A Field of Daffodils
Ellie is a fragrance that really works for me. I have a fondness for the way it smells on my skin, and in a way I consider it nostalgic, due to the floral component reminding me of my childhood.
As a youngster in school, I loved playing amongst the yellow daffodils that grew wild in the school yard. I would place them in my hair, make pretty bouquets or sit there sniffing them for hours. The opening of Ellie smells just like a field of daffodils on my skin, and takes me right back to those days almost twenty years ago when life was so carefree.
Ellie has a rather natural approach, with the white floral accord smelling just like a fresh, green garden during Spring. I found the scent to be quite pretty and feminine, an inoffensive and polite choice for both Spring and Summer.
The heart and drydown took a great deal of time to develop on my skin. It began with a hint of faint, musky vanilla on top of the white floral accords. A subtle hint of delicious coconut milk was also present. For at least the first three or so hours of wear I had nothing negative to say about the composition at all.
The salty vetiver accord made itself known quite late in the drydown, and while it did 'dirty' things up a bit, I can't say that I found it particularly obtrusive or sharp. If anything, it made Ellie smell less feminine and a tad less predictable. In all honesty, I sometimes have to be in the right mood to appreciate the vetiver rich drydown, but I find that the more times I wear this scent, the more pleasant the drydown becomes.
I am thoroughly impressed by the longevity of Ellie. I'll spritz the EDP on early in the morning, and by late afternoon I can still catch wafts of it radiating from my pulse points. I can only imagine how intense the Parfum concentration would be. If you're struggling to find this fragrance or really want to try it, Ellie can be easily found on Luckyscent, with samples also being available.
