Strong contender

The review

Strong contender. That is where Brooklyn lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Brooklyn.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Brooklyn's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 95% less than Brooklyn.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
