Reviews of Ellis Brooklyn Myth
Fragrantica - I grew up in a Caribbean island, and this reminds me of nights in the front porch, hanging out while the adults told stories I definitely wasn't supposed to hear. There was jasmine growing in my grandma's garden and orange groves nearby. This smell is a direct trip to my childhood. The work fragrance that my students keep on stealing from my desk.
Fragrantica - I love this fragrance so much! I’ve had so many compliments on it over the years. Definitely a classic can wear everyday wear. It’s a musky clean scent that lasts moderately throughout the day.
Fragrantica - Perfect powdery clean girl scent. Love wearing it to work. Makes me feel fresh and comfy all day! Will be purchasing a full bottle for sure.
Fragrantica - Despise patchouli. Hate bergamot. And yet out of all of the perfumes I have tried, this one is the perfume that has made me react the MOST insanely. Oh my god. My mother took a whiff of it too and we both agreed that it’s one of the best ones in my collection. I’m gonna wait until I run low on the sample to really be sure I love it, but I am so excited to hopefully get a bigger bottle soon!!!
Fragrantica - It’s a clean, floral musk with a soft, baby wipe type of dry down. I love scents like JHAG Not a Perfume and Byredo Bal d'Afrique, so if you do too, I think you’d like this.
Fragrantica - I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. It’s a beautiful floral musk and such an easy grab for everyday wear when you just want to feel fresh and clean. This wears as a close skin scent, subtle and understated. It’s not trying to do too much, which is exactly what I appreciate about it. Perfect for work, the gym, or any setting where you want something soft and effortless.
Fragrantica - This definitely has aromatic qualities but i have to disagree that this smells overtly masculine but could be unisex. Its a delicate , calm, sweet, and soft musky clean scent but it still has some headiness. It reminds me of Guerlain homme if it was made for women. Less patchouli and warmth, lighter ,soapier, and more watery florals. it has that clean relaxing resort like vacation smell, like a shower with hotel soap to go to dinner after laying by the pool all day. The watery flowers and aromatic patchouli, cassis, and ambrette remind me of a fancy resort lobby in a way that i acc find v enjoyable. This scent feels effortless, embracing, and simple. Makes me feel clean, calm, and renewed.
Fragrantica - i bought this like 6 months after smelling the sample bc i couldnt stop thinking about it and AHHHH ITS SO GOOD ITS THE PERFECTTTT SOFT CLEAN FLORAL FOR SOMEONE WHO HATES BASIC/STRONG FLORALS ITS SOOOO YUM 12/10
Fragrantica - This is not a “girly-girl” clean fragrance, but a straight up clean scent. Shampooey, but not in a flirty or attention-grabbing way. To me it leans unisex or evokes a calm and maybe more introspective woman. It’s more serious than fun and playful, but there’s also a gentle fluidity to it (lol not the MFK fragrance), and the juice feels light and transparent. It gives off zen vibes or like you’re in a spa, but it also smells like freshly-laundered sheets with a few shavings of a triple-milled soap (so hotel vibes, too).
In the notes there’s nothing outrightly gourmand about it, but there is an underlying sweetness, perhaps from the pink lotus and cassis, and they’re presented in this supple and dewy way. I feel confident when I wear this, and I love wearing it during colder or breezier evenings. I think it would also do well during rainy days. But it’s mostly an all-year signature scent. My only thing is, projection is strong within my own scent bubble, but no one else can seem to smell me no matter how much I spray on my skin. I still love it. An easy reach for me.
Fragrantica - This smells very perfumy in the opening. I agree with the other commenters. This absolutely smells like an expensive soap and I absolutely can't get enough. This lasts quite a while on my skin and clothes. What prompted me to buy a full bottle is how it smelled on my clothes. I sprayed myself with the travel sized bottle that I have before work, thinking it would disappear during the day. It did not! And during the work day it warmed up. I kept getting wafts of a warm, twinkling lived-in musky smell and I love it.
Fragrantica - This is a nice powdery musk. This can be worn in the evening or daily. This starts out with a strong projection and about hour it dries down a powdery skin scent. Love it!!
