Name: First Date Eau de Toilette
Brand: Ellis Brooklyn

Ellis Brooklyn First Date is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Christine Hassan. First Date opens with Date, Musk, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Davana, Cream, Maple, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Ellis Brooklyn's First Date carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

If sweet, syrupy gourmands are your jam, this will hit that craving beautifully. It's a bold, sensual scent designed to get you noticed, not for the faint of heart, but a surefire crowd-pleaser for those who love their fragrances decadent and delicious.

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.

Also Works:

Casual

Its intensely sweet and syrupy gourmand profile, along with a 'sensual and sticky' projection noted by reviewers, makes it far too bold for office wear or formal events. It's perfectly suited for dates or cooler-weather casual outings where its decadent scent can truly shine.

About

First Date opens with a sticky, sweet rush of ripe dates, immediately conjuring a rich, dessert-like warmth. This luscious fruity sweetness is quickly enveloped by fluffy, comforting cream and a generous drizzle of maple syrup, creating an indulgent gourmand heart. A subtle hint of jasmine and davana adds a touch of creamy depth before the fragrance settles into an amber and woody base, softened by warm tonka bean and a lingering vanilla sweetness, leaving a delectable, sensual trail.
