Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Brooklyn EDP
This citrus and amber fragrance gets a very mixed bag of reviews. Some love its unique, uplifting lemon candy and powdery warmth, while others find it annoyingly synthetic or boring. Definitely one to sample before you buy, it's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Jardin d'Ombre (Fortnum & Mason Exclusive) EDP
A truly adaptable, upscale amber that's comforting without being bland. It's a gorgeous all-rounder from Ormonde Jayne with a touch of the exotic, but doesn't quite hit the distinctive heights of some of their other masterpieces.

Season and Occasion Fit

Brooklyn

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean profile make it suitable for office wear and casual outings, though some find it light, needing extra sprays. The citrus and soft amber combination isn't quite right for formal events or a standout date night, but the underlying freshness could work for daytime sport.
