In search of the perfect......
Shelter Island has been with me for quite a while. I have always liked him but sometimes it just needs something to experience the (really) good sides of fragrances or better to smell.
The last few days were blessed with changeable spring weather. Sometimes too cold, sometimes too quickly fiercely warm. Windy and wet dry. It's been everything.
I have, as soon as it has temperatures above 15 degrees, no longer want heavy, sweet, burdensome fragrances. The back then in the closet quickly to the back and the front places take all the bergamot, neroli and other light freshness representatives. You know that certainly ......
But just in such a "today so, tomorrow completely different" weather I am then undecided whether the light midsummer fragrance is enough.
In principle, already out of desperation, I have therefore reached again and again to the Shelter Island. But from desperation became more and more a kind of affection, finding that also fits today the Bond, which already works so great yesterday and has brought me the whole day a nice light breeze around the nose.
Shelter island is for me a perfect balance of fresh aquatic notes, beautiful woods that don't weigh too heavy and a lily that fits in soooo perfectly, almost slightly rose-like.
It is for me no Mediterranean Aquate but rather a robust Atlantic or North Sea breeze, which was captured here. Just not softened but with a strong wind that brings me the salty water to the coast and whose spray sticks in the nose.
It is the blooming coastal area all around with forests and flowers, which combines with the coming from the sea to a finely tuned air-scent mixture and immediately transports me mentally to this place. Sitting on the cliff overlooking the open sea and rustling trees behind me.
And it is this light but still perceptible Oud portion, which makes the fragrance just also for temperatures below 25 degrees for many weeks in the year so great usable.
Shelter Island will certainly never be a mainstream fragrance that gives the basis for umpteen imitators. But that's what I love about fragrances like this. Also times to be different and to be different. And yet wearable and not too much niche.
In short: in my search for the perfect "between seasons" scent, I got stuck with Shelter Island. I will use it certainly still far into the summer often and then also to the autumn, when the golden October brings once again beautiful sunny days.
Who is looking for an independent Aquaten with great endurance, should definitely stop here and test. Maybe you will then find yourself on the cliff and dream into the day again
