The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2023 - Issue 34

bitebeauty tra-smooth blend of peach skin, muguet (lily of the valley), plum blossom, sugar cane and vanilla. The scent is inspired by poet and writer Dorothy Parker’s quote: “London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it.” The founder was also inspired by the Big Apple when she created the scent. “New York has been a magical place where I felt I could finally be the true me. It's a city with its very highs and lows, and in between all the madness, there is an enchanting and forever memorable genius. Apple Love is my fragrance ode to the sweet sophistication and glamour of the city.” Her namesake, Bee, is in a booklet fragrance discovery set, perfume, travel spray and vial, dripping with honey, warmed with dark rum, and loaded with the addictive notes of vanilla bean, sandalwood, and cocoa absolute. “It’s the magical jour- ney of finding and falling in love with yourself and perfect for those who love warm and spicy scents.” It takes its cue from a line in Mary Oliver’s poem The Journey : “One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began.” Raven perfume and travel spray are described as witty, myste- rious, captivating, and humorous. It holds a mythic status in various literature, from the dark leanings of Edgar Allan Poe to the clever depictions atop Native American totem poles. The character complexity of this stunning peony-patchouli vies’ seduction lasts long before the first notes of mandarin and rhubarb, developing into a heady olfactive brew under- lined by blond woods and liquid masks. The cosy, warm and addictive Super Amber perfume, travel spray and vial envelopes like a cashmere blanket on warm, bare skin. It’s the beautiful marriage of cutting-edge olfactive technology made with minimal environmental and social impact and clean perfumery free from fragrance allergens. Unlike traditional fragrances, Super Amber is not structured with top, middle and base notes. Instead, it blooms once it interacts with your skin’s unique chemistry. Ellis Brooklyn’s Terrific Scented Candles are 100% vegan with super creamy wax, providing a better burn and scent throw. Pseudonym consists of ripe figs, jasmine, pepper and creamy sandalwood entwined to create the seductive scent inspired by D. H. Lawrence’s poem Figs. “The proper way to eat a fig, in society, is to split it in four, holding it by the stump. And to open it so that it is a glittering, rosy, moist, honied, heavy-pet- alled four-petalled flower.” Verb is energetic, bright and convincing, blended with fresh bergamot, mandarin and green basil notes. It has a cedar wood and musk base, giving the frank and direct scent be- fitting of Hemingway. “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write with the truest sentence you know.” The bold, daring, seductive Superego is inspired by great travel writings that transport and transform saffron, black leather, oud, pas- sion fruit, apple blossom, and centifolia (cabbage) rose notes. This year, Ellis Brooklyn launched its latest premium fra- grance body mists in the UK at luxury beauty retailer Space NK. The Sun, Sea and Sand scents are presented in stunning 100 ml recycled frosted glass bottles with an ombre finish, featuring a satisfying atomiser and natural origin ingredients. Using these sensational body mists doesn't have to be sum- mer; you can take them on your travels to an exotic or hot country or escape from the winter season here. The fruity and flirty Sun Fragrance Body Mist is the life of the beach party captured in a scent as joyful and playful as an af- ternoon in the sunshine. It has top notes of Italian mandarin, sweet clementine and lemon sfuma infused with heart notes of orange flower water, Williams pear blossom and vanilla, finished with base notes of cedar wood, upcycled musk and ambrox super. “Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August” from Jenny Han’s The Summer|Turned Pretty. Sea Fragrance Body Mist is described as aquatic and airy with a touch of florals. Inspired by the beauty of the waves, it’s bright, nearly effervescent and endlessly captivating and gives a transportive experience. With top notes of lemon sfu- ma, Italian mandarin and ginger, it gives way to heart notes of pineapple leaves, jasmine and dewy cassis and base notes of tonka bean, upcycled cedar wood and sandalwood. This scent is inspired by a sentence from Helen Keller’s autobiography, The Story of My Life. Spend a sweet day at the shore with Sand Fragrance Body Mist, a captivating and lingering perfume that’s warm, invit- ing and seductive like sun-warmed bare skin. Its top notes consist of Italian bergamot, pink pepper and coconut milk, with heart notes of ginger lily, jasmine absolute and benzo- in and base notes of vanilla absolute, sandalwood and musk. “We were miraculous. We were beach creatures. We had treasures in our pockets and each other on our skin” from Nina LaCour’s young adult book, We Are Okay.
