First Date Ellis Brooklyn
First Date by Ellis Brooklyn is a gourmand-leaning perfume mist centered on creamy, sweet notes of dates, vanilla, and tonka bean. The fragrance opens with fresh dates, jasmine petals, and a soft sweet musk that introduce a fruity and lightly floral impression. The heart develops into a more indulgent profile with whipped cream, Madagascar vanilla, date syrup, and davana, creating a dense, sugary and creamy character. In the drydown, tonka bean, white amber, and creamy woods add warmth, smoothness, and a gentle woody facet. Conceived by founder Bee Shapiro and composed by perfumer Christine Hassan, First Date aims to capture the atmosphere of an anticipatory first encounter through its progression from bright sweetness to a richer, cosier base. "What's more memorable and nerve-wracking and enticing than a FIRST DATE? Here, I wanted to toss the notion of a shy first dater out the window. It feels dated (no pun intended)! Instead the scent is bold, forward, and heady. With the whipped cream note paired with sugary dates, FIRST DATE is full of sweet possibility." - Bee Shapiro, Founder. "I was inspired by the thrill of that very first encounter - that moment filled with anticipation and possibility. The fragrance opens with a rich, golden sweetness that feels instantly inviting. At its heart, a decadent blend of cream and syrup creates a velvety, intimate texture. As it unfolds, ribbons of caramel add a warm, glowing sensuality, while creamy woods linger beneath, leaving a lasting impression of depth and comfort." - Christine Hassan, Perfumer.
