About
It All Started Summer '72 ...
1970's
1972: It all began in the summer of 1972 when our family first set foot on Hilton Head, a hidden gem full of promise and new beginnings. Those sunlit days and balmy evenings inspired the handcrafted creations we make today. Our Summer '72 scent, with bright notes of neroli, orange blossom, and warm amber, captures the nostalgia of those carefree days. It’s a tribute to the summer that started it all, when Hilton Head became more than just a destination—it became home.
1980's
1989: Harbour Fest, which began in 1989, quickly became a cherished summer tradition for our family. Shelter Cove channels the vibrant energy of those '80s evenings, capturing the joy of live music and the awe of fireworks with notes of blackcurrant, rose, and vanilla. This scent is a tribute to the the buzz of the '80s and the magic of fireworks coming alive beneath the stars.
1990's
1997: In 1997, we celebrated 25 sun-soaked summers in Hilton Head, just like many families who’ve made the island a cherished tradition. Sundrenched brings back those carefree '90s days—the ocean breeze, warm sand, and afternoons by the pool. With notes of ocean, honeysuckle, and oud, this fragrance captures the joy and nostalgia of those endless summers.
2000's
2007: As our family grew and began to pursue their own adventures, one tradition remained—Hilton Head vacations. Atlantic Dunes captures the essence of those weekends, whether golfing or strolling along sandy dunes. With calming lavender, warm sandalwood, and sweet tonka, this scent embodies Hilton Head’s tranquility found both on and off the course.
2010's
2018: Our Harbour Town scent embodies the charm of a place that holds deep meaning for us. With bright bergamot, creamy coconut, and subtle musk, it’s a fragrance that brings back the joy of our wedding rehearsal on the 18th green, the excitement of our welcome reception on the pier, and the serenity of balmy nights under the Liberty Oak. This scent is a heartfelt tribute to the unforgettable moments that make Harbour Town so dear to our hearts.
Today
2022: In 2022, we marked 50 years of Hilton Head memories with our Adventure scent. With notes of violet, cardamom, and sandalwood, it captures the island's natural beauty and the freedom it inspires. Named after Adventure, Captain William F. Hilton's ship that first sailed to Hilton Head in 1663, the scent's artwork pays homage to the iconic parrot of the Adventure Inn, one of Hilton Head's original hotels, where our journey began in 1972.
