Irene Neuwirth

I own the Barneys Greg Lauren exclusive fragrance composed by Ralf Schweiger & think it's one of the best vanilla/gourmand fragrances out there (under the radar with not much hype, but I don't think too many have tried yet). So when I saw Barneys recently released a new exclusive fragrance, teaming up celebrity jeweler Irene Neuwirth with perfumer Ralf Schweiger, I had to try. I was especially intrigued after reading about the composition of notes in this perfume, which sounded like a beautiful scent that I've yet to come across anywhere else. ABOUT THE SCENT... When you first spray this, you get a soft floral note (Jasmine &/or Rose) combined with the citruses (neroli + orange blossom) just in the background giving a very natural beachy/sun tan lotion type of vibe. To me, the floral note is more present at first but is so light that it works in perfect harmony with the citrus notes that eventually come to the forefront & really smooth out the fragrance. The florals give the fragrance a unique femininity & are the driving force of this perfume, giving the lighter beachy accords more projection & longevity. Think the best of Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino & Santal Blush all in one fragrance, but toned down & smoothed out. It's also reminiscent of Bond No. 9 Fire Island, but much more balanced & natural (in my opinion)... does not smell synthetic at all. Overall, this is another home run for Barneys & Ralf Schwieger. With the warmer seasons approaching, this fragrance should be the "Scent of the 2014 Summer" but in all reality, not too many shop at Barneys nor can afford a niche fragrance as this lol. The scent is just everything a woman should want to smell like & want to do: sitting on a sunny beach with your feet buried in the sand while drinking a pina coloda with a small bouquet of flowers on the table next to your lounge chair & a light breeze comes along picking up all the different scents to form one heavenly breath of fresh air.

I like a lot of floral aquatics and this is one of them. I think it has a touch of vanilla so it does not go too aquatic. I live in a hot humid climate and this works well. lots of fresh jasmine and neroli dancing in sand. honestly I don't think I smell the sand but I feel like putting my feet in sand when I wear it. Beachy and lastly I got it for a steal at barneys warehouse so it will probably be gone soon.

Oh yeah, this is the ultimate resort vacation scent. It definitely has that sand and suntan lotion vibe happening but enough sheer white florals to keep it light and lovely. A rich woman lounging in a beach chair wearing jasmine perfume and behind her is the smell of a plumeria tree

Is this still available? I can't seem to find it and sure am interested.
