Which Ellis Brooklyn sample to try first

Ellis Brooklyn is on DecantGems with 17 samples. This guide walks through 8 of them using only what is on record: names, concentrations, note lists and tags. We do not rank them, because the same perfume wears differently on every skin.

The selection

Ellis Brooklyn Fawn

Ellis Brooklyn Fawn is on the list from Ellis Brooklyn. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.

Ellis Brooklyn Salt

Ellis Brooklyn Salt by Ellis Brooklyn: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

Ellis Brooklyn Sun Fruit

Ellis Brooklyn Sun Fruit, by Ellis Brooklyn, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.

Ellis Brooklyn Iso Gamma Super

For Ellis Brooklyn Iso Gamma Super from Ellis Brooklyn we hold no notes; wear it and judge. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

Ellis Brooklyn Super Amber

No notes are on record for Ellis Brooklyn Super Amber from Ellis Brooklyn; the sample is the way to find out. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.

Ellis Brooklyn Dear Sky

Ellis Brooklyn also has Ellis Brooklyn Dear Sky. We have no pyramid on file for it. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.

Ellis Brooklyn Raven

Ellis Brooklyn also has Ellis Brooklyn Raven. We have no pyramid on file for it. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt

Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt is on the list from Ellis Brooklyn. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.

Also in this selection: Ellis Brooklyn Rrose, Ellis Brooklyn Florist, Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk, Ellis Brooklyn Sci Fi, Ellis Brooklyn Sweet, Ellis Brooklyn Apres, Ellis Brooklyn Bee, Ellis Brooklyn West, Ellis Brooklyn Myth.

How to test them

Test it on skin and not only on paper. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression.

Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing.

Questions

How were these samples chosen?

By the tags and note lists on record for each perfume. Nothing was added from memory, the order is not a ranking, and perfumes without recorded notes are described without notes.

Are these samples made by the brands?

No. They are decants: FragranceGems fills each one from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it. They are not official brand samples.

Why do some perfumes show no notes?

Because we only print notes we can trace to a source. Where no note list is on record, the page says so and leaves the judging to your own skin.
