Hate Floral Fragrances? Ellis Brooklyn Florist Perfume Might Change
The primary line on the web site’s copy for Ellis Brooklyn Florist Eau de Parfum exclaims that the scent “is a celebration of citrus floral.” On paper, because of this the fragrance is a celebration of my two least favorite categories of perfume.
