EDP · unisex

Ellis Brooklyn is a contemporary fragrance house known for clean, wearable compositions that prioritize quality ingredients and accessible luxury positioning.

Après opens with juniper berries, cardamom, and saffron, creating a warm spicy aromatic introduction with powdery edges. The heart pivots toward gourmand territory, anchored by bourbon whiskey and guaiac wood, with supporting notes of suede, labdanum, praline, and violet adding depth and a subtle sweetness. The base settles into a creamy woody-vanilla profile via cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli, and musk, creating a warm, enveloping finish that stays close to skin.

The overall DNA blends floral sensibilities with gourmand comfort and woody structure, making it work equally well on masculine and feminine presentations. This is best suited for cooler seasons or evening wear, particularly for someone seeking something sweeter than a typical woody fragrance but more grounded than straight gourmand. It bridges The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Homesteader sensibilities effectively.

Juniper Berries
Juniper Berries
Dry, piney, and slightly citrusy, juniper is the botanical soul of gin, with a resinous, slightly spicy freshness that is entirely its own. In perfumery it adds a crisp, outdoorsy quality that bridges woody and spicy families. Used in masculine fragrances to evoke cold mountain air, stone trails, and bracing northern landscapes.
Cardamom
Cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
Saffron
Saffron
The most expensive spice in the world has a leathery, honeyed, slightly metallic quality that is immediately recognizable. In perfumery, saffron adds a dark, animalic richness, it's the note that gives oud-rose fragrances their distinctive regal depth. A little goes a long way; too much reads as medicinal.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon Whiskey
Guaiac Wood
Guaiac Wood
Smoky, slightly rosy, and dry, guaiac wood has a gentle, transparent smokiness that doesn't overwhelm. It's often used to add a campfire-distant quality to woody or oriental fragrances without going full leather or incense. One of perfumery's more understated and quietly beautiful materials.
Suede
Suede
Soft, slightly powdery, and skin-warm, suede accord in perfumery captures the scent of fine-grained leather without the raw animal quality of heavy leather notes. It's simultaneously woody and musky, creating a second-skin warmth that feels intimate and tactile. The note that makes certain fragrances feel like cashmere.
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
Praline
Praline
Sweet, nutty, and slightly smoky, praline combines the roasted quality of nuts with caramelized sugar for a rich, complex sweetness. It's more sophisticated than straight caramel, with depth and slight bitterness that keeps it interesting. A signature note of many modern oriental gourmand fragrances.
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Cedar
Cedar
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.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
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.'
