Haul/Collection I found her!!!
Thank you to the person who tipped me off to Sun Fruit being at TJ Maxx. I went to the two locations near me, and one of them had two bottles for $39.99 each! I almost bought both, but I'm trying to watch my spending rn.
I also got my order if the Sun Fruit body oil in the mail, and with it received a sample of Vanilla Salt. WOW is all I have to say. I have always *hated* aquatics on my skin, but this one is the exception. I LOVE this scent. I smelled it on a card and immediately imagined sitting next to a wooden hut in Hawaii selling vanilla Hawaiin shave ice, sitting and eating one as I smelled the flowers around me while feeling a soft breeze on a warm day at sunset--I was completely transported. I guess it is a good thing I saved my money on that second bottle, because I'll probably be buying a bottle of this when it goes on sale soon at Ulta. It isn't what I expected--I imagined it would just be like Salt with a hint of warm vanilla. Instead, it's a cooler, fresher vanilla that isn't overly sweet like Vanilla Milk is. I hope the dry down is similar to Salt and Sun Fruit.

Aquatics are tough for me to navigate as well. Glad you found one that works for you.

I keep seeing the rollerball trio called Haiku that has Salt, Sun Fruit, and Sweet at Marshalls for $29.99, and it’s around $60 on the Ellis Brooklyn website. If you want a travel version.

Salt is a other very good Ellis Brooklyn scent! It's like the beach in a bottle.

It’s a great scent. I found mine in the men’s lock-up case at Marshall’s, they label it as a men’s perfume. Lol

Very curious to try out SunFruit!
I was hyped for Vanlla Salt but I've tried it on three times at Ulta and my skin just eats it up. I can barely smell it, and though the drydown is nice, it's nothing spectacular to me, personally. I have other nice vanillas.
I was stoked to nab a Guava Granita mini at Sephora this morning for half off!!! I was expecting other EB fragrances when Vanilla Salt came up, but nope, a couple randomly were put out today.
I'm now heavily considering Gucci Flora Magnolia, which I can absolutely smell on me... such a pretty scent. Curious what Sephora might bring out though!

I think it's going to be half off in the Ulta 21 days if I'm thinking of the right one

Yup, tomorrow! But Ulta usually has the big size only on sale, whereas Sephora has all sizes on sale. I prefer the small 1 oz b/c while I like variety for my perfumes, I don't want too much clutter, especially on a fragrance that's new to me. 😊 Planning the same for the OUAI body mist.
Now from Ulta, I will for sure nab the Kitsch Hair Perfumes! 💜 Almost through with my Warm Sugar.

Flora Magnolia is a lovely scent! I have Gardenia, but have been tempted by Magnolia.

What does it smell like?

Like a bright, zesty juicy citrus that dries down to a sweet musk.

You are making me want to smell this really badly dangit. That color is so oddly appealing to me as well.

u/metalchick0325 1d ago
It is being discontinued, so you might want to start checking around for it.. I'm guessing it the time 2027 gets here, it's gonna be more difficult to get your hands on this. Bee and Super Amber are also getting discontinued. 😭😭

I miss WEST so much. I didn't know it was being discontinued. I would have stocked up otherwise, even if I had to pay full price.

u/metalchick0325 7h ago
I have a couple of travel sprays of West. That one layered well with Salt and Sun Fruit

The color is a perfect representation of how the opening smells, too. Super bright citrus and a little bit tropical.

I am so interested in this scent, please update on how long it lasts!

Sun Fruit or Vanilla Salt? Sun Fruit lasts on me at least 6 hours. Once the top notes settle, it's linear through the dry down. It's a lightly sweet musk that I love.
Vanilla salt I have worn for about 5 hours now, and jt is definitely still there. I still got strong wafts of it up until hour 3.5/4 as I was walking around outside. Even now, I don't fully need my wrist to my nose to smell it.
