Fragrances of Ireland is an independent perfume house– with a savvy collection of niche fragrances and body products. Their scents start in all sorts of wonderful places — all based in Ireland. Their best-selling perfume ‘Inis – the energy of the sea’ came to life on a sunny beach in the West of Ireland. Their products are inspired by the magic, beauty and nature of Ireland They seek to share the wonders of Ireland, nature and the spirit of that island. The company wants to introduce you to the premium fragrance and body products that provide a reflection of the best that Ireland has to offer while imparting a bit about the spirit of the Irish people.
They key fragrance, Inis, the energy of the sea, is a tasty representation of a sunny day at the beach in Ireland.
The fragrance consists of top notes of lemon and neroli that give a burst of energy to the wearer. The middle note of lily of valley adds a soft freshness, reminiscent of a sea breeze while the base note of oak moss, sandalwood, nutmeg and cloves add enduring warmth.
InnisFree is another key scent
The scent has been developed by us in collaboration with one of the world’s leading perfume ‘noses’ and includes, at its core, lavender oil distilled by us from our field of lavender in County Wicklow – ‘the Garden of Ireland’. It is a magical fruit and floral fragrance; the top notes are an accord of Lily of the Valley and fruit notes of Peach, Blackcurrant, and Apricot, in conjunction with Lemon, Bergamot and Lavender. The middle notes are an accord of Jasmine, Rose and Iris constructed on a smooth foundation of the base notes of Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Musk. The overall effect of the fragrance is lightness, freshness and youthful zest which develops into a classically elegant and very rich woody floral perfume of great depth and transparency. There can be no better evocation of all the softness, greenness and richness which compose Ireland. It is a celebration of femininity, nature and Ireland
. Inis Or
This is a very unique scent. You can find notes for this one here
Inis Ór is inspired by the energy in the excitement of the anticipation of an evening with loved ones. After a day full of activity, freshening up and heading out in the magical light of a Summer’s evening when the sun cannot seem to tear itself away and knowing there is an evening filled with laughter and fun ahead. This passion for life is emulated in the rich citrus top notes that are given vitality with the fresh green middle notes and the warm sensuality of the spiced earthy woody base notes.
Podcast with Carole Green of Fragrances of Ireland
The sister scent to Inis Energy of the Sea, Inis Moonlight captures the magical feeling of a midnight stroll on a moonlit beach. Top notes of mandarin and water are gently blended with a soft floral heart of peach and jasmine, resting on warm, woody notes of orris and musk.
Patrick— a man’s scent
Patrick Cologne is a rich and daring scent with fresh green notes of fern and pine, warmed with the woody notes of oak moss and patchouli.
Caru is an interesting and unique scent that will be interesting to test out.
CARU is an ancient gaelic word meaning ‘to love’. It has been specially chosen for this rich and heartwarming eau de toilette as it evokes passion and joy.
Inis ARose is exactly what it sounds like!
Inis Arose is inspired by Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, famously depicted in Botticelli’s painting “The Birth of Venus”. As she arose from the sea a shower of roses came down from the heavens as a gift from the gods to mark the re-birth of love, beauty and fertility: and when she stepped onto the island of Cyprus, green grass and spring flowers magically grew up around her.
Inis arose is a beautifully fresh floral perfume conveying a new peace and understanding from Ireland to the world; a fragrance to celebrate the magic of life and love and give everyone fresh new heart, showing perhaps that the real miracle is life itself and how we appreciate this is through love
Another scent is Connemara
Connemara is a floral perfume, based almost exclusively on oils from flowers rather than from fruits or woods, its main ingredients being rose, jasmin, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley and many more. It is inspired by the beauty and majesty of the Connemara countryside, which is home to some of the most breathtaking views of islands, oceans and mountains.
There are a few other scents we haven’t covered but I also didn’t want to bury you in fragrances. One can only try on so many at one time. This niche brand has a great deal to offer and most people are unaware of the brand. What’s cool is that if you find the scent for you from this collection– you will be noticed and you won’t find anyone else wearing it either (unless you are in Ireland!)
Much appreciation to Carole Greene for her time in sharing the beginnings and the best of Fragrances of Ireland. It’s an amazing collection and one you should try!
