Warm, delicious fragrance with rum, honey, and vanilla notes / 1.7 oz & .33 oz

Ellis Brooklyn BEE is one of those warm scents that is so delicious, you just can’t stop smelling it. You’ll pause and some point and think, “I smell vanilla, and rum, and cocoa, and…is that a bran muffin? I swear it smells a little like the most delicious bran muffin I could imagine. Am I crazy?” No, you are not crazy. It does, in fact, contain bran absolute, and it smells absolutely divine.  

With top notes of rum and davana; middle notes of honey, bran absolute and cinnamon; and base notes of sandalwood, vanilla bean, and cocoa absolute, it’s an ode to self-love. BEE is one of those scents that makes you want to keep smelling it on your wrist: its creator, Bee Chang Shapiro, made it to celebrate the magical journey of finding and falling in love with yourself.

Like all the Ellis Brooklyn scents, BEE is free of endocrine-disrupting phthalates and parabens, but far more complex than the typical essential-oil fragrances that are typically the only option if you're avoiding those questionable ingredients. It’s no wonder the Ellis Brooklyn scents are so excellent: they’ve been created by a beauty and style writer for The New York Times and Vogue, along with star perfumers known for creating some of the chicest scents on shelves worldwide.

The phthalate-free fragrance, made in small batches in New York, is housed in an environmentally-friendly glass bottle from an Ecocert supplier; the biodegradable Bakelite compression cap is petrochemical-free. And it all will look gorgeous on your dresser.
