Ellen Tracy EDP Spray, 3.4 oz

Product Information

Ellen Tracy perfume performs like a champ. I hope you don’t hate it if you try it because it’s not going anywhere once it’s on your wrist. This is a clean, soapy classic full of florals and musk with which I’ve gone through phases of love and dislike. It’s the most similar to Ellen Tracy perfume on my skin. Everyone is different, though. Though its notes are similar to Ellen Tracy’s (jasmine, sandalwood, amber, and lily-of-the-valley), I don’t smell much sandalwood or amber with this one, either. However, there is a little warmth. Guerlain Champs-Elysees Some days, it was more interesting than others. I noticed more stages as I wore it through the day–from baby wipes to plums, peaches, and green notes. Then it was on to cologne (once) and soapy florals (that part lasted the longest). Then there were the days it was all cinnamon, amber, and sandalwood. When I set out to write this Ellen Tracy perfume review, I didn’t know what to expect. I’d always dismissed this fragrance as something bland but pleasant enough. I worked from home, so I didn’t need to worry about anyone else’s opinion or choose “inoffensive, office-safe” scents, so I didn’t. I still don’t, but I’m starting to appreciate these perfumes anyway. I was all about warm florientals and similar fragrance families. When it’s in spicy-warm mode, the projection starts low and builds to medium before settling there. Ellen Tracy Perfume Pros

After a few days with Ellen Tracy on my wrist, I finally figured it out: Donna Karan Cashmere Mist. My first thought was Estee Lauder Sensuous without all the warmth. not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage arising under these terms and It’s almost linear. Not very interesting as it progresses throughout the day. Some days, it seemed more interesting than others.

Terms and Conditions of return

On the rare occasion that the spices, woods, and amber take the stage, I get a different mental image. I’m still in an office, but it’s big, private, and all mine. It’s got inviting brown leather chairs, gleaming (full) bookshelves along the walls, and the light’s dim like it’s nighttime. I’m working on something I’m passionate about. On the odd day that it morphs into that spicy, warm, well-rounded version of itself, I smell the cinnamon, carnation, cedar, oakmoss, amber, and sandalwood, but none of the citrus or green notes. It’s all spices and warmth. It’s so “nice” I feel bad trying to come up with negative things to say about it. I feel like a bully. I wish I could smell all these notes on the same day; I wish they interacted more. At first, I felt like my bottle was missing something because the description didn’t match my experience.

It’s inoffensive and could be worn anywhere, any time (you’d probably want something sexier for a date night, though). I don’t mind having a perfume that smells completely different from one day to the next as long as I know how to pull out the notes I want that day. I shy away when I don’t know what to expect. How Does It Perform? The nozzle works well and spritzes the perfect amount of perfume on your skin. – Image by Crystal Schwanke I’m older, my hair’s a little disheveled (the clip’s long gone), and I’m focused on something that matters. I feel cozy and comfortable in my own skin and where I am in life. There’s confidence, but it’s more settled and relaxed, less showy than in the other version. I wouldn’t call Ellen Tracy perfume sexy, but it’s close when it smells like this. What Did It Remind Me Of? FragranceNet lists a few notes: Peach, plum, lemon, orchid, and sandalwood. I mostly agree, though I usually don’t smell any sandalwood and think there’s more going on here than just those notes. In this case, they almost nailed it, but if there’s cinnamon here, my nose can’t detect it for very long on most days, and it just lumps it in with a vague “cologne smell” until it leaves.If Ellen Tracy doesn’t work for you, there are a few others you might enjoy more. Because Ellen Tracy seems to be fresh, floral, and soapy on some and spicy and woody on others, I included both types of fragrances. I also listed perfumes with similar notes that do come across the way you’d expect them to when you read the notes. Donna Karan Cashmere Mist It’s a little bit of a Jekyll and Hyde situation but far less extreme. Two things are happening in the same perfume, and they’re very different. I never know which one’s going to show up. The Soapy, Creamy White Floral I wish I knew what to expect from this perfume or could figure out what makes it behave one way on Monday and another on Tuesday. It doesn’t make sense, and there’s a big difference between its two personas. About Ellen Tracy Perfume

At one point, I noticed a pleasant, tingly note that made me think of raspberry and pepper, but it didn’t linger long. Around that time, a fleeting hint of spiciness reminded me of cologne. The projection seemed unwieldy at first and made me think it was too much, but it settled down after about an hour and remained average for most of the day. I could still smell it on my skin the next morning, but after about 6-8 hours, I was probably the only person who would smell it. I’d catch a whiff every now and then when I moved my arm near my face, and I didn’t have to try too hard to smell it if I sniffed my wrist. This is a happy white floral fragrance with a sparkling mimosa note layered on warm sandalwood. It’s one of the ones my brain was trying to make the connection with as the Ellen Tracy on my wrist nagged at me the first day. Clinique Calyx plays up the peach, plum, and green notes, which are part of Ellen Tracy’s make-up, too. If that’s the part that was most interesting to you, but it didn’t linger (or you’re afraid Ellen Tracy will just turn too soapy and white floral on you), give Calyx a try. It’s fresh, feminine, and fruity. Yves Saint Laurent Opium It’s still a charming fragrance and serves a purpose, but it’s not for me. (I’m sure some people will absolutely love it, and it’ll give them a different experience the first time they spray it on). I haven’t gravitated so far from the heavier, warm florals yet that this one is a “must” for me.I don’t know what to expect when I spray this because it smells different daily, and the difference is wild. YSL Opium has a tendency to smell spicy but not overwhelming. If Ellen Tracy is a no-go for you because you wanted all that warmth and spice, give Opium perfume a sniff.

I love Sensuous so much, but I can’t wear it because I gave a bottle to my mom for Christmas one year, and now I just associate it with her even though she’s moved on to other scents. This has white florals like Ellen Tracy, but they’re on an intoxicating, sweet, warm, woody base. I feel like Ellen Tracy should be a less sensual version of this. The projection and sillage are outstanding. Michael Kors Sexy AmberOur liability is limited and excluded to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. We will It’s beautiful, feminine, light, and inoffensive. I can see how some people (interesting, lovely, brilliant people!) could love it. I can also believe this one performs much better on other people than on me because it has so much potential based on its notes–they just didn’t come through on my skin. Older, Wiser, and Passionate That’s how I ended up deciding to give Ellen Tracy perfume a try. My Thoughts at a Glance I love how sleek and modern the bottle looks. – Image by Crystal Schwanke My tastes have been shifting lately. I still like some warmth in my fragrances once they dry, but I’m more open-minded about wearing other types of perfumes. I used to enjoy all kinds of perfumes on other people, but now I’m willing to add them to my own collection. In other words, it’s not taking me anywhere exciting. I’m probably at an office, doing uninspiring work and dreaming of some day in the future when I can be as creative as I want and make the rules myself.
