🧡 Super Amber YES! ❤️… I LOVE this one! Its clean, slightly sweet 👌🏾. Super comforting and grown but not heavy 🥰 Scent melts into you and makes people want to get closer. Definitely full-size worthy for me 💯
🌲Apres is a immediate no for me ❌This one leans very outdoorsy, like woods, fresh air, and a little green areas. Not my vibe at all. It’s not sweet or soft like what I usually go for, so it just ISN'T 👎🏾
... Read moreOkay, so after my last post raving about Ellis Brooklyn's Super Amber and giving a hard pass to Apres, I've had so many of you reach out asking about other scents from the brand! It really got me thinking about my next fragrance adventure with Ellis Brooklyn.
Let's dive a little deeper into why Super Amber stole my heart. The OCR description nails it: it's truly a 'cozy, warm, addictive scent that envelops like a cashmere blanket on warm bare skin.' Those notes of amber, biodegradable musk, cedarwood, and vanilla orchid create such a sophisticated yet comforting aroma. It's clean but has a depth that makes it feel grown-up without being heavy, exactly what I look for in an everyday signature scent. It truly does melt into you and makes people want to get closer, just as I said!
Now, Apres, on the other hand, just wasn't for me. While the OCR describes it beautifully with 'the crispness of evergreens, the dewy scent of fresh snow, the warm allure of bourbon and praline,' it leaned way too 'outdoorsy' for my personal taste. I appreciate the artistry, but it lacked the sweetness and softness I crave. It's definitely for someone who loves a true woody, green, fresh air scent, perhaps someone who enjoys being enveloped in a forest-like aroma. It's a testament to how personal fragrance truly is!
But my Ellis Brooklyn journey doesn't end there! You guys have been buzzing about a few other scents, and they're definitely on my radar for my next sniff test.
First up, Ellis Brooklyn New Crush. I've heard this one is a bit of a departure, often described as a soft, floral, and slightly musky scent that's incredibly easy to wear. I'm picturing something effortlessly charming, maybe with hints of rose or peony, and a clean musk base that makes it feel like 'your skin but better.' It sounds like it could be a lovely everyday option, perhaps a lighter, more ethereal version of Super Amber's comfort. I'm curious if it has that same 'melt into you' quality that I adore.
Then there's the Miss Strawberry Perfume Mist. As someone who initially picked up the Marshmallow mist, the idea of a strawberry version is super intriguing! I'm hoping for a juicy, fresh strawberry, not overly sugary or artificial. Imagine walking through a field of ripe strawberries on a warm day – that's the vibe I'm dreaming of. A mist is perfect for a light, refreshing pick-me-up throughout the day, and if it captures that natural fruity sweetness, it could be a fun addition to my collection, especially for layering or just a quick spritz after a shower.
And finally, Ellis Brooklyn Isla Sirena Perfume. This one sounds like pure escapism in a bottle! From what I've gathered, it evokes images of tropical beaches and salty air, maybe with hints of coconut, tiare flower, or even a touch of warm sand. I'm imagining a vibrant, sun-drenched floral with an aquatic twist – perfect for summer vacations or when I just want to capture that vacation feeling at home. It sounds like a stark contrast to the cozy warmth of Super Amber and the crisp woods of Apres, offering a completely different facet of the Ellis Brooklyn brand. Could this be my next go-to for warmer weather?
It's so much fun exploring the different vibes Ellis Brooklyn offers. Each scent tells its own story, and finding the ones that resonate with your personal style is such a joy. What other Ellis Brooklyn scents should I try next, especially if I loved Super Amber? Let me know your thoughts!
