A celebration of the fearless and intrepid, for those who laugh in the face of death-defying stunts. Isle of Man is inspired by the annual motorcycle race held on the Isle of Man – touted the most dangerous race in the world, Isle of Man salutes free spirits and adrenaline addicts who know that truly living means pushing boundaries.
You’re never more alive than when your life is on the line. This scent plays homage to infamous race, however it is not just an ode to motorcycle racing. It stands for a philosophy of life – living intensely, each second as if it were the last, even if it means coming dangerously close to the edge. Life should be anything but boring.
A nod to the Tourist Trophy, the competition held every June, which dates back to 1907 when motorcycle racing was prohibited in Britain and therefore relegated to the Isle of Man instead. This scent takes us to the open roads of this island, the crisp air hitting our cheeks as you ride dangerously fast.

HOW IT WEARS
Isle of Man is an Eau de Parfum, which gives you at least 6 – 8 hours longevity of wear – often lingering for longer. Opening with the rich depth of creamy florals, balanced beautifully by sweet citrus notes & salty freshness. The salty fresh note tones create a really unique take on a Vetiver fragrance that works so perfectly in Isle of Man, A powerful, but not overpowering scent that you’ll still be inhaling at the end of the day.
LORE LOVES
We love the way Isle of Man takes you to a place you can forget the day to day and transports you to another place and time: on a yacht sipping drinks in the sun, or motor cycling across the isle for which it’s named. Easy, breezy, island style fun!
