Miami Nectar

Beachy, tropical, exotic, fruity, fresh, juicy, sweet, bright, floral, warm, woody, green, flirty, playful, cheerful, uplifting On me this opens very tropical, fruity, sweet, juicy, and fresh with refreshing coconut water, tropical, sweet, slightly tangy, and juicy pineapple, and the fresh and green scent of the palm leaf. As it starts drying down the exotic and slightly buttery frangipani, jasmine, and delicate sweetness of the lily-of-the-valley come through and balance out the fruity sweetness of the pineapple. Further into the dry down the scent becomes more warm and woody as the soft vanilla, slightly earthy moss, and the rich and woody scents of the amberwood and driftwood start becoming prominent. It does start to lean somewhat more masculine in the deep dry down, but it takes a few hours before reaching that point. Overall, the notes that come through the most prominent on me are the coconut water, pineapple, frangipani, driftwood, and moss. This isn’t like the Sun tan lotion like scents that I usually gravitate towards in this category, but one that’s more tropical, fruity, juicy, and woody. It does somewhat bring to mind sipping a piña colada on a tropical beach. This one wasn’t a love at first sniff for me, but after giving it a few chances it really grew on me, and has become something that I’m really happy to have as a part of my collection. I don’t love the deep dry down, but since it takes a few hours before reaching it, I just touch it up whenever I feel like it needs refreshing. I was originally a bit hesitant about getting this one because I’d never been super blown away with any of the Ellis Brooklyn fragrances that I’d gotten before this one. For reference those are Salt, Myth, Vanilla Milk, Bee, and Sun Fruit, and I do like them (other than Sun Fruit which is actually a dislike for me), but none of them were loves. Miami Nectar is my first love from the Ellis Brooklyn perfumes. I also have some mists now which I really love too... Sand, Vanilla Sin, and Marshmallows! I get good performance with Miami Nectar. The longevity is decent, about 6-7 hours on me. The projection is moderate, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. Its performance is closer to what a body mist is on me, so I do think it’s a little expensive because of that. For a little more reference, I’m a huge fan of beachy/coconut fragrances, and some of my favorites include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Bobbi Brown Beach, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, B&BW Coco Paradise

Beachy, tropical, fresh, green, floral, and woody. I mainly pick up on the coconut water, pineapple, palm leaf, driftwood, and moss. I do get some florals, but they’re subtle and hard to pick out. This is not a sweet or creamy beachy scent like I’m used to. It has a kind of subtle sweetness to it most likely from the pineapple and maybe somewhat from the coconut water and florals. I feel like this is a more fresh, green, and kind of natural/earthy smelling fragrance with some beachy elements. It even seems to lean a little masculine, especially after the dry down. The coconut water and pineapple are still there, but the moss and woody notes become a lot more prominent. Overall though I am still finding this to be a pretty fragrance! I’d been really wanting to try Miami Nectar ever since it was released. However, I was a bit hesitant because I haven’t ever been really impressed by any of the Ellis Brooklyn perfumes that I have tried. Those include: Salt, Myth, Vanilla Milk, Bee, and Sun Fruit. They’re not bad (except for Sun Fruit, I actually disliked that one), but they’re more just ok to me. I do have the Sand body mist and I do really like that one! It’s still my favorite, even after finally getting Miami Nectar. All of these were blind buys... a set of 4 mini bottles, an individual mini bottle, the body mist, and now this travel spray. I’m not sure if I would repurchase any of them other than Sand. Overall, I’m feeling like Miami Nectar is just ok, but I am going to keep trying it to see if I’ll feel differently about it. I may try adding some Nest Madagascar Vanilla perfume oil with it to see if that makes it more appealing to my tastes. It’s funny because Miami Nectar has been talked about a lot and recommended a lot in the FB fragrance groups that I’m in. It’s been getting more and more hyped up. I didn’t go for it because of the hype, but because I really enjoy beachy/coconut fragrances. I get decent performance with Miami Nectar. It lasts probably 5-6 hours on me and projects out about an arm’s length. Just for additional reference the beachy fragrances that I love the most are: Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, and Bobbi Brown Beach

Tropical fruity floral, sweet scent, mouthwatering delicious, with a slightly woody dry down. The coconut, pineapple combo hits as soon as you spray on skin. Done in a very fresh, bright, light, gourmand way, with a perfect balance between the two exotic fruits. Then, as times goes and the fragrance settles down on the skin, the floral heart notes: frangipani and jasmine shine as much as the fruits from the top. As mentioned in the beginning, the base notes features intensely woody facets of amberwood and driftwood plus a very creamy, sweet custard like vanilla. Miami Nectar is at its core a delectable tropical fruity floral but has some complexity, thanks to the green accents offered by palm leaf, a minor marine, aquatic accord given by driftwood and a warm, ambery feel thanks to the amberwood. It is the first scent I am trying from Ellis Brooklyn and I adore it. Smells unbelievable delicious, fruity, juicy, exotic, warm, creamy, floral, vanillic and as a holiday fragrance, Miami Nectar thicks all the boxes. If you’re going anywhere warm and tropical destination, this perfume is perfection. This harmonious, exotic blend beautifully evokes Mediterranean or Australian scenic beauty. If I wouldn’t have known that Ellis Brooklyn is a North American brand, I would’ve guessed that it’s coming from somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere. The performance is not mind blowing but lasts for about four hours on skin with a minimal radiance. People around will probably not be able to smell your perfume, but you know you smell amazing! Considering that, value for money is not great with this, not going to sugarcoat the truth. Ellis Brooklyn fragrances are on the expensive side, but maybe bought during sales season worth the investment. I’ve bought a travel size of this scent during a sale, because I was curious about it after hearing so many glowing reviews on social media. The bottle is striking, classic but bright and fun, with that turquoise shade, contrasted with a super white cap. Personally, makes me think of Greece and their endless, beautiful beaches and crystal clear water!

✨UPDATE✨ From my review I posted yesterday - I gave this a second chance and I’m sooo glad that I did! I did try this again without having 4 other perfumes sprayed on different spots which obviously interfered with my interpretation of this one because it was the one I had tried last. The opening is so beautiful! It’s sweet, tropical, fresh, juicy, and green with coconut water, sweet and juicy pineapple, and fresh and green palm leaf! I could pick up on a bit more florals than before, but I could only really identify the frangipani. I also got just a hint of vanilla and the other base notes of amberwood, driftwood, and moss. It’s not until after the dry down that those start becoming more prominent and then it starts becoming somewhat masculine leaning on me, but it takes several hours before it gets to that. I’m so happy that I gave it a second chance, I had missed just how lovely it really is for the first few hours! I think I’ll just have to reapply throughout the day, but I’m definitely a lot happier with it now! I can finally say that I found an Ellis Brooklyn perfume that really impressed me! I definitely understand why it’s getting so much hype! I hope this reminds everyone that sometimes it’s really worth it to give a fragrance that you may not have initially loved a second chance because you might end up being very pleasantly surprised!

I am generally a fan of tropical and/or coconut scents in summertime so I was interested in this from EB. This is definitely coconut and definitely tropical, without a screechy sunscreen vibe that a lot of people find unpleasant. There are white florals but they are not heavy or forefront, they are fresh and subtly sweet. Not as sunscreeny as MM Replica Beach Walk, Bobbi Brown Beach, or Tom Ford Soliel Blanc. The coconut is fresh and watery, not creamy or milky or toasty, also not bitter or salty like some coconut water notes. Pineapple is sweet and juicy, not pungent or over ripe. The thing that makes this special is the palm which lends a welcome greenness and freshness. It brings out the aquatic undertones and keeps this from feeling heavy and syrupy. If you were to compare this to a B&BW scent (I don't think that's really negative or positive), it would be the Coconut Leaves candle with a swirl of Beach. Overall, pleasantly surprised. I enjoy this light and refreshing take on a beachy summertime scent that isn't too heavy on the sunscreen feel. Definitely beachy but it's blue skies, white sand, and a nice breeze - not a suffocating sticky uncomfortable humid day. Lasting power is good as well, sticks around on clothes through to the next day.

Damn THIS ONE IS GOOD, and this isn’t an exaggeration. I understand why it’s sold out at Mecca. IT’S FRUITY IT’S FRESH, ITS EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN A PERFUME THAT’S PERFECT FOR SUMMER. IF IT WASENT SO EXPENSIVE I WOULD BUY THE FULL SIZE BOTTLE 😭😩 $183 for 50ml is ridiculous. Like I would understand if it was at least 100ml 😤 SMELL: I smell a lot of the coconut water, it smells fresh refreshing. I also get the pineapple in this one which makes it smell so fruity. There is florals listed in here which balances well with the other notes. I’m glad the floral notes aren’t strong though and I find it mainly smells fruity then floral. For some reason I don’t know but I smell banana in this even though that’s not listed in the notes. The smell of the banana is ripe and sweet. 🍌 I’m glad I’m not the only as I’ve seen other people say it smells like bananas! Smells like: Coconut water that has a fruity sweet banana smell to it with a tiny bit of white florals to it. I smelt all of the perfumes from Ellis Brooklyn line in Mecca and the only ones I liked was Miami Nectar & Sand. Score: 10/10 - best fruity fragrance 🔥🔥🔥 UNISEX? I SAW someone say it leans masculine??! It does not smell masculine at all. It’s a very feminine fragrance.

Opens with a burst of pineapple, frangipani, and coconut and mellows out quickly.. I love that it reads a little aquatic! It helps keep the scent lighter and fresher ^^/ Dries down into a creamy/syrupy pineapple, vanilla and coconut water *and* it doesn't have that "sunscreen" smell! This is more like a fruity, tropical drink (and I love that about it~) The amber still gives it some warmth, which is something I look for in a summer scent (I want to evoke that "sunbaked skin" feeling without going salty, and usually like citrus and vanilla scents for warm months) It lasts well on me, maybe about half a day? But that works for me, as its more of a daytime scent than nighttime lol I could wear this every day during the summer, but I have a little collection of similar scents with enpugh differences to matter to me, and like to change things up ^^/ I def need to get the full size bottle! I don't get any masculinity from this that others have mentioned! On my skin, its definitely feminine and would be *at most* unisex for someone that doesnt might light and sweet scents... I get a hint of wood or musk, but not remotely enough to tip the scale masc

If you like piña coladas...you’ll love this. Like a few comments have already said...upon initial spray, Miami Nectar is very much Bath and Body works body spray. I was ready to return it to Sephora very quickly for that reason, however, I let it dry down and my mind immediately changed. The opening is bright and sweet. The pink pineapple is VERY juicy and the coconut water adds a refreshing touch. The dry down is where this scent shines. The pineapple tones down a bit and blends with the wood notes and vanilla which adds warmth and slight creaminess. To my nose, the floral notes pop out the more it dries. Ellis Brooklyn answered the call for those wanting a tropical scent but is fed up with the completely overdone yellow floral and coconut combo that smells like sunscreen. It’s a different take on this type of scent profile. This is a daytime scent but it’s seductive enough to be worn on a hot summer night. It’s not a big projector, I got about 4 hours on skin but on clothes...surprisingly, I could still smell it the next day. I really enjoy this...far more than I thought I would. This is a super easy reach for summer.

Imagine wearing a tropical and aquatic scent. You hug your boyfriend, and his cologne sticks to you and mixes with your perfume. That is Miami Nectar. I know some reviewers don’t like the masculine dry down but I love that it smells like ax body spray in the best way possible. The palm leaf in this reminds me of Victoria Secret’s Bombshell Escape. Miami Nectar also reminds me of Kayali Maldives in a bottle but without the rosemary. I love so much about this scent, the projection, the packaging, the bright blue juice. But it does have one big negative, the longevity is four hours minimum. The packaging makes it easy to throw in your purse, so you can reapply on the go, but if longevity is very important for you, you may have an issue with this. I have discovered two dupes. The first is French Connection Friction for her, which has a touch of a spun sugar, BR540 vibe. So I would say it’s an 80% dupe. There is also a dupe you can find in Marshall’s, Indulgent Moments Coconut and Pineapple. Coconut and Pineapple has a lighter body spray consistency, the bottle is very pretty, and it’s a more of a spot on dupe than Friction.

Miami Nectar by Ellis Brooklyn has become one of my absolute favorite perfumes! The pineapple note is bright and juicy, reminiscent of freshly cut fruit, while the coconut adds a creamy, luscious depth without being overpowering. Together, they create a harmonious and refreshing scent that feels both exotic and comforting. I love the photorealistic piña colada scent that this perfume has. It is an instant mood booster for me when I spritz this on myself. I love fruity scents and have for years gravitated towards scents that lean towards piña colada territory, this is the best I have tried hands down. The longevity is decent, with the scent lingering on the skin for 4-6 hours, gradually mellowing into a soft, warm vanilla embrace. I personally don't really pick up much florals or wood in the scent. It's dominated with the pineapple, coconut and vanilla that comes through more and more throughout the dry-down for me. Miami Nectar is a versatile fragrance that works well for both day and night and something I could see myself wearing year round I love it so much.

I bought it blind for my wife last month. She likes fruity, tropical scents for the most part and this one was recommended by me by the sales lady at my local Sephora. The opening is gorgeous with a bright pineapple note. The dry down is tropical, you can pick up some of the notes listed like the coconut water. To me though, this perfume has to have some ambroxan because it is very potent and long lasting. When I hug her, the perfume sticks to my nose, and to clothes for a couple of days. Some have said on here that smells like young man's shower gel. to me, this is not quite right but I would agree that this could easily be a unisex fragrance (not something I would wear at my current 48) perhaps it would suit younger men well. I love it on her and it's her go-to for the hot Canadian summer. I'm happy with it as long as she's happy.

I just bought this for my summer vacation scent and it’s perfect! Beach scent all the way nothing to strong or beast mode! Is this groundbreaking no! It’s not the first of its kind, with that being said it’s still nice and perfect for summer. This a coconut pineapple on me with florals in the mix. Longevity is not the best but doable for summer! this takes a few sprays all over! Sillage is good, some one complimented me in the supermarket today! Like I said this is just a beautiful summer swimsuit, night out scent! Price is on par with all the price jacks that have happened in the past year! So sad!

My sephora had this out early so I was excited to grab it! By the notes it seemed like it would be a really good tropical scent. It is! I am not sure that it is super different from other sunscreen beachy scents, but I do think the longevity on this is honestly pretty good. I sprayed this on my jacket sleeve and I could still smell it the next day, I had done the same with the new killian that is also gives the same vibes and it didn't last very long. I do feel like on the skin it didn't last as long, but I think it was a me problem. It is a really good option for a sunscreen beachy vibe perfume.

This is a really interesting take on a perfume called “Miami nectar” I was picturing a very citrusy orange scent when I blind bought it (I’ve blind bought several from this brand and there’s none that I done love so far) but rather than a citrus scent I find it much more a sweet/tropical and it’s beautiful. It’s got some depth to it to make it still a viable option for cooler weather too. It’s really beautiful and wears well, projection is great and it does hang out well on the skin. Great blind buy and absolutely worth the price for the travel spray! The full size however are over priced

Ellis Brooklyn fragrances are well overpriced for what they are, but I do really enjoy this scent. It is tropical but of a body spray type of fragrance. I do love it though as tropical vibes are my jam! I spray like 20 sprays and love my own scent bubble. The longevity is there but only as a skin scent, you do need to spray your hair and get a bit on your clothing and then you should be satisfied. I can smell all the notes at different times and I enjoy the journey on a hot tropical day in summer.

This is my favourite cocktail - a creamy piña colada - in perfume form, and I’m obsessed. 🍍🥥 Unlike those cheap pineapple and coconut body sprays that can smell synthetic and screechy, this one is beautifully blended and feels so much more elevated. It instantly transports me to a tropical holiday, piña colada in hand, with my biggest problem being whether to order another one or a Mojito. It’s fruity, juicy, creamy, delicious and ridiculously fun to wear. Basically, sunshine in a bottle. LOVE!

The Coconut and Pineapple are holding on as time goes on, which I am very excited about. I am getting Creamy, Beachy, Pineapple, and Coconut. I cannot wait to layer this with Sunfruit to see what happens! This was a blind buy, and I have no regrets. I ordered this yesterday, and it was delivered today, which is pretty amazing on it's own. I do like this better as it ages on my clothes/hair, rather than on my skin. On my skin, it is losing a bit of the sweetness, but it is still really nice.

I thought the reviews on this one was all hype, but the hype is justified...it smells like a vacation in a bottle. It's also pineapple and coconut, 50/50, which is perfect. Nothing complex, not a body splash or body spray by any means. I get EDP concentrated performance, which equates to 5-6 hrs of wear, average/arm length sillage, and 6/10 projection. This is a refreshing pina colada, on a Caribbean beach. Ellis Brooklyn People, I need a 100ml! It's good-good 🤗

i loooove this perfume so much!! i was worried it was gonna be too much like a pina colada but i think the frangipani takes it to a more tropical floral vibe. i don’t think any of the ellis brooklyn fragrances have good projection or longevity so this one’s no different. but im okay reapplying during the day. this is an easy to wear and non offensive fragrance. i dont know if this would get compliments but i like to wear it as a pick me up :’) overall 8/10 🌺🥥🌴🐚

i just got a sample today, and oh my god. this is divine. the most heavenly pineapple and coconut. it has such a cool, breezy aura to it. i smelt it and angels started singing. i cannot stop sniffing my arm. i have never wanted a full bottle of perfume more ahhhhhhhhhh. my only problem is that the beautifully sour and juicy pineapple opening fades which is a bit sad for me, but overall a wonderful perfume and i can’t wait to get my hands on a bottle.
