Mi Confesión by Mark Buxton: new fragrance and interview
There are perfumers who remain in the shadow of brands. And there are those whose name itself become...
This fragrance has a noticeable, very powerful sillage that can linger in the air for a long time and attract the attention of those around you.
Its character is built around a fresh, floral and fruity profile with a distinctive woody accent.
The name Isle of May evokes the atmosphere of a seaside island exposed to the wind and bright daylight, although the composition itself comes across above all as feminine and romantic.
It combines a lively citrus opening, a soft floral tone and a deeper base.
This contrast makes the fragrance appealing to those who enjoy not only light, fresh compositions but also a pronounced sillage.
At first, the fragrance smells lively and sparkling: the citrus accent gives it a sense of freshness and energy.
As it develops, the composition becomes softer, takes on a rounded floral character and gradually moves toward a richer finish.
On the skin, Isle of May may be especially expressive in warm weather, when fresh and floral notes unfold more freely.
Because of its very powerful sillage, the perfume is best applied with care, especially in small spaces, offices and public transport.
The available data does not specify the exact amount to apply to the skin or clothing, so the number of sprays should be increased gradually, starting with the minimum.
A light application is sufficient for daytime wear, while in the evening the fragrance can reveal itself more dramatically and with greater complexity.
The concentration of Flora and Henri Isle of May is not specified, nor is there any information about other concentrations of this release.
There is also no information about the perfumer who created it, so it is more accurate to assess the composition by its olfactory profile: freshness at the opening, floral softness as it develops, and fruity-woody depth in the sillage.
The fragrance will appeal to admirers of compositions that do not disappear on the skin and leave behind a distinctive impression.
It could be a fitting choice for a walk, a date, a festive occasion or any setting where you want to emphasize your individuality.
In terms of mood, Isle of May can be considered alongside Davidoff Cool Water Woman, as well as Oriflame Midsummer Woman and Molinard Violette.
At the same time, Flora and Henri Isle of May stands out through its combination of very powerful sillage and the contrast between a fresh opening and a deeper base.
Before purchasing, it is advisable to test it on the skin: the intensity and longevity of the fragrance depend on temperature, humidity and individual skin characteristics.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes of Flora and Henri Isle of May open with a combination of lemon and violet.
Lemon gives the composition a fresh, bright and slightly sparkling tone, while violet softens the opening with a powdery floral nuance.
Rose unfolds at the heart, making the fragrance more feminine and rounded.
The base consists of raspberry and vetiver: the fruity accent softens the dry-down, while vetiver adds a dry woody depth.
Overall, the pyramid combines citrus, floral, fruity and woody notes.
