The review

Borough scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Brooklyn.

Perfume Parlour 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.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Bond No. 9 Brooklyn is cardamom, bergamot and grapefruit at first, cypress, leather and nutmeg at its heart and cedar, amber and musk at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
