Brooks Brothers for Men (1998)
by Brooks Brothers

Notes include bergamot, petitgrain oil, tangerine, carnation, , cumin, oak moss, vetiver, and musk. The following terms were not translated by Google so I leave them to Estonian BNoters willing to contribute: raudürt, võhumõõgajuur.

At first smell there are notes common to classic "white shirt" scents launched during the 1990's like Safari, XS, Tiffany and Chanel pour Monsieur Concentree, thus BB is not that different and / or original. Besides, the blend lacks the subtlety and the finesse of Tiffany and Chanel, wich does not reduce at all its quality and character, which is, to some point, improved by its longevity and sillage. As well as the ones mentioned, BB is a formal scent that is sold at a very convenient price, thus it would make a perfect replacement for those unwillig to spend prices carried by the ones mentioned.

The essence of affordable leather shoes, generic wooden shoe trees, cheap carpeting and musk are hastily merged to form a scent that instantly transports one's nose to the local haberdashery.

This is my husband's go-to fragrance. Not my #1 favorite of those in his collection, but it is, as others have noted, very old-school, clean but umabiguously masculine. I agree with Toughcool that the dry-down is the best part. This is most definitely the olfactory equivalent of pinstripes. Not daring, but tastefully done.

I don't wear this anymore but this used to be a staple in my fall/winter set. It has a great classic scent that draws you in and has great sillage on me. The drydown on your clothing will draw women in. Great stuff for the price. the only way I can explain it is that this cologne reminds me of a Brooks Brothers type store with class and sophistication.

This immediately became my favorite fragrance. It is classy, masculine, not overpowering, not confusing, and it is quite refreshing. It is also the favorite among the women in my life.

I tried this while vacationing in Miami. We walked into the Brooks Brothers store, browsed around and tested it out. I immediately appreciated the classic scent, very old school but not stuffy. My girlfriend also liked it alot and teased that she would be jealous of the girls chasing me all over the place if I wore this. So naturally, I bought it.
