• Sun Fruit by Ellis Brooklyn

Sun Fruit is a simple summer fragrance. Although it is not exactly as simple as a body spray, it is by no means complicated. The perfume starts off fruity, but after a few minutes, it fades away to be replaced by a very mild vanilla, fig, and amber scent. As opposed to many sweet perfumes, this one does not give people headaches. It smells like pleasant, light tropical fruit and is more reminiscent of a fun body spray than an expensive perfume. It also has lovely packaging and a wonderful aroma to add to the colorful mix.

• Sweet by Ellis Brooklyn

Sweet, aptly named, has a sweet powdery scent that reminds one of marshmallows and handmade candies. On the first try, Sweet is harshly syrupy, similar to Fantasy/Pink SugarThough extremely sweet, it is not syrupy. Sweet scents sometimes give people headaches, but this one is quite attractive and would make a comforting perfume for the winter. This perfume is sweet-smelling and doesn't really change over time. Without musk or iris to play in the drydown, it's more like a linear sour patch fragrance. The sour gummy candy note arrives afterwards. Just tangy enough to create a gummy texture without being overly sour.

• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Heliotrope, Violet and Orris
• Base notes: At the base, Cashmeran, White Amber and Marshmallow

• Sci Fi by Ellis Brooklyn

Sci Fi is a lovely citrus tea perfume with a sweet undertone. This has a special quality; perhaps it has to do with how it interacts with skin chemistry. Fresh citrus essences burst into a vanilla tea cuddle that complement a fragrance that is unique, energizing, and incredibly adaptable. The first notes that reach you are those of vanilla and sharp citrus, which are quickly followed by a quick undercurrent of fresh pine and green and a tiny wisp of honeyed sweetness from the freesia flower. The bitter, grassy green tea accent, which pairs well with the warm, creamy vanilla flavor and becomes mellower with the addition of lemon and orange, helps bring everything together. The warmer months would be when this smell would operate best. 

• Top notes: Opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Pink Freesia and Green Tea
• Base notes: At the base, Cashmere Wood and Vanilla Bean
• Perfume Gender: Unisex
• Scent Accord: Citrus Gourmand
• Longevity: 7 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

 

• Bee by Ellis Brooklyn

Bee smells so warm and delicious. The beginning is a little odd, and it does feel a little bit medicinal at first. But soon after, it becomes this wonderful, delectable, and authentic honey scent. In the first couple hours, the brand note is rather noticeable, but after that, there is a lot of vanilla and chocolate. The scent is sweet and golden, with a distinct beeswax note. The duration is quite good, unquestionably far superior to practically any other "clean" scent.

• Top notes: Opens with Davana and Rum
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Cinnamon, Bran and Honey
• Base notes: At the base, Sandalwood, Cacao and Vanilla
• Perfume Gender: Unisex
• Scent Accord: Amber Vanilla
• Longevity: 7 hours
• Sillage: Strong
• Projection: Wide

 

• Apres by Ellis Brooklyn

Apres has a café feel because it is toasty, warm, and cozy. It opens strongly with a balsamic incense note that isn't overbearing and heavy on the leather, then eventually softens into a warm, cozy hug. The focus of the drydown is cozy Myrrh, it smells warm and invitingly of woods. This perfume begins in that "classy hotel lobby" manner, but after a short while, it becomes more powdered and green. Additionally, it gets sweeter in a way that makes sense rather than in a gourmand or floral way. In the end, his fragrance  is incredibly nicely blended.

• Top notes: Opens with Saffron, Cardamom and Juniper Berries
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Praline, Violet, Labdanum, Suede, Guaiac Wood, and Bourbon Whiskey
• Base notes: At the base, Patchouli, Musk, Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Cedar
• Perfume Gender: Unisex
• Scent Accord: Woody Spicy
• Longevity: 7 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

 

• Myth by Ellis Brooklyn

This one is cunning and really mythical. Myth has a really lovely, fresh white musk smell. With the dominating aroma of musk and ambrette, and a smidge of lotus and white cedar extract, the scent of patchouli and the scent of the other notes is hardly noticeable. You would adore this smell if you enjoy You by Glossier.  The fragrance is really hazy and musky and soapy. It is airy, chic, and just utterly delightful in its simplicity.

• Top notes: Opens with Casis, Bergamot and Musk Mallow
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Orchid, Jasmine and Lotus
• Base notes: At the base, Patchouli, White Cedar Extract and Musk
• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Floral Woody Musk
• Longevity: 3 hours
• Sillage: Soft
• Projection: Light

 

• Salt by Ellis Brooklyn

Sal has a lovely, almost unisex, floral, musky aroma. This one would even appeal to someone who typically isn't a fan of musk. This summer perfume is pleasant, fresh, and aquatic. Also a little masculine, but still a very nice, distinctive perfume. It's really distinctive and expertly blended. It has a slightly tropical sense, thanks to the floral notes, without being overly tropical to the point where you can only wear it on a summer beach vacation. It is salty, animalic, and musky without seeming dirty. It is incredibly adaptable and may even be worn in the winter. Even if it doesn't smell exactly clean, it feels clean.

• Top notes: Opens with Violet Leaves and Ylang-Ylang
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Magnolia and Tiare Flower
• Base notes: At the base, Sandalwood, Musk and Ambergris
• Perfume Gender: Unisex 
• Scent Accord: Amber Floral
• Longevity: 4 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

 

• Rose by Ellis Brooklyn

This smells strangely of sour roses. The rose is entirely dominant and rather heavy, although it does get better as it dries down where the lemon adds to the acidic flavor. The combination is intriguing. Beginning with a fresh, pure, somewhat honeyed rose, it ends up unsoapy but clean. Citrus is here but not overtly so; it merely lends a faint hint of a fresh, bright freshness- much of the wear continues in this manner. The musk and cassis stand out more in the dry down, which is still rosey. But in all, this perfume is pleasant and energizing.

• Top notes: Opens with Pear, Cassis and Sicilian Lemon
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Lotus, Peony and Rose Petals
• Base notes: At the base, Vanilla Orchid, Cashmere Wood and Musk
• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Floral
• Longevity: 5 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

 

• Fable by Ellis Brooklyn

Fable opens with a rush of orange citrus, but there is nothing juicy about it —just green orange leaves. The blend of black currant, neroli, and petitgrain gives the fragrance a forward-projecting air. As it dances on the fizzy citrus and is supported by the violet, the lovely honeysuckle is the star. Amber, cedar, and the floral notes create reassuring and pleasant fresh laundry smells during the dry-down. The clean, fresh aroma would feel more at home spritzed on a pillow or perhaps a starched white shirt rather than on a person's skin. It's a lovely day to be out there.

• Top notes: Opens with Black Currant and Neroli
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Violet, Petitgrain and Honeysuckle
• Base notes: At the base, Cedar and Amber
• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Floral Woody Musk
• Longevity: 4 hours
• Sillage: Light
• Projection: Light

 

• Fawn by Ellis Brooklyn 

Fawn is a lovely flowery blend, but because it's so potent, sweet, and the florals are so close to being screechy with a big rose note, it could give you a headache. The aromas of coconut milk, amber, vanilla, and musk are overpowered by the flowery takeover. The perfume still, is a very delicate and lovely flower and coconut gourmet fragrance. It has a low sillage but lingers for a very long time on skin.

• Top notes: Opens with Sicilian Bergamot, Magnolia and Neroli
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Damask Rose, Lily-of-the-Valley and Coconut Milk
• Base notes: At the base, Vanilla, Amber and Musk
• Perfume Gender: Unisex
• Scent Accord: Citrus
• Longevity: 6 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

Top 25 Perfume Facts You Should Know

1. What Are Top, Middle, And Base Notes In Perfume?
Perfume is built on three levels: top, middle, and base notes. Top notes are the first scents you perceive, usually light and fresh. Middle notes emerge as the fragrance develops and form its character. Base notes are long-lasting, giving depth and staying power. Together, they create a balanced and evolving scent.

2. How Does Perfume Concentration Affect Its Longevity?
Perfume concentration determines how strong and long-lasting a scent will be. Parfum has the highest concentration of fragrance oils (20–30%) and lasts the longest. Eau de parfum (15–20%) is slightly lighter, while eau de toilette (5–15%) and cologne (2–5%) are less intense and fade faster. Concentration also influences price.

3. What’s The Difference Between Natural And Synthetic Ingredients In Perfumes?
Natural ingredients come from plants, flowers, fruits, or animals, while synthetic compounds are lab-created. Synthetics replicate rare or expensive natural aromas and improve stability. Many modern perfumes combine both types, allowing creativity, ethical sourcing, and consistent quality. Synthetic ingredients can also make fragrances cruelty-free and less allergenic.

4. Can Fragrances Trigger Memories Or Emotions?
Yes, scents are closely linked to the brain’s limbic system, which processes emotion and memory. A fragrance can evoke nostalgia, comfort, or excitement. Many people associate perfumes with specific events, people, or moods, making fragrance a powerful tool for emotional expression and memory recall.

5. How Does Skin Chemistry Affect How A Perfume Smells?
Perfume interacts with individual body chemistry, altering how it smells on the skin. Factors like skin type, pH, diet, and hormones influence scent development. The same perfume may smell different on two people, which is why testing on your own skin before buying is crucial for an accurate representation.

6. What Are Fragrance Families, And Why Do They Matter?
Perfume families classify fragrances by dominant characteristics. Common families include floral, oriental, woody, and fresh/citrus. Knowing the family helps guide selection and predict how a fragrance will evolve. It also aids in understanding personal preferences, seasonal suitability, and how scents complement one’s style and personality.

7. Why Should Perfume Be Applied To Pulse Points?
Pulse points like the wrists, neck, and behind the ears emit heat, which enhances fragrance projection. Applying perfume to these areas allows the scent to diffuse naturally throughout the day. This method maximizes longevity and ensures the perfume develops as intended, revealing top, middle, and base notes over time.

8. Do Perfumes Expire, And How Can You Tell?
Yes, perfumes can expire, usually after 3–5 years. Signs include darkened color, separation of ingredients, or altered scent. Storage in a cool, dark place with the bottle tightly sealed helps preserve fragrance. Using expired perfume may result in a degraded or unpleasant aroma.

9. What Role Does Alcohol Play In Perfumes?
Alcohol acts as a solvent that dissolves fragrance oils and helps disperse them evenly. It also contributes to the initial burst of scent when applied. Higher alcohol content can enhance evaporation and projection, but it can also dry the skin. Alcohol ensures perfumes remain stable and long-lasting in the bottle.

10. How Does Temperature Affect Perfume Strength And Scent?
Temperature impacts perfume evaporation and perception. Warm temperatures intensify fragrance, often making light scents stronger, while cold can suppress projection. Extreme heat or sunlight can degrade ingredients, altering the scent. Understanding environmental effects helps choose perfumes suited for seasonal and climate conditions.

11. What Is Fragrance Layering, And How Can It Create Unique Scents?
Layering combines multiple fragrances or scented products to create a personalized scent. For example, mixing a floral perfume with a musky body lotion can produce a unique aroma. Layering enhances complexity, increases longevity, and allows creative expression, letting you craft a fragrance that matches your mood or style.

12. Do Perfume Names Always Reflect Their Ingredients?
Perfume names are often creative or thematic rather than literal. While some names hint at main notes (like “Vanilla Musk”), many are chosen for branding, emotion, or lifestyle appeal. The name may evoke a mood or concept rather than listing actual ingredients, so it’s not always an accurate guide.

13. How Do Perfume Bottles Influence Fragrance Preservation?
Perfume bottles protect the scent from light, air, and temperature changes. Dark glass, airtight caps, and minimal exposure to oxygen help maintain fragrance integrity. Decorative bottles may look luxurious but sometimes compromise preservation. The right container can extend perfume life and prevent scent degradation.

14. What’s The Difference Between Eau De Parfum And Eau De Toilette?
Eau de parfum (EDP) contains more concentrated fragrance oils (typically 15–20%) and lasts longer, whereas eau de toilette (EDT) has less concentration (5–15%), producing a lighter, shorter-lived scent. EDP is often richer and more suitable for evening wear, while EDT is ideal for daytime or casual use.

15. How Can Perfume Notes Be Enhanced For Longevity?
Longevity can be enhanced by applying perfume to moisturized skin, using complementary body lotions, and focusing on pulse points. Layering with hair products or unscented oils can help retain scent. Proper storage away from heat and light also prevents degradation, keeping the notes fresh and vibrant for longer.

16. Why Do Some Fragrances Smell Different In The Air Than On Skin?
Perfumes interact with air and individual body chemistry differently. Evaporation, temperature, and skin pH can alter perception. Some scents may appear lighter or heavier off the skin than on it. Test strips give an initial impression, but the true scent emerges only when worn.

17. How Were Perfumes Originally Used Before Alcohol-Based Sprays?
Ancient perfumes were oils, balms, or incense burned during rituals. Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Romans used them for ceremonies, personal hygiene, and spiritual purposes. Alcohol-based sprays emerged in the 19th century, allowing perfumes to be applied easily and evenly while preserving scent integrity.

18. Can Perfume Influence Mood Or Mental Well-Being?
Yes, scents can impact emotions, reduce stress, or improve alertness. Lavender may promote relaxation, citrus energizes, and vanilla can evoke comfort. Perfumes can serve as a form of aromatherapy, influencing confidence and emotional state, making fragrance a subtle but powerful tool for mental well-being.

19. How Should Perfumes Be Stored To Extend Their Life?
Perfumes should be stored in cool, dark areas away from sunlight and heat. Bottles should remain tightly sealed and upright to prevent evaporation or oxidation. Proper storage maintains fragrance integrity, color, and balance of notes, ensuring the perfume smells as intended for years.

20. What Are “Accords” In Perfumery, And Why Are They Important?
Accords are harmonious blends of two or more fragrance notes that create a distinct scent. They form the backbone of perfumes, ensuring that top, middle, and base notes interact cohesively. A well-crafted accord gives the perfume balance, uniqueness, and emotional impact.

21. Does Gendered Marketing Limit Which Scents You Can Wear?
Perfume marketing often labels scents as masculine or feminine, but fragrance is ultimately personal. Anyone can wear any scent they enjoy. Gendered marketing may influence perception but does not dictate choice. Breaking norms allows creative expression and discovering perfumes that resonate individually.

22. Can Perfume Ingredients Be Controversial Or Cause Allergies?
Yes, some ingredients like musks, citrus oils, or preservatives can trigger allergic reactions. Certain animal-derived compounds are controversial ethically. Checking ingredient lists and choosing hypoallergenic or cruelty-free options is important for sensitive individuals or those conscious of environmental and ethical concerns.

23. How Can Perfumes Be Layered With Hair Products For Longevity?
Hair holds fragrance longer than skin because it retains oils. Using scented hair products or lightly misting perfume onto hair extends scent life. Avoid alcohol-heavy sprays directly on hair to prevent dryness. Layering ensures a continuous, subtle fragrance trail throughout the day.

24. What Is Olfactory Fatigue, And Why Does It Happen?
Olfactory fatigue occurs when your nose becomes desensitized to a scent after prolonged exposure. You may stop noticing your perfume even though others can smell it. This is normal and temporary. Stepping away from the scent or switching fragrances can refresh your perception.

25. How Can Perfume Become Part Of Someone’s Signature Identity?
A signature perfume is consistently worn and becomes associated with an individual’s personality and style. It leaves a memorable impression and complements self-expression. Choosing a fragrance that resonates emotionally, smells unique on your skin, and aligns with your lifestyle helps make perfume an integral part of your identity.
