Ellie by Ellie D, and other new fragrances at Henri Bendel’s

Posted by Robin on 2 March 2007 14 Comments

Ellie by Ellie D perfume

Ellie is the debut fragrance from the new line Ellie D. Ellie was developed by perfumer Michel Roudnitska, and includes notes of white flowers, vanilla and vetiver.

From an early age, Jessica Dunne had a passion for perfume. She often experimented by mixing her own scents and admired the beauty of vintage perfume bottles, collecting them for years. Her own vintage bottle collection inspired the classic bottle that holds Ellie. After graduate work in art history and five years in the New York art world, Jessica decided to start Ellie D Perfume, utilizing her love of perfume and her desire to create original fragrances. Jessica's Grandmother, Eleanor Dunne, after whom Ellie is named, and Jessica's early memories of other important women in her life shaped the role of fragrance in her perceptions of beauty and femininity. Captivated by the powerful connection between scent and memory, Jessica was inspired to create a perfume infused with nostalgia with youthful and modern sensibility.

The Ellie D line is exclusive to Henri Bendel's in New York. I will try to update later with the fragrance concentration and price.

Update: Ellie D Ellie is a Parfum (extrait), and runs $180 for 15 ml. The notes are bergamot, tangerine and cyclamen in the top, a heart of lily of the valley, jasmine, gardenia, rose and fig leaves, and base notes of vetiver, sandalwood, musk, vanilla and coconut.

Another update: see a review of Ellie by Ellie D.

Other recent additions at Bendel's include Costes, the Teo Cabanel line, and Etat Libre d'Orange. The following scents from Etat Libre d'Orange are now in stock: Antihéros, Divin' Enfant, Don't Get Me Wrong, Eloge du Traitre, Encens et Bubblegum, Jasmin et Cigarette, Je Suis un Homme, Nombril Immense, Putain de Palaces, Rien, Sécrétions Magnifiques, Vierges et Toréros and Vrai Blonde. Four candles are also available (Entrecuisse, Messe Rose, Soldat Inconnu, Bottes et Ceinturon). (via Henri Bendel)

    ***Gasping*** Could this line possibly challenge the beauty of MR's Parfums Del Rae?

    Hugs!

    Ditto what Marina said. Huge fan of Roudnitska and this sounds potentially amazing. Called up Bendel's and the person I spoke to said it's only available in parfum and goes for, gulp, $180. I asked him if that was for 15 ml and he said he thought it was more, perhaps a half ounce. Yeah. Slight eye roll there. I didn't press him further after that. He did say it's been hugely popular. Sob! I really have this sinking feeling I need this.

    Given current fragrance prices, $180 for 15 ml (or as much as half an ounce, LOL) parfum struck me as hopeful — an Eau de Parfum, if they released one, wouldn't be out of reach? Maybe?

    Oh, it's definitely not unreasonable at all for a parfum. But it's just more than my budget can take at the moment w/ everything else I want. An edp would be perfect!

    Okay, 15 ml… no 1/2 oz….snork, snork!!

    Anyway, R, if you could find out more details, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a sneaking suspicion that Ellie D may be a line to watch.

    Hugs!
