My Top Pick: Miami Nectar by Ellis Brooklyn
My personal favorite is Miami Nectar (no, it’s not only because I recently moved to South Florida). This scent feels like that first sip of a margarita on a sunny day—zesty, cool, and just the right amount of sweet. The first notes to hit your nose are bright and refreshing bursts of lime and coconut water before they settle into this soft, beachy vibe that sticks around like a tan after vacation. It’s not loud or in-your-face, but people will definitely lean in and ask, “What are you wearing?” Perfect for pretending you’re on a tropical getaway when it’s 40 degrees outside.
More Allure editors on their favorite Ellis Brooklyn fragrances:
Lexi’s Pick: Florist by Ellis Brooklyn
“I will forever be a sucker for a floral scent, and Florist by Ellis Brooklyn is one of my absolute favorites. The light, breezy scent transports you to a sunny afternoon walking through a lush garden. It’s long-lasting, lush, and the perfect amount of intensity for any season.” — Lexi Herrick, senior director, audience
Kara’s Pick: Après by Ellis Brooklyn
“Imagine your favorite, evergreen-scented holiday candle: crisp, herbaceous, and a little spicy. Now imagine you’re sipping an old-fashioned as you light the candle, adding notes of sweet bourbon and smoky bitters to your overall olfactory experience. That’s this perfume in a nutshell. It’s unlike anything in my collection, and I wear it all winter long.” — Kara McGrath, content director
Sarah’s Pick: Sun Fruits by Ellis Brooklyn
“As someone who doesn’t wear fragrance too often—but will spritz one when the occasion calls for it (I’m in a slump! I’m going on date night!)—Sun Fruit is the clear winner in the Ellis Brooklyn lineup. This “vacation in a bottle” is the perfect blend of fruity and floral—a.k.a. not too heavy in either category—and I’m instantly energized with every spritz. Even though the vibes lean toward summer and spring, the mood-boosting qualities are enough for me to wear all year round. Can you blame me? Fresh fig, jasmine, and vanilla are too scrumptious to pass up!” — Sarah Han, commerce editor
Deanna’s Pick: Dear Sky by Ellis Brooklyn
“To be fair, I’ve been a fan of fruity florals since high school—you say basic, I say classic—but this one is different. It does have an easy-to-love lineup of honeydew, strawberry leaf, and peony, but what sets it apart is the crisp quality—think waking up a desert at dawn. It’s cleaner and fresher than juicy, which I’ve been loving.” — Deanna Pai. interim shopping director
Talia’s Pick: Bee by Ellis Brooklyn
“Sweet honey, gourmand rum, and a touch of vanilla bean are just a few notes in this warm and fuzzy fragrance, which makes an excellent base for any fragrance layering. I like to pair a generous few sprays with a floral-forward jasmine fragrance (like Ellis Brooklyn’s Myth), which almost guarantees a handful of compliments throughout the day.” — Talia Gutierrez, associate manager, special projects
