About Fragrances of Ireland Ltd

INIS - the Energy of the Sea - is the signature fragrance of Fragrances of Ireland, a family-owned, independent boutique perfumery that has spent more than 40 years crafting ocean-fresh fragrance, seaweed-enriched body care, and home scent inspired by the wild Atlantic coast of Ireland.
