Ellis Brooklyn Fable is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jérôme Epinette. Fable opens with Neroli and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Violet, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Amber and Cedar. Ellis Brooklyn's Fable carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive yet delightful, Fable is either a fresh, natural honeysuckle dream or a harsh, soapy laundry detergent. You'll either adore its clean, green zest or find it utterly uninspired.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its clean and fresh profile, make it suitable for office and casual wear. It's too light for formal events and while fresh, not invigorating enough for sport, though several reviewers noted its suitability for daytime and warm weather.

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.

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

Fable opens with a burst of crisp neroli and a hint of tart blackcurrant, creating an immediately clean and green impression. As it settles, the heart emerges with a sweet, almost indolic honeysuckle, complemented by the green facets of petitgrain and a subtle powdery violet. The base grounds the composition with a soft cedar and warm amber, leaning into a 'fresh laundry' accord that many find comforting and pleasant, while others detect a synthetic edge.
