Launched in 2014 by Bond No 9, Shelter Island is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake location with a blend of marine and aromatic notes. The composition opens with lemon and black pepper, creating a fresh yet spicy contrast before transitioning into the heart of white lily and seaweed. The base layers in oud, sandalwood, myrrh, and amber for a warm, enveloping finish that feels both earthy and serene. This fragrance is an ode to the tranquility and natural beauty found on Shelter Island.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to capture both the bright opening and the warm base notes. The marine and citric top notes are fleeting, so allow it time to settle into its woody and aromatic heart for a full experience.
