Ellis Brooklyn is a niche fragrance brand founded by perfumer Gabriela Neelected, known for creating bold, distinctive scents that prioritize clean minimalism without sacrificing personality.

Super Amber opens with a soft floral bouquet of bergamot, peony, and muguet that quickly gives way to the fragrance's true character. The heart is built around a rich amber accord layered with creamy heliotrope, tolu balsam, and vanilla, creating a warm, almost gourmand sweetness. The base anchors everything with deep woody notes from cedarwood and sandalwood, complemented by a distinctive musk and additional amber that adds an animalic, skin-scent quality. The overall DNA blends powdery softness with woody depth, making it a fragrance that feels both comforting and slightly mysterious.

Super Amber works best for those drawn to cozy, intimate scents rather than crowd-pleasing florals. It's equally suited to colder months when amber-based fragrances feel most natural, though the clean florals in the opening make it wearable year-round. The unisex positioning makes it accessible regardless of gender preference. If you gravitate toward The Homesteader, The Romantic, or The Mystic, this is worth exploring.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
angelica
angelica
Complex, musky, and slightly earthy, angelica root has a unique profile that sits between herbs, earth, and musk. It was historically used as a fixative and still adds a deep, rooty quality that grounds and extends other notes. Angelica seed is slightly citrusy; the root is darker and more complex. A note beloved by niche perfumers.
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.
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.
muguet
muguet
The French name for lily of the valley, and in perfumery 'muguet' often refers to a specific synthetic accord that captures the note's dewy, green-floral character. It's associated with the 1st of May (the French tradition of gifting lily of the valley) and has a clean, optimistic freshness that never goes out of fashion.
peony
peony
Light, watery, and fresh with a clean floral sweetness that never feels heavy. Peony reads as modern and optimistic, the scent equivalent of a spring wardrobe refresh. It blends seamlessly with other florals and is a common building block in sheer, easy-to-wear feminine fragrances.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
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.
heliotrope
heliotrope
Powdery, sweet, and slightly almond-like, heliotrope is the quintessential 'retro' note of Victorian-era perfumery, now experiencing a fashionable revival. It smells of sugar, vanilla, and just enough floral to keep it interesting. In modern fragrances it tends to read as nostalgic, soft, and unapologetically pretty.
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.
tolu balsam
tolu balsam
A warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin from a South American tree with a cinnamon-adjacent character and a slightly smoky depth. Tolu balsam has been used in perfumery for centuries as a fixative, adding a rich, balsamic warmth that blends naturally with orientals and florals. It is closely related to Peru balsam and benzoin in its warm, sweet character.
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.

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.
cedarwood
cedarwood
Clean, dry, and pencil-shaving familiar, cedar brings structure without heaviness. Depending on the variety (Atlas, Virginia, Texas), it can range from slightly sweet and waxy to sharply aromatic. It's a workhorse base note that gives woody fragrances their spine, and it's universally flattering on skin.
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.
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.'
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.
