Raven
Raven by Ellis Brooklyn is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with lemon, blackcurrant and pear, moves into lotus, peony and rose de mai and dries down to cashmere wood, musk and vanilla. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Lotus Pale, watery flower. Delicate and slightly powdery.
- Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
- Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
Dry-down
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
