Vanilla Man
Vanilla Man by Ellis Brooklyn is an unisex eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, mandarin and juniper berry, moves into clary sage, lavender and elemi and dries down to vanilla, cedarwood and frankincense. 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.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
