What does Brooklyn smell like?

It opens with cardamom and grapefruit, a spicy freshness. In the heart, juniper berry, geranium leaf and cypress wood add a green, dry feel. Cedarwood, gaiac wood and leather dominate the base, and the scent settles into a woody, leathery line.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. Most voters read it as masculine. Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa and Molton Brown Re-Charge Black Pepper share a close profile.
