Sun Fruit
Sun Fruit by Ellis Brooklyn is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2019 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, fig and pear, moves into jasmine, cyclamen, iris and orange blossom and dries down to amber, vanilla, musk and coconut. 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.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Cyclamen Watery, green and airy. Used to make florals feel light.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
