Ellen Tracy Bronze is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Pierre Negrin. Bronze opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Apple, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Violet Leaf, Lily of the Valley, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Heliotrope, and Orchid. Ellen Tracy's Bronze carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one is a total bargain-bin stunner, punching way above its weight class. It's a sweet, powdery lemon dream that divides opinion, but for many, it's a nostalgic, cuddly hug in a bottle that smells surprisingly expensive.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Seasons

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:

Its soft sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for casual wear, often noted for being 'inoffensive' and 'office safe' if applied lightly. The sweet and powdery accords lean away from formal settings, and its gentle nature isn't suited for active sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bronze opens with a zesty, almost fizzy lemonade splash, brightened by mandarin and green apple. This lively introduction soon softens into a creamy, powdery heart where violet leaf and heliotrope reign, evoking a vintage makeup bag feel. A warm, sweet amber and vanilla orchid base emerges, underscored by subtle cedar, creating a comforting, gentle finish that lingers for ages.
