Brooks Brothers
Two centuries of American style.
Brooks Brothers was founded in New York in 1818 by Henry Sands Brooks and stands as the oldest clothier in America, defining East Coast preppy sensibility for two centuries. The fragrance line, developed under the Catalyst Brands umbrella after the 2020 bankruptcy and acquisition, translates that heritage into approachable masculine and unisex compositions. Perfumers including Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Ilias Ermenidis, Marypierre Julien, and Vincent Schaller have contributed releases that evoke classic American masculinity — crisp linens, cedar closets, leather, and clean shaves — without veering into dated territory. The fragrances sit in the accessible tier, consistent with the brand's democratising mission: quality that is attainable, not exclusive. For collectors interested in American heritage fragrance, Brooks Brothers represents a continuous thread from Ivy League tradition to contemporary wardrobing.

DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
