Inis Perfume

Inis - The Energy of the Sea Cologne Spray 3.3 fl oz — Inis – The Energy of the Sea Cologne Spray 3.3 fl oz

A sparkling, clean unisex fragrance that captures the coolness, clarity and purity of the ocean, Inis the Energy of the Sea is a favorite around the world. Inspired by the beauty and energy of the wild western coast of Ireland, Inis (the word means ‘island’ in Irish) instantly refreshes and brings a happy feeling.

”Fresh, clean and energizing, top notes of lemon and marine bring a fresh feeling, like sunshine on your face, heart notes of lily of the valley are like a soft summer breeze on your body, while base notes of sandalwood and clove give an earthy warmth like sand between your toes”

In this blog we explore what makes this unisex perfume so popular at our store, and the origins of the scent itself, its inspiration from the gorgeous County Wicklow from Ireland and how a small company working from a converted barn near the beach in Ireland came to create one of the most popular Irish Perfumes in the world.

Inis the Energy of the Sea Cologne Spray 1 fl oz

County Wicklow – Where it all Started

For over thirty years, the company Fragrances of Ireland have been creating perfumes and toiletries inspired by the magic, beauty and nature of Ireland. Independent and passionate, they operate from a converted farmhouse in County Wicklow.

Thier signature scent – Inis the Energy of the Sea – was inspired at Roundstone Beach on the western coast of Ireland. Inis is the Irish word for ‘island’. A truly unique, discovery fragrance – people say the scent of Inis makes them feel close to the sea, no matter where they are.

Inis Perfume – The Bottle and the Fragrance

We take a closer look here in a video we recorded recently.

Inis Cologne is still an Irish best seller 10 years after it’s launch. From Fragrances of Ireland, Inis is inspired by the energy and purity of the sea, the wild Atlantic of Ireland’s west coast. Notes of citrus, lily of the valley, sandalwood and oak moss, to name but a few, combine to give a cool seductive scent. Beautifully presented in a frosted bottle with a specially sculpted cap by Ateliiers Dinand of Paris, it’s suitable for both men and women. The perfect Irish gift for her or him.

A complimentary range of products with one famous scent

The Energy of the Sea scent can also be found in its body lotion, hand lotion, and hand wash. If you’d like to bring the sea into your home, try the home diffuser or new Energy of the Sea candles. The Fragrances of Ireland and Garden of Ireland products have become instant classics in their own right as well with rich lavishing vegetable oil bar soaps in scents like Sweet Lavender and Morning Rose.

I’m not a man but I get compliments from men and women alike. I am very sensitive to fragrances and when I came upon this about 8 years ago during a home shopping shows month of March Irish products show I ordered it and I have never worn anything else since. It’s unisex and it’s light, fresh and wonderful.

By OnlineShopper on December 5, 2017

By patsy on February 12, 2016

My daughter has worn this fragrance for the second year in a row and I see her at the end of workdays – and I still catch the fresh scent
By Pen Name on February 5, 2016

I believe it depends on the person, just like all fragrances smell different on different people, Inis on me lasts all day, i get a lot of complements from women that like it & want to buy it for their husbands. I gave my granddaughters boyfriend one for Christmas & my granddaughter says it smells like the ocean, i said thats what it supposed to smell like, lol. I am 65 & always lived by the ocean. Even my nieces want to know why i always smell good. Once a day unless i’m going out at night.
By Al Gill on February 9, 2016

The scent of Inis lasts fifteen minutes for the one I purchased through Amazon and that required at least two heavy applications. For the one that I purchased at a local perfume merchant, about four – six hours. Inis is lovely and I have been using it for years. I usually get a lot of compliments from women.
By commerce555 on February 5, 2016

This is an amazing sent! My gal is Irish & I don’t know how it works with anyone else’s chemistry. However, what i can tell you is when she puts it on in the morning and leaves for work, it drives me absolutely wild! And it last all day and well into the evening. I love being able to still smell it on her.
By T. on February 5, 2016

Q.Is this for a Woman ?

They say it is for male or female, I found it to be very strong. It actually smelled better if I sprayed some on before I took a shower to tone it down a bit.
By Dedra McCallister on May 15, 2018

Its unisex
By Anon on May 15, 2018

It’s actually for both men and women
By Peggy Hovis on May 22, 2018

I found this fragrance and it smells exactly like my old perfume that was Caroline Herrera. I have yet to find the cologne for women (CH) anywhere. They still sell the CH for men, but I couldn’t find the women’s fragrance anywhere.
By gmbrown on October 17, 2018

Absolutely yes! Plus, I receive compliments all the time from both men and women.. It is now my “go to” fragrance. I love it!
By Shirley Brough on May 15, 2018

I would consider this a scent for women. However, it is not a flowery or truly feminine scent so I suppose it could be consider “unisex” for some.
By Donna L. Dalton on May 15, 2018

Q. Is this for a man or woman ?

A. Awesome for both!

Anon May 25, 2017

Both. It’s actually unisex. I’m a female & I wear it. I love how smells.
Christina K. · May 24, 2017

Unisex
Lulu · May 24, 2017

It can be for either. It’s a soft fresh scent, not flowery.
Tink61 · May 24, 2017

I have heard both but I feel it is more for women. It is one of my favorites.
michele l palumbo · May 25, 2017

Inis is marketed to both men and women, however the overwhelming majority of our customers who buy it are women. It is probably the most popular fragrance made on the island of Ireland.

Anon May 30, 2017

It is a clean fragrance a man could probably wear it but I would lean towards more for a woman

Innisfree – Eau de Parfum Spray 1.7 fl oz

The perfume, through a beautiful representation of Ireland, encapsulates and mirrors the unique emotional experience that is in the W.B.Yeats poem “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” (a copy is found inside the carton). This could be explained as follows: In a world that is so uncertain and dramatically changing, that which means something is increasingly important to people. To listen to our hearts, to realise what is really meaningful is very compelling (see final line of poem embossed on the heart-shaped bottle).

INNISFREE – THE ESSENCE OF IRELAND 1.7 OZ EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

W. B. Yeats, 1865 – 1939

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

The Isle of Innisfree is an uninhabited island within Lough Gill, in County Sligo, Ireland, where Yeats spent his summers as a child. Yeats describes the inspiration for the poem coming from a “sudden” memory of his childhood while walking down Fleet Street in London in 1888. He writes, “I had still the ambition, formed in Sligo in my teens, of living in imitation of Thoreau on Innisfree, a little island in Lough Gill, and when walking through Fleet Street very homesick I heard a little tinkle of water and saw a fountain in a shop-window which balanced a little ball upon its jet, and began to remember lake water. From the sudden remembrance came my poem “Innisfree,” my first lyric with anything in its rhythm of my own music.

Connemara Perfume 1.7 fl oz

The beauty and majesty!

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.

It features a design from the Book of Kells which is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was created in a Columban monastery in either Britain or Ireland and may have had contributions from various Columban institutions from both Britain and Ireland. It is believed to have been created c. 800 AD. The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from the Vulgate, although it also includes several passages drawn from the earlier versions of the Bible known as the Vetus Latina. It is a masterwork of Western calligraphy and represents the pinnacle of Insular illumination. It is also widely regarded as Ireland’s finest national treasure.

Connemara is a cultural region in County Galway, Ireland. The area has a strong association with traditional Irish culture and contains a major part of the Connacht Irish-speaking Gaeltacht, which is a key part of the identity of the region and is the largest Gaeltacht in the country.

Hibernia Celtic Charm – Eau de Toilette 1.7 fl oz

This is the fragrance for a woman who embodies the Celtic sense of welcoming. She is a loyal woman with a warm, kind heart who values family and friends above all else. This elegant, floral fragrance delicately blends the powdery notes of jasmine with rose & soft white petals, on a subtle base of vanilla & sandalwood.

Hibernia is the Classical Latin name for the island of Ireland. The name Hibernia was taken from Greek geographical accounts. During his exploration of northwest Europe (c. 320 BC), Pytheas of Massilia called the island Iérnē (written Ἰέρνη). In his book Geographia (c. 150 AD), Claudius Ptolemaeus (“Ptolemy”) called the island Iouerníā (written Ἰουερνία, where “ου”/ou stands for w). The Roman historian Tacitus, in his book Agricola (c. 98 AD), uses the name Hibernia.

Ἰουερνία Iouerníā was a Greek rendering of the Q-Celtic name *Īweriū, from which eventually arose the Irish names Ériu and Éire. The name was altered in Latin (influenced by the word hibernus) as though it meant “land of winter”.

For centuries Celtic people have been known for their warm friendly charm, their spirit of adventure and their creative passion. This is part of an exciting range of fragrances that capture the different aspects of the Celtic character.

Fragrance designer Alison Banton lives in Greystones in County Wicklow in Ireland, a part and region known as ‘The Garden of Ireland’. Her passion to create wonderful fragrances was inspired by the divine scents of the petals she picked as a child in her great Aunts Garden. Mollie used to tell Alison that if she left the rose petals with her and returned in the morning she would have magically turned them into perfume. But overnight the kind old lady would add real perfume to the little girls watery mixture, to make her think she had created the beautiful aroma.
