Skye

This is pretty strong stuff, not particularly refreshing, and I don't get the link to the Isle of Skye. Longevity is disappointing for an EDT - I get a maximum of 3 hours and then nothing. Smells much like a classical barbershop (that's right, the shop itself!) - to the point you could be mistaken for a barber when wearing this. That's not to say that it's no good; just don't buy it blindly. UPDATE: This perfume grows on you steadily. It's smooth, clean, creamy and unique. An enjoyable fragrance indeed, and one of the best out there. Period.

I love this one, I wear this and I am a woman. I would say this is a unisex fragrance. It is soft, and whimsical. And you can expect magick to occur when you wear this scent from another world! It is sent from another world!

Skye is like Smarties at first (American tiny sour candy version, not British), with a sourness on top of slightly musty florals...I guess this is their attempt to reconcile modern soapy aquatics with a Marlborough or EdC type, as others have speculated. The problem is that something in there is giving it a chemical, household-cleaner vibe, or maybe a touch of bug spray. That starts to dissipate, leaving more soapy citrus; amusingly similar to the top notes of Gendarme Sky. Objectively, it's very powdery, but for some reason that doesn't bother me here. Still, the over-sugared powderiness evokes an abstraction of gummy candies. Its strangeness intrigues me. If Portugal stole the top notes of Habit Rouge, this one may have stolen the base!

Fresh soapy musky lavender barbershop. Typical old school English silky vibes. I know lavender is not in the notes, but I get what seems like wafts of it. Like it and would wear it if I had a full bottle, but not a love. I'll just keep my 12ml decant and wear it every now and then to see if it grows on me. Scent: 7 / Sillage: 7.5 / Longevity: 7

A fresh powdery scent that is strong and light at the same time. Very different from other fougeres I have tested. This is a perfume fitted for both women and men. I actually tought Skye had some lemony notes at the top, for a moment it reminded me of toilet wash and citronella candles. But now I can smell the musk, ylang ylang and something a bit flowery. After a couple of hours the strong powderyness became too much. It did neither dry nore calm down. And it is really hard to wash off!
