patchouli and oakmoss are worth keeping in mind when imagining how you'd use the bottle.

Check the edition

This is Exaltant Le Musc Intense, rather than the regular Exaltant Le Musc. The reference is Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street Eau de Parfum, which appears in the catalog as Bleecker St EDP. The shortened catalog name refers to the same original.
