From your scent profile
Brooks Brothers New York Gentlemen is a fresh, green men's fragrance that opens with bergamot and spices, then moves through vervain and grass into a woody base.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though only a small number of voters weighed in. Voters place it equally in daytime, leisure and business wear, with evening and night out a little further behind. It reads as a masculine scent.
The top notes are spices and bergamot, giving a citrusy opening with a light spicy edge. Toward the heart, vervain and grass bring out a green, floral side. The base of woods adds an earthy, woody floor. Brut Eau de Brut and Hermès Voyage d'Hermès have a close profile.
