Catalina
There are a handful of islands right here off the coast of Southern California and on clear days, the sight of these islands from the Pacific Coast Highway and Highway 101 fills us with a sense of tranquility. About an hour ferry ride from the port of Long beach, we chose Santa Catalina Island as the theme for our fragrance. Its vacation vibe and island charm capture the essence of that carefree and sun-soaked lifestyle, one that Southern California residents like myself often fantasize about while stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
Starting with an inspiration by Creed Virgin Island Water, Catalina reimagines this popular scent and transports you to the sun-drenched beaches and vibrant landscapes of California’s hidden gem. Created through a special collaboration between MacDuff's Soap Company and The Shave Supply.
The journey begins with an invigorating blend of lime and bergamot, evoking the crisp, refreshing air of Avalon’s picturesque harbor. This freshness is enhanced by juicy notes of mandarin, instantly whisking you away to a carefree day spent exploring the island’s charming streets and stunning vistas.
As the scent unfolds, the heart reveals a medley of coconut milk and rum, reminiscent of a tropical drink sipped under swaying palm trees. The warmth of ginger, ylang-ylang, and jasmine creates a harmonious blend that captures the beauty of Catalina’s botanical gardens and hidden coves. A hint of saffron adds a touch of sophistication, evoking the golden hues of a Catalina sunset.
Finally, the base notes of amber, cedarwood, and musk provide a comforting finish that lingers like the memories of your island retreat. The rich and earthy tones mirror the cliffs and tranquil trails of Catalina’s interior, leaving a lasting impression of nature’s embrace.
Catalina is more than just a fragrance; it’s an invitation to experience the magic of an island getaway every day. Whether you're strolling along Descanso Beach, hiking through the lush hills, or savoring the local cuisine, this scent encapsulates the essence of an unforgettable vacation on Catalina Island.
