Ellis Brooklyn
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Blackcurrant bursts forth with tart vivacity, immediately tempered by a clean, zesty bergamot that feels almost effervescent against the skin. The ambrette seed materialises almost immediately—a warm, slightly spiced whisper that prevents this from becoming merely a citrus fragrance.
The florals unfurl gradually, with jasmine becoming the dominant voice whilst pink lotus provides a creamy, almost coconut-tinged softness. Tiger orchid emerges as a subtle dissonant note, adding a slightly green, slightly bitter edge that keeps the composition from settling into predictability.
White cedarwood and patchouli assert themselves with quiet confidence, creating a woody, earthy base that remains creamy rather than austere. The musk appears as a whisper-soft final touch, allowing the fragrance to settle into an intimate skin-scent that lingers with restraint rather than persistence.
Ellis Brooklyn's Myth is a fragrance that refuses easy categorisation, which is precisely its appeal. Jérôme Epinette has crafted something that sits at the intersection of creamy florals and crisp citrus—a scent that feels simultaneously gauzy and grounded. The blackcurrant opening provides a tart, almost jammy counterpoint to the bergamot's brightness, whilst the ambrette seed introduces a warm, slightly animalic undertone that prevents the composition from becoming merely pretty.
What distinguishes Myth is how its floral heart avoids the trap of saccharine florality. Pink lotus and jasmine are softened by the creamy accords, creating a silken texture that feels almost tactile—as though you're rubbing suede against your skin. The tiger orchid adds an unexpected metallic, slightly bitter whisper, preventing the heart from settling into predictable territory. This is a fragrance for those who find traditional florals either too assertive or insufficiently complex.
