We first visited Rubha Hunish, the northernmost point of the Isle of Skye - a quiet headland where the cliffs fall sharply to the sea and the wind never stops moving. It’s said to be near where Bonnie Prince Charlie first landed after his escape from the Outer Hebrides in 1746, crossing the water in disguise with Flora MacDonald. Standing there, you can almost feel that same sense of relief and return.
That place became the heart of Over the Sea to Skye. It opens with sea salt and wild thyme, bright and windswept, before settling into driftwood, heather, and ambergris - clean, mineral, and quietly enduring.
It’s a fragrance about journeys and homecomings, carrying the scent of the western sea and the calm that follows the storm.
