Sea. Calm, choppy, rough, stormy, serene. The sea evokes different kinds of emotions in different people. For me the sea represents all sorts of feelings - thrill, calmness, excitement, relaxation, wonder and above all energy. And today I bring to you a product that embodies this very essence of the sea; Inis - The Energy of the Sea, an authentically Irish unisex cologne.
One of the best-selling scents from the independent perfume house 'Fragrances of Ireland', Inis(means ‘island’ in Irish) is a clean unisex fragrance that captures the coolness, clarity and purity of the ocean in a bottle. The fragrance draws inspiration from the beauty and energy of the wild western coast of Ireland. Before I tell you my views on the fragrance let me share some information about the packaging and fragrance notes.
Fragrance Notes
Top Notes - Neroli, Sicilian Lemon, Bergamot and traces of Marine Notes.
Middle Notes - Geranium and Lily of the Valley.
Bottom Notes - Cloves, Nutmeg, Sandalwood, Oak Moss and Musk.
The packaging is simplistic yet eye catching. The outer carton uses a blue on white combination. The bottle is a simple frosted one while the cap looks like a piece of sculpture! The cap also appears like a smooth pebble albeit a glass one. A lot of thinking seems to have gone into the design of the packaging as the colour and shape aptly relate to the sea. I like it. But what about the actual fragrance? How does that fare? Read on.
When I first tried Inis, I felt a cold, fresh and sharp fragrance. It felt like I was near a cold sea. The fragrance starts off with an aquatic, citrusy and airy vibe to it(a bit masculine) and settles into a mildly spicy note, still retaining its marine and freshness factor though. It is a very refreshing and crisp scent that stays true to its aquatic theme. If you are a lover of floral fragrances, you may find this a little strong. But if you give it a try, you will discover a lovely fragrance. You just need one tiny little spritz of Inis to enjoy it. I love it. I am also very happy with its staying power. It lasts a good 9-10 hours on me. Mr.H also tried Inis and he likes it too. According to him Inis is a wonderfully fresh and clean smelling cologne that lasts all day long.
To sum it up, Inis 'The Energy of the Sea':
- is a refreshing aquatic scent that represents the strength and energy of the sea,
- is an unisex fragrance,
- is not overly masculine nor too sweet,
- has good staying power,
- needs to be used sparingly,
- is a fresh & fragrant scent that always makes an impression.
Inis is available in 3 sizes: 30ml(£19.95), 50ml(24.95) and 100ml(£29.95) and can be picked up online on the Fragrances of Ireland website.
