I checked out the unfamiliar website, with home grown brands and new fragrances galore, I went for it.
Prior to this I'd never smelt a unisex fragrance, and the only one I'd heard of was that of Khloé and Lamar. I could only imagine it working out better for the girl. A girl can get away with wearing more masculine scents, not sure the same can be said about a gentleman wearing pour femme.
I was expecting a fresh scent, with it being named 'energy of the sea', but it is surprisingly musky. It reminded me of Issey Miyake 'Leau Dissey' for man, one of my all time favourite masculine scents, but despite how much I like it, I'm not sure I can get away with wearing it.
For me, the scent just reminds me of a male, so catching the scent on me throughout the day - plus side, it lasts for ages on your skin - just felt a little unnatural.
The bottle is beautifully understated. Frosted glass with 'Inis' defined in the centre, packaged in a seemingly ocean inspired box.
The overall design, scent and feel for me is a clash of two worlds, but both from the wrong side. To me, it's a masculine scent, in a feminine bottle, not sure I'm set on the unisex fragrance world just yet.
Regardless, if your man can take the design, it's a cheap dupe for Issey Miyake. Unisex set or not, it is a beautiful scent.
Inis Cologne Spray is available from Fragrances of Ireland now, starting at £19.95 for 30ml.

This takes me back to my early teen years - I used to love an Inis perfume but can't for the life of me remember what one it was. I may have to hunt it down on their website! :)
ReplyDeletePS...I'm not totally sold on "unisex" scents, think it ends up being more masculine. Though I haven't smelt Khloe and Lamar's one xx
CK1 was the first unisex scent that I have ever heard of or smelled. It is amazing! It has been 15 or so since I was obsessed with it, I may have to bring it back
ReplyDeletesounds like a lovely fragrance i may have to try it!
