The review
Guava Cream Splash scores 7.3 out of 10 on paper — strong contender 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Brooklyn — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
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.
Top
- cardamom

Cardamom and cypress over suede, the bridge-and-borough answer to Wall Street.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
