Ella K is a new fragrance brand with perfume products that takes inspiration from historic female explorers like Alexandra David-Neel, Karen Blixen and Amelia Earhart. Each one of the brand's fragrances highlights a particular note and invites people to feel transported in place and time. While Poeme De Sagano taps into a bamboo forest near Kyoto, Pluie Sur Ha Long channels the aromas of nature as a "sensual ode to water." In the collection of eight perfume scents, Ella K also explores notes like bergamot, lotus, rose, iris and spider lily.
While each of the perfumes is packaged in an elegant minimalist bottle, the secondary packaging of the products reveals an illustration that helps to hint at the place of origin that inspired the scent.
