About This Perfume
Vanilla Milk by Ellis Brooklyn is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women. Vanilla Milk was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Meabh McCurtin. Top notes are Milk, Frangipani, Jasmine and Peony; middle notes are Bourbon Vanilla, Madagascar Vanilla and Cacao Pod; base notes are Benzoin, Amyris, Musk and Sandalwood. "Delicious yet sophisticated, faceted yet smooth, VANILLA MILK is a fragrance of paradoxes. VANILLA MILK eau de parfum uses two types of vanilla extracts, a touch of florals, delectable cocoa shell, rich amyris, and a creamy milk accord. Ellis Brooklyn’s Bee Shapiro and female Irish perfumer Meabh McCurtin, two outsiders to the perfume world, came together to create a vanilla fragrance from a fresh perspective—one that is uniquely addictive." Top: Creamy Milk Accord, Frangipani, Peony Rose Heart: Bourbon Vanilla Bean, Madagascar Vanilla Bean Extract, Upcycled Cocoa Shell Extract DryBase: Benzoin Resinoid, Amyris, Sandalwood, Musk Available as a 10 and 50 ml Eau de Parfum.
