Nantucket Sample

The scent The artist This is a 2 ml spray sample. Find the full bottle here.  If there was a scent that takes you to a place in time the moment you sniff it, this one is it. An aquatic freshie first released in 1995 at the height of the aquatic/sporty scent trend for me, DSH jumped back into this formula 30 years later and elevated the aromatics with materials that weren’t available back then. Brighter citruses are pushed out upon your first encounter, as you feel yourself transported to the summer seaside breezes of Nantucket while you don your crisp linen button-down, madras shorts and tiger eye sunglasses resting easy on the top of your head. A retro-preppy, brightly citrus-aquatic fragrance, we love the big dash of fresh lime mixed in with salt spray, subtle green notes, clean musks, and a deepened ambergris in the base.   Notes include bergamot, lime peel, lime essence, petitgrain, bitter orange, sea spray accord, cotton accord, sandalwood, musk, and ambergris.
