Imagine freshly baked skin, doused with a coating of premium Euro-sunscreen then warmed up by a midday siesta by the beach – and the sensual stirrings of a body in heat.”

No, this is not an excerpt from one of your secret romance novels! ;-) It’s the premise of Bond No. 9 fragrance Fire Island, said to “summoned forth the distinctive spicy-sweet aroma of the most sought-after of vintage Euro-bronzing oils”, and is a “reminder of skin sniffed up close.”

Fire Island is exactly that, it is sweet and spicy, and includes notes of Cardamom, Neroli, White Musk, Skin Musk, Tuberose and Patchouli.

Fire Island was the winner in the 2007 Fragrance of the Year FIFI Award for Men’s Nouveau Niche Category, but I don’t think this is necessarily a men’s fragrance.(In fact I didn’t even know it was one until I found that information on their website! But, thinking about it, I can see imagine this scent on both a man or woman.)

Overall, I love this fragrance – it is perfect for summer. Not too strong that it’s obvious you’re wearing perfume to the beach/pool, yet there is a sexy warm scent lingering somewhere. ;)
