Ilha do Mel is a sweet, fresh, floral scent created for Men and Women in 2015 by perfumer Alienor Massenet.
Review
This scent is a beautiful, airy, floral scent. A touch of Vanilla lifts a lush floral bouquet where Gardenia is the star of the show. It feels exotic and dreamy, like you’ve finally made it to your dream destination. You step out onto the porch of your villa, you lean against the railing and breath in deep. Your senses are filled with the ocean breeze and aroma of millions of flowers. You have finally reached your paradise. This is your slice of heaven. This is a scent that can be worn to the office, a day out running errands, afternoon brunch or evening cocktails, and can easily be dressed up for formal occasions. It will work well in any season, but is especially great for Spring and Summer. It may become more intimate over the course of the day, but it will last. It has been compared to Amouage Honour Woman and Parfums de Marly Safanad.
Inspiration
Also known as ‘Honey Island’, Ilha do Mel captures dreamy memories of Brazilian islands. Floral landscapes, secret caves, ocean sunsets, and breezes filled with island scents are all unforgettable memories bottled up into paradise.
Notes
Mandarin and Juniper add a tantalizing touch to a floral bouquet of Jasmine, Gardenia, Hyacinth, Broom Flower, Iris, and Orange Blossom. A touch of Vanilla boosts the creamy quality of this mix of flowers, while Vetiver adds a slightly green, slightly warm essence. A final note of Musk adds depth and longevity, as well as a subtle sultry nuance.
