Ellis Brooklyn is an indie fragrance house founded by Bee Shapiro, known for clean, modern compositions that prioritize wearability and quality ingredients. The brand has built a reputation for understated elegance and a distinctly New York sensibility.

Sun opens with a juicy combination of pear and bergamot, brightened by fig and plum tree that gives the citrus a slightly tart, fruity character. The heart develops into a delicate white floral blend of jasmine and orange blossom, tempered by cyclamen and iris for a softer, more refined expression. The base settles into a creamy, skin-scent warmth with coconut, vanilla orchid, and musk, creating a gentle sweetness that grounds the composition without becoming gourmand.

Sun works well for anyone seeking a fresh fragrance with genuine depth rather than a one-dimensional citrus spray. It's equally suited to warmer weather wear and everyday indoor use, maintaining a gentle presence rather than demanding attention. The balance between fruity brightness and creamy softness makes it versatile across seasons and occasions. Fans of The Heirloom, The Romantic, and The Tactician will appreciate Sun's approach to blending brightness with understated sophistication.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Pear
Pear
Gentle, watery, and slightly floral, pear is one of fragrance's most delicate fruit notes, with a clean sweetness that is closer to flowers than to heavy tropical fruits. It adds a soft, luminous freshness to compositions and pairs naturally with rose, iris, and light musks. Often the note that makes a fragrance feel effortlessly elegant.
Fig
Fig
Green, creamy, and milky with a slightly earthy underpinning, fig is a fruit note that doubles as a green and woody note depending on whether you emphasize the fruit or the leaf and wood. The milky quality of fig sap gives it an unusual creaminess that pairs beautifully with musks and light woods.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Plum Tree
Plum Tree
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Cyclamen
Cyclamen
Crisp, watery, and slightly green with a delicate floral sweetness, cyclamen is one of perfumery's more transparent flowers. It evokes mountain air and rain-wet gardens rather than a florist's shop. Used to add a clean, airy quality to floral compositions that might otherwise feel dense.
Iris
Iris
One of perfumery's most prized and expensive ingredients, iris has a powdery, cool, almost carrot-like richness that is hard to describe and impossible to mistake. It's simultaneously earthy and refined, like the inside of an old Parisian couture house. Iris root (orris) adds quiet luxury to anything it touches.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Coconut
Coconut
Creamy, tropical, and slightly sunscreen-like, coconut reads as summery and carefree. In light doses it adds a beachy sweetness; in heavier use it can veer into suntan lotion territory. Most effective when paired with citrus or florals to lift it from the beach bar and into the realm of wearable tropical fragrance.
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.'
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
