B.Green
Brooksfield (2001)

I purchased this perfume at the recommendation of my good friend and fellow Basenoter, Odysseusm and I'm so glad I did!

b. Green by Brooksfield is a consumate "green" fragrance, hitting all of the bases in it's stride. The opening is fresh, clean, and sparkling with citrus from limes and lemons, or so it smells. There are also green notes from a slight pine and ivy which add so much with the citrus and it does sparkle on my skin. Cardamom smooths any potential rough edges and I do smell a hint of geranium, cedar and tobacco, but only a hint. This fragrance is special if you are a lover of green scents. So glad I was able to track down a bottle! I will be wearing this for years to come and joyfully at that! Two thumbs way, way up!

odysseusm'S REVIEW (BELOW) IS A PERFECT REVIEW FOR THIS THUMBS WAY UP COLOGNE. AS THE REVIEW ALSO NOTES...IT IS NOT AN EASY COLOGNE TO FINE. IT SEEMS ALL OF BROOKSFELD COLOGNES ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND...EVEN IN ITALY WHERE THEY ARE PRODUCED. BUT IF YOU CAN FIND IT...TRY IT.

I'm happy to be the first to review b. green by Brooksfield. It is a very classy, refreshing scent; quite successful and enjoyable. It has a nice opening which is crisp, fresh and green. Lots of lemon-lime citrus here. Mild woody spices (cardamom and nutmeg) and little hints of pine freshness keep things perky and interesting. There is a good clean middle of light florals and cedar wood. The base has rich elements but is not heavy. The amber and musk are well-modulated and do not develop a powdery aspect. The leather and tobacco are restrained accents. The final dry-down is also good. It gets a bit bigger as the musk and fig leaves have their last statement, but the impression still is light and breezy. I like this and will wear it often. It is not easy to find, but it is worth the effort. The bottle design is interesting in that there is a green “straw” that surrounds the atomizer siphon which has the words: Piacere/Fun, Liberta/Freedom, Benessere/Balance. A good motto!
