My Great grandfather-in law came from the Orkney Island...ohhhh, how could i say no? Glad i caved in and got a bottle!(unsniffed!)
Upon wearing Selkie my nose detects an aquatic, chypre green, floral, and hint of sweet something(watermelon-ish) in the air. All at once or none at all when the oil is reacting to my body chemistry(talk about "shapeshifter" in a perfume!).. I can smell every notes in the blend and then nothing(and no, my nose is working fine today!)….. Do you know aquatic scents are my nemesis? Not here. The scent of the Orkney icy water come crashing in wave after wave while then the honey touched grass come rolling in like a wild shaken willow tree. The scent are there, but for a few seconds they vanished as if I had none on my skin ….and then as if the gods had blown a fierce kiss to the tea-leaved willow tree, along came the merry blends of ocean water, wet green grass, and honey-floral wind…straight to my nose!! Selkie makes me want to weep!!! Tears of joy that is. Should have bought 2 bottles.
