Ellis Brooklyn Rives is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Jérôme Epinette. Rives opens with Petitgrain and Neroli, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Suede and Cashmere Wood. Ellis Brooklyn's Rives carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Ellis Brooklyn's Rives is a divisive one: a clean, soapy, unisex scent that some will find refreshing and professional, while others will dismiss it as overly masculine, old-fashioned, or even bug spray. Definitely try before you buy.

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.

About

Rives opens with a sharp, green burst of petitgrain and neroli, quickly evolving into a fresh, almost soapy blend where prominent lavender meets the sweet floral lift of orange blossom. The dry down introduces a sophisticated softness, with creamy cashmere wood and a subtle, clean suede note creating a comforting, slightly powdery finish that lingers close to the skin.
