Bond No. 9 Brooklyn is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Laurice Rahmé. Brooklyn opens with Grapefruit and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Gin, Cypress, Geranium, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, and Guaiac Wood. Bond No. 9's Brooklyn carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Gorgeous, fresh, and sophisticated on paper, but the performance is shocking for most. If you're lucky enough to have it last, you'll love it, but for many, it's a fleeting whisper that vanishes quicker than a free bar tab.

Its fresh, aromatic character makes it highly suitable for everyday wear, including the office and casual outings, as it won't offend. However, its often-mentioned poor longevity and projection mean it might struggle to make an impact in formal settings or on a lively date, despite its sophisticated scent profile, reserving it for more intimate encounters instead.

About

Brooklyn opens with a bright, zesty grapefruit and a kick of warm spicy cardamom, quickly leading into a boozy gin and juniper heart. The aromatic freshness is undeniable, balanced by crisp cypress and a touch of geranium. As it settles, a clean, subtle leather merges with dry cedar and guaiac wood, creating a refined, woody-aromatic dry down that is often praised for its fresh, almost cocktail-like quality.
