Báinín

This is probably my favorite fragrance I’ve worn. I fully agree with Aweso10 about the notes progression. It opens with all the herbaceous and aromatic elements and truly feels like you are in a grassy meadow of sorts. The herbs blend perfectly in this section with the thyme and peppermint being what I personally notice and it is great. The transition to the heart is my favorite, it has a slight juiciness of the pear and black currant along with some of the golden nectary scent of the gorse, all blending perfectly with the herbs from the top. Then as it enters the base it gets warmer with the wool and sandalwood. It is still amazing but my personal favorite section is the transition from the top to the middle notes. This fragrance evolves like the seasons, opening like spring with the herbs, going into summer with the fruit and gorse, fall with the woods, and winter with the woody and wool notes. I’ve never smelled anything like it. This is by far my favorite fragrance I’ve ever worn at the time of this review, especially since I love spring scents and I feel that it perfectly embodies a spring day. The only critique I have of it is that it does not have the best longevity or sillabe. It is slightly underwhelming in that aspect. But the scent is so good I can overlook it. I completely recommend to try this out. I have not regretted it in the slightest.

I bought Báinín during my recent trip to Ireland and have been in love ever since! It is a cozy, honeyed wildflower/green scent- starts off with a surprisingly soft, stemmy neroli and citrus. The aromatics such as sage and thyme come out in the top as well. After the fragrance softens on my skin, I get more of the sweet, nectary notes such as the gorse/broom, pear and blackcurrant. Then, the warm and cozy notes of wool and musk develop, which is probably my favorite aspect of the fragrance. It's simultaneously fresh and comforting- like traipsing through the Irish countryside on a summer day. Sooo well blended and super unisex, my bf wanted to wear it too!

I love this scent, it's different to a lot of other scents and goes through a such an interesting dry down journey. It starts super fresh and green to me, as it continue to linger on my skin there's a depth and richness to the scent that makes it feel full bodied. For me it feels wearable all year round and either day or night. The mix is so well done and has so many unique components that I feel it is very versatile to wear. Love this one!

Beautiful mix of fresh and warm notes. Has a light summery vibe and is quite sweet, but not cloying. The wool note is what makes this fragrance quite unusual and different to my nose. Add something soft and dreamy and warm to the fragrance that makes it feel very cozy like a freshly washed jumper... in the best possible way.

smells like a hike up Sugarloaf or Howth Head during the summer
