Details and Care for Ellipsis

Ellipsis Perfume by Derek Lam 10 Crosby is a beautifully composed feminine fragrance that captures the spirit of the modern New York woman. Launched in 2014 as part of the celebrated Derek Lam 10 Crosby fragrance collection, Ellipsis takes its name from the literary symbol of pause and possibility - those three little dots that suggest something more is yet to come. True to its name, this scent leaves a trail of intrigue and elegance that invites the imagination to linger. Derek Lam 10 Crosby, the contemporary diffusion line from renowned fashion designer Derek Lam, was built around the idea of offering luxury fragrance with a modern, wearable edge - and Ellipsis delivers that vision in every spritz.

Ellipsis Perfume opens with a radiant burst of lychee, grapefruit, and bergamot - a bright and juicy welcome that instantly lifts the mood. As the fragrance develops, a lush fullness of jasmine, peony, and rose expresses itself, and the fairy wrap around the girl with romantic, lightly floral bouquet. The transition into the warm, sensual part of musk, sandalwood, and amber also adds a very irresistible depth to the perfume which makes it stay for longer. The whole concept reflects the basic characteristic of this fragrance, which is a soft and sweet floral note that can be worn both in the day and in the night. Be it at the office, a weekend breakfast with friends, or a dinner for two, Derek Lam 10 Crosby's Ellipsis is the ideal kind of signature scent that you can use to create a memorable atmosphere even when you are no longer in the room.
