Violet/grape chewing gum, then Brylcreem/Vitalis. No.

I was given a sample recently, and whilst I have sniffed the contents, today is the first occasion I’ve applied it. And, this is like household cleaner. All I can hear in my head is: “Do the shake’n vac, and put the freshness back…” Pretty unpleasant if I’m honest. And thoroughly out of character for this venerable perfume house.

This is pretty strong stuff, not particularly refreshing, and I don’t get the link to the Isle of Skye. Smells much like a classical barbershop (that’s right, the shop itself!) – to the point you could be mistaken for a barber when wearing this. That’s not to say that it’s no good; just don’t buy it blindly.

Skye is like Smarties at first (American tiny sour candy version, not British), with a sourness on top of slightly musty florals…I guess this is their attempt to reconcile modern soapy aquatics with a Marlborough or EdC type, as others have speculated. The problem is that something in there is giving it a chemical, household-cleaner vibe, or maybe a touch of bug spray. That starts to dissipate, leaving more soapy citrus; amusingly similar to the top notes of Gendarme Sky. Objectively, it’s very powdery, but for some reason that doesn’t bother me here. Still, the over-sugared powderiness evokes an abstraction of gummy candies. Its strangeness intrigues me. If Portugal stole the top notes of Habit Rouge, this one may have stolen the base!

Got two samples of this so I give it a few shots before making up my mind after the initial bust of repulsion I felt upon first smelling it!
I love the bottle design… it’s elegant! I love the name… Skye… what could be a more perfect name for a summer fragrance… it’s even blue!! And a pretty soft pale blue at that!!
Alas why do I smell like I’ve just smeared myself with BRYLCREEM Original hair product. This scent makes me think of an older gentleman with greasy hair! I won’t be buying a bottle of it anytime soon!!!

I love this one, I wear this and I am a woman. I would say this is a unisex fragrance. It is soft, and whimsical. And you can expect magick to occur when you wear this scent from another world!
It is sent from another world!

A fresh powdery scent that is strong and light at the same time. Very different from other fougeres I have tested. This is a perfume fitted for both women and men.
I actually tought Skye had some lemony notes at the top, for a moment it reminded me of toilet wash and citronella candles. But now I can smell the musk, ylang ylang and something a bit flowery.
After a couple of hours the strong powderyness became too much. It did neither dry nore calm down. And it is really hard to wash off!
