That's how Ireland smells?
Yes, that's how Ireland smells!
Since I am currently testing Irish perfumes for my planned shop, there is no way around the Burren Perfumery. The Burren Perfumery, founded by Brian Mooney, then taken over by Edward Biggs, now belongs to the Chowen family. Sadie came from France to Ireland 25 years ago because of her boyfriend Ralph, with whom she is now married and has two children.
The Burren produces not only perfume but also tea, soap and creams and resides in Carron, County Clare. The Burren is the area in which the company is based. The Burren is a barren landscape, but with a rich flora and fauna and, as the family uses almost exclusively native plants, absolutely suitable.
The name Man of Aran refers either to the islands in County Galway, or to the island, or to the owners of the island of the same name in County Donegal. Until the Middle Ages, the island belonged to the O'Donnell's clan, then, until the great family, the Conyngham family. Maybe next time I should ask the family. Anyway, I was very happy to get a package with the fragrances and two cream samples and yes, all perfumes symbolize our island and are handcrafted very well.
Yuki68 wrote, "like a sea breeze in the grassy dunes." Yes, because Man of Aran represents practically the whole country. The ingredients used are typical of the burren and I don't know if lemon was used but should be checked, although we in the county have exotic plants that you wouldn't expect. Citrus, lichen and moss form a good trio. Lichen and moss can be found everywhere in our country and Irish moss is so popular in the perfume industry worldwide that Sion Motors allegedly also uses Irish moss for their ventilation system, I know that they use moss, but not if it is also Irish.
The Burren describes the fragrance as "Sea Cologne" which I would not sign as such, of course moss and lichen can also be found on the coast, but the tree bark used in the Burren, i.e. in the country. Man of Aran smells herb and is, even if it should be suitable for women and men, a pure eau de toilette for men. This fits Baltimore, Normandy, Brittany or Hamburg, or someone who lives in a cottage on the Countyside. He doesn't live in a terraced house in an estate in Youghal (although you can also have a view of the sea there). Also it does not fit for people who sit at the harbour and watch the sea bears before they go to a pub. Or to the anglers, either those on the shore, or those who join one of the fishing trips, which in our coastal towns are often held in summer and usually drink more beer than fish is caught and seasoned men like small children are happy in the candy shop when they catch a baby mackerel and are immediately photographed by the boat owner for Facebook (white shark caught in the Irish sea).
In winter they either wear a Barbour with an aran sweater underneath or, more likely, a T-shirt.
To answer the question if there are these men in Ireland, then I spontaneously think of my friend Kieran. Also my friends in Switzerland or Plauen would be ideal carriers.
Man of Aran is in my opinion more for spring or summer, less for autumn and winter, its freshness which it radiates remind me of a walk in Kinsale the mixture of gorse, salt and sea, mixed with moss, perhaps also combined with a Coumlara hike. Whether the Eau de Toilette holds out, that will show up, at the moment it is rather weak on the chest.
Maybe Liam O'Flaherty (for me better than James Joyce) would have liked the fragrance, he was a man from Aran
