Ellis Brooklyn is an independent fragrance house founded by perfumer Bee Shapiro, known for creating accessible, character-driven scents that balance quality with approachability. The brand has built a reputation for thoughtful compositions that avoid heavy-handed marketing in favor of genuine olfactory storytelling.

Apple Love opens with bright, juicy top notes of red apple, peach, and green mandarin that establish an immediate fruity sweetness. The heart deepens this profile with sugar cane and plum blossom, joined by osmanthus and lily of the valley for a softer floral undertone. The base settles into Madagascar vanilla and creamy musk, anchored by ambroxan and sandalwood for warmth and skin-like projection. The overall composition reads as gourmand-leaning florals, striking a balance between edible sweetness and traditional feminine florality without tipping into cloying territory.

This works best for those who enjoy sweet, fruit-forward fragrances with substance. It suits casual daytime wear and performs well in warmer months when the fruity opening feels refreshing rather than heavy. The vanilla-musk base gives it enough staying power for all-day wear. Apple Love aligns with The Romantic, The Heirloom, and The Hedonist sensibilities.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified

Red Apple
Red Apple
Peach
Peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.
Green Mandarin
Green Mandarin
Unripe mandarin has a sharper, greener, more tart quality than its ripe counterpart. Green mandarin is more angular and bitter than sweet mandarin, with a clean, slightly medicinal citrus sharpness. Used when a fresher, more austere citrus note is needed rather than the warm sweetness of fully ripe fruit.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Sugar Cane
Sugar Cane
Green, slightly earthy, and faintly sweet, freshly cut sugar cane has a more complex character than refined sugar, with a vegetal, slightly rum-like quality. Sugar cane in perfumery adds a tropical, natural sweetness with a slightly green freshness. Evoking Caribbean fields and rum distilleries, it bridges green and gourmand families.
Plum Blossom
Plum Blossom
The flowers of the Japanese and Chinese plum tree bloom in late winter, symbolizing resilience and hope. Plum blossom in perfumery has a subtle, slightly sweet and honeyed character with a clean, cold-air freshness. Less assertive than rose or jasmine, it adds a quiet, contemplative beauty to East Asian-inspired compositions.
Osmanthus
Osmanthus
Apricot-like, leathery, and floral all at once, osmanthus is one of the most beloved flowers in Chinese culture and one of the most interesting in Western perfumery. Its dried-fruit, suede-like quality makes it feel simultaneously sweet and sophisticated. A note that elevates almost everything it touches.
Lily of the Valley
Lily of the Valley
Crisp, green, and dewy, this spring flower smells like rain on cool grass with a clean, soap-like clarity. It's one of perfumery's most requested scents despite being nearly impossible to extract naturally, so it's almost always recreated synthetically. The result is fresh, tender, and timelessly elegant.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Madagascar Vanilla
Madagascar Vanilla
The world's dominant commercial vanilla variety, grown primarily in Madagascar, with a classic, balanced vanilla character: warm, sweet, and creamy with a woody undertone. Madagascar vanilla is the reference-point vanilla in perfumery, widely used for its excellent quality and reliable character. The benchmark against which other vanillas are measured.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Ambroxan
Ambroxan
The molecule responsible for the warm, skin-amplifying quality of many modern fragrances, ambroxan (Ambrox) is a synthetic compound derived from ambergris that creates an almost invisible warmth. It doesn't smell strongly on its own but makes everything around it feel richer, closer, and more like skin. The secret weapon of countless contemporary bestsellers.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
