Shelter Island
Shelter Island by Bond No. 9 is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. The house lists its notes as citrus notes, black pepper, lily, seaweed, sandalwood, amber, myrrh, musk and oud, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Citrus Notes A mix of citrus peel with no single fruit named.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Lily A big, creamy, slightly spicy white flower. The kind that fills a room.
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
