Sun Fruit

Why Ellis Brooklyn Sun Fruit Has a Following

Certain fragrances build reputations quietly, through consistent word of mouth rather than advertising spend. Sun Fruit is that kind of fragrance — an EDP from Ellis Brooklyn with a Fruity, Sweet, Coconut, Citrus, White Floral composition that has earned serious advocates in fragrance communities worldwide. Here is why, in scores rather than superlatives.

A clean-beauty fruit cocktail combining fig, coconut, and solar floral warmth.

How Sun Fruit Smells: Notes & Development

Sun Fruit opens with Fig, Bergamot, Plum and Pear — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Cyclamen. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Coconut, Amber, Musk and Vanilla.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Fruity, Sweet, Coconut, Citrus, White Floral — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
