Um... can you steal an island?
Isle Ryder means island robber and sounds strange, but interesting. Either it means that you raid islands, whereupon you would be a pirate or something (which would be less adventurous and romantic in real life than in the "Pirates of the Caribbean"), or that you steal whole islands,... however that should work :D
But to steal such an own island, um, I thought I had of course, only for myself, where one can completely detach oneself from all others (yes, among other things also from you perfumes!), that would be something. In the long run certainly boring for long term stays, but as a home with a fast connection to the mainland certainly a dream (and of course with fast connection to the Internet...! No one needs to deny that. 30 years ago this would have been imaginable if someone had said that he would like to retreat to the mountains or to a lonely island, but today you are already biting the grass, you should be "only" 48 hours on Internet withdrawal, or you go insane if it fails for 10 minutes!!).
But enough stupid talk, as always... I finally come to the scent!
But I'm not so sure about the watery one, so I guess meadowsweet (I really have to see what it is!), because I can exclude the other flowery notes. Fir trees are also present, the resinous woody scent of these great trees smells wonderful as always, but the flowery scents will soon be a little stronger again.
In the fragrance pyramid there is also woodruff, and I have to say that I had been looking forward to this note the most, because I love woodruff, but unfortunately you can't smell this out here, at least not me.
Later in the base, the fragrance continues to smell of woody pines and floral notes with a slight sweetness of jasmine. That's a nice smell.
Okay, so the smell doesn't smell like an island to me. Cause I'd expect a more exotic scent for that. But it still smells very nice with floral and woody notes. All this mixed with a beautiful, flowery sweetness. But because of the flowers and the sweet notes he smells a little feminine as unisex.
Although the fragrance is not soo special now (since one has sniffed out such similar scents often times, especially in the mainstream area, but the mainstreams are mostly sweeter), but it belongs to the better scents of D.S. & Durga for me and is therefore worth a look or smell. Weak for going out, but still suitable from the smell (you can spray yourself again if necessary). Of course, it is also very suitable for daily use, and best of all on warm days.
Hmm... ah yes, my own island... To be honest, it has always been my dream (one of those rather unrealizable dreams :D) to own my own island:D Where I can breed dinosaurs and such...hm, I think I've seen too much Jurassic Park and now that there are new movies of it lately, this passion has flared up again, just like back in the 90s when the first movie was released and I wanted to become a paleontologist (yes, you can already make sense of it): With Indiana Jones I wanted to become an archaeologist :D).
Don't laugh...! You know I'm a little childish anyway :D
So, enough nonsense talked,... as I said the smell is beautiful and worth a look.
And I wish you all a nice evening and a nice beginning of the week, see you soon :)

The fragrance:
At the beginning I smell flowery notes, which smell a little sweet and also diluted, or like flower water from florists, as I sometimes describe it here. Anyway, it's a pleasant, beautiful floral scent. I can assign the sweetish one to the jasmine, I know this note meanwhile somewhat well, as far as flower smells concern :DBut I'm not so sure about the watery one, so I guess meadowsweet (I really have to see what it is!), because I can exclude the other flowery notes.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
In the beginning, the fragrance is still fairly strong, but it quickly wears off and, like most fragrances from D.S. & Durga, becomes rather average, which you cannot smell at a greater distance. The shelf life is quite good, because you can still smell the scent on your skin after more than eight hours. The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and filled with orange scented liquid. On the front there is a label with the name of the fragrance and also with the inscription 'Hylnds', since that is a particular series of fragrances within that mark and there are therefore several Hylnds fragrances. Without the big black lid, the bottle would look even simpler than usual.Okay, so the smell doesn't smell like an island to me. Cause I'd expect a more exotic scent for that.
