Florist
Florist by Ellis Brooklyn is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon, lily of the valley and pear, moves into tuberose, gardenia, sambac jasmine and honeysuckle and dries down to cedarwood, sandalwood and ambroxan. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Honeysuckle Sweet, nectar-like and slightly green. Summer hedgerow.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
