A choose-your-own adventure fragrance layering set / 6 x .07 oz mini fragrances 

Ellis Brooklyn’s Adventure set is playful, pretty, and simply perfect — and if you are remotely interested in fragrance, we really think you need one.

In case you’re not already familiar with them, Ellis Brooklyn’s fragrances are not only free of endocrine-disrupting phthalates and parabens, but also gorgeously sophisticated and different. It’s no wonder they’re so excellent: they’ve been created by Bee Shapiro, a beauty and style writer for The New York Times, Vogue, and others, and Jerome Epinette, the genius behind Byredo and other chic fragrances. 

This fun little set features glass spray vials of three of their best-selling eau de parfums — Rrose, Myth (our favorite), and Sci Fi. The adventure comes in the form of three single notes also housed in spray vials — mandarin, tuberose, and patchouli — so that you can play perfumer, layering and experimenting however your little heart desires.

And the best part? It’s goof-proof. You truly can’t come up with a bad blend here. But if you’re a rule follower, we asked Bee to share some of her favorite layering techniques on our blog. 

Below, you’ll find Bee’s description of each element of the Adventure set. You may want to buy it for the Patchouli alone.

ELLIS BROOKLYN BEST SELLERS

Myth (2.5mL): The most alluring musk around — bergamot, cassis and jasmine petals make a first impression before lingering with patchouli, liquid musks, and white cedarwood.

Rrose (2.5mL): Not your grandma's rose — a sparkling combination of Centifolia rose petals and Sicilian lemon over vanilla orchid and spring musks.

Sci Fi (2.5mL): An otherworldly vanilla — an intriguing, unforgettable blend of green tea, pink freesia, bitter orange and vanilla beans.

100% NATURAL SINGLE NOTES—THE HEART OF THE PERFUMER’S REPERTOIRE

Tuberose (2.5mL): Sourced from India, this fascinating floral note is at once powerful, creamy and delicate. Layer on to add sultriness and complexity to any scent.

Mandarin (2.5mL): From Italy, this zesty citrus note plays well with nearly every fragrance. Tip: it’s also wonderfully fresh worn solo.

Patchouli (2.5mL): With a complex aroma that’s at once earthy and green, patchouli is a fascinating ingredient in a vast majority of modern-day fragrances. This particular kind is sourced from Indonesia and is perfume-quality—you likely have not smelled fine patchouli like this on its own before.
