VANILLA SALT Eau de Parfum

I love vanilla, and am a sucker for any beach scent, so this is perfection! The vanilla is gourmand, but much more of a vanilla bean than a sugary vanilla. The beach scent is somewhat sunscreen-y, but I personally love that and want it in my summer scents. This perfume is sunny and bright, and it just makes me smile.

I originally received the 10ml size of this perfume in a Space NK Christmas cracker and fell in love with it almost instantly. The scent was so beautiful and wearable that I found myself reaching for it all the time. I enjoyed it so much that I treated myself to the full‑size bottle - and I’m so glad I did. It’s long‑lasting, smells incredible, and feels like a real staple fragrance for me now. Easily one of my favourites.

I recently tried the Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt Eau de Parfum, and I can honestly say this fragrance is absolutely amazing. From the first spray, it gives off a scent that is sexy, warm, and incredibly classy. It has a bold presence without being overwhelming, and there’s something about it that feels effortlessly luxurious. What really stands out to me is how “loud” the fragrance is in the best way possible. It’s not subtle or forgettable it makes a statement. The vanilla note is rich and inviting, but it’s elevated by a unique twist that stops it from feeling too sweet or basic. Instead, it comes across as refined, modern, and sophisticated. There’s also a certain depth to this fragrance that gives it a wealthy aroma. It smells expensive and polished, like something you would wear when you want to feel confident and put together. It has that kind of presence where people notice it and compliment you without it being overpowering. As it settles on the skin, the warmth really comes through, creating a soft but sensual finish. It lingers beautifully throughout the day and transitions perfectly into the evening, making it a great all-rounder for different occasions. Overall, this is a stunning perfume that perfectly balances warmth, sexiness, and elegance. It feels bold yet classy, and truly stands out from more traditional vanilla fragrances. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a signature scent that feels luxurious, confident, and unforgettable.

I love this scent - it’s like you’ve walked along the beach in the summer and caught salt off the waves but intermingled with a gourmand vanilla - I also think the bottle is stylish and looks nice on my dressing table. I have it 4/5 starts though because I have to spray a fair amount to be able to smell it on myself - longevity is good but not so good at projection sadly. But I’m enjoying being able to smell it on myself.
