Ellis Brooklyn Sci Fi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Jérôme Epinette. Sci Fi opens with Bergamot and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Freesia and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood and Vanilla. Ellis Brooklyn's Sci Fi carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a clean, fresh citrus-tea vanilla that's either a quirky, unique delight or a faint, disappointing cleaning product, depending on who you ask. Performance is the biggest sticking point, but for a simple, inoffensive everyday scent, it does the trick.

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 Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile, coupled with often weak projection, makes it an ideal office scent, as many reviewers noted wearing it to work. Its lightness also suits casual and warmer weather wear, though for dates or formal events, it might lack impact.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Sci Fi opens with a vibrant, zesty bitter orange and bergamot, like peeling fresh citrus. This bright start quickly mellows into an aromatic green tea heart, softened expertly by subtle freesia. The base emerges as a delicate, airy vanilla bean, underpinned by a creamy, woody cashmere that settles close to the skin.
