Ellis Brooklyn Bee is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Meabh McCurtin. Bee opens with Davana and Rum, settles into a heart of Bran, Cinnamon, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Ellis Brooklyn's Bee carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either adore its boozy, syrupy embrace or find yourself scrubbing it off in disgust. It's a genuine honey bomb, though some find it a bit too cloying, medicinal, or even like 'chocolate diaper'. Definitely not a blind buy.

Heartas listed

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and distinct sweetness make it too strong for the office, but perfect for a date when you want to make an impression. While it’s often described as a cozy everyday scent, the intensity means a light hand is needed for casual wear, and it leans too gourmand for formal events or sport.

About

Imagine a rich, gooey honey, spiked with dark rum and sweetened by warm vanilla. Hints of cinnamon add a tantalising spice, while a unique bran note grounds the sweetness with an earthy, almost bready aspect. A final touch of cacao brings a deep, comforting richness to this decadent, complex gourmand.
