The Manhattanites who for years turned their noses up at Brooklyn will now have to pay as much as $220 just to take a sniff.
“Brooklyn,” a fragrance by Bond No. 9, will hit stores in March – fortunately, containing no hints of the BQE or the Gowanus Canal.
“We wanted something that captures the young vibe of Brooklyn, and we took a lot of risks,” said Laurice Rahme, founder of Bond No. 9.
The genteel fragrance contains grapefruit, cardamom, cypress, cedar and leather, while the graffiti-inspired bottle retains the borough’s grit and edge.
Like a Park Slope brownstone, “Brooklyn” isn’t cheap. The 100-milliliter bottle will sell for $220, and a bottle half that size will be available for $145 .
