For any buyer where quality and uniqueness command a genuine premium, Ellis Brooklyn Myth positions itself as an intelligent investment.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Ellis Brooklyn Myth opens with Bergamot, Ambrette Seed and Cassis — the first impression as it hits the skin. As the opening settles, the composition pivots to its heart of Tiger Orchid, Pink Lotus and Jasmine Petals. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Patchouli, Liquid Musks and White Cedarwood.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Musky, Floral, Powdery, Fresh — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
