Among my hot takes is that I think beaches are overhyped. Let me discuss: While I think crystal clear blue water is beautiful and the ocean breeze is calming, I’m not a fan of getting sunburns no matter how much SPF I apply, the remaining odor of fish, and discovering a complimentary spot on the beach can be like circling around in a parking area a vehicle leaves.
Nevertheless, I love the concept of going to a beach: a carefree afternoon consuming popsicles, checking out books, and (securely) getting some vitamin D. That’s why Ellis Brooklyn’s Sun Fruit Eau de Parfum has rapidly become my go-to scent heading into spring.
The fragrance stimulates memories of tan lines and bare skin on the beach, and I like that it’s inspired by an Emily Dickson poem on prohibited fruit. Sun Fruit consists of notes of fresh fig, bergamot, handpicked jasmine, cyclamen, coconut, and vanilla, all of which are tidy and sustainably sourced by the brand.
Not your typical floral fragrance, Sun Fruit is underlyingly sensual and sentimental due to its simple mix of sweet and velvety notes. I’ve found myself grabbing the neon green bottle on particularly cold and dreary days or demanding ones when I’ll do anything to assist me unwind, but I likewise anticipate to continue using it all spring (and summertime) long.
