Inis Fragrances of Ireland for women and men

Inis is the post "aquatic" hit that grabbed the thunder of that trend. I found it rather linear and enjoyed it. It was nothing to write home over. The ozonic accord grabbed my attention for a moment and that was it. This is not definitive of how Ireland is identified as. Where is the lavender or rose? It lacks any green accord.

I guess I never understood the aquatic trend...

Wonderfully refreshing and reminiscent of the salt water of the Sea...not floral at all, in my opinion...a definite "win"!

This is a nice fresh, clean scent. Putting it on instantly makes you feel cooler during a hot summer. Not sweet at all which is why it is for men and women. I wear it casually - it just feels right with jeans and on the weekends. Wish it was a little longer lasting.

Inis is an "Atlantic aquatic" by any definition. It smells fresh, cold, a little green, a little ozonic, and very clean. It is well made, but other than its reluctantly masculine demeanor, offers little in the way of distinction or excitement. Inis is a fine choice for someone who doesn't care about sillage or longevity, and just wants something nice to wear after a shower. Lost in a league of aquatics, this scent is only worth tracking down if you are a true lover of this genre. Otherwise, you're not really missing anything here.

This is the best aquatic ive ever worn! I have recieved many compliments on this including sexy and summer fresh. I'm looking forward to trying it in the winter as well. My summers are overbearingly hot, but it worked perfectly. It reminds me of waking to fresh salty ocean air, sitting on
beach front with the wind blowing on your face.

Very fresh and crisp, as others have mentioned, however this is a little too much on the spicy side for me and ends up, on my skin, smelling like Issey Miyake for men! - a good alternative if that's what your looking for but not for me.

Okay as much as I liked it for its freshness, crispiness and strength I just could not get used to its strong manly (kinda spicy) notes like for example nutmeg. I am not an expert yet to go into details like each note. Anyway, I had to give it to my husband. I still think it is a great perfume and I am sure it suits some women too but not me.

I love this scent though I was disappointed at first about the 'strongish' manly side of it. However when I put it on me and waited a little time or rather adjusted to it. It puts me in a fresh, energized mood as if I was at the sea or something like that. It just makes me feel good to have it on me. And it lasts that it is an other positive side of it. I used a lot Cool Water from Davidoff but that is not this strong and surely does not last as well, at least on me. For me this scent is my new "Cool Water" or rather my 'Cool Sea'.

Such a well done, oceanic-citrus-chypre; a group that I normally avoid, let alone find a blend that piques my interest. "Inis" opens on a seawater burst of aquatic, salty and mossy-leathery sweetness, evoking all briskness of a day spent by the sea; fresh, salty air, the dried ghosts of driftwood, rolling beads of sand and beaming rays of sunshine. Oh, but wait--the sunshine becomes clouded over and we are in the midst of a storm, as "Inis'" wetness becomes deeper and we're caught in a downpour; the waves become wild and dark and the mossiness of the seaweed becomes more prominent. Finally, "Inis" dries-down into a quiet, grey-seeming whisper of freshness with a hint of grey woods. The scent of the sea, yes, but not some tranquil pretty place in the Caribbean---this is the wild, untamed Atlantic or some northern sea where mysteries of the depths are hidden and words like "beach" or "sea" can mean both tranquility and tragedy. A beautiful scent and allow it shares some of the leathery-aquatic qualities of "Eau de Issey", it's quite distinctive. Also, it's vey "zen-like" in the way that it is truly unisex---it does not dictate gender expectation and I've smelled it worn enchantingly on both men and women. You just need to be someone who likes fresh, clean, yet organic-seeming scents.

My signature for a number of years. A beautiful, fresh & somewhat aquatic scent that I love. I actually had people stop me in the street to ask what I was wearing!

I got this perfume as a gift from a friend in UK.
At first I wasn't so impressed when I smelled it because it seemed very strong and manly. But I gave it another shot I started to discover it.
Inis reminds me of the sea breeze.
This is a wonderful, fresh and clean smelling cologne that lasts all day long. There's nothing better for the hot, sweltering days of summer that using this perfume.
When I spray it on myself I feel as if I just stepped out of the shower.
If you love the ocean and the smell of sea salt spray you will love this.
Also I have a little tip for you guys: if you spray a little on your hair brush, your hair will smell heavenly!

I'm not usually a fan of these types of scents (I wear orientals primarily), but this is a nice change of pace when I'm in the mood for it. If you like fresh/marine scents, this is very well done.

I would love to try all the fragrances from this brand, I like the descriptions!
Will wait with a trembling heart (nose?) for other reviews!!!!!!

A female friend wears Inis and it is very unusual. Very pronounced green citrus and mossy notes. Not oceany or ozonic, as one might expect from the packaging, and no sweetness or floral is detectable at all. It is supposedly unisex, but men can wear this one with 100% confidence that no one will ask them if they're wearing a woman's perfume. I did ask my friend if she was wearing men's cologne when she had this one on, LOL! If you're a confident woman who is tired of the fruity sweet scents, this is a nice alternative. It is a bit hard to find here in the States and you can be sure no one else around you will be wearing it.
