"Selecting a Signature Scent at the Bermuda Perfumery The abundance of tropical flowers and plant life flourishing along Bermuda’s sunny shores makes it a prime location for the creation of fabulous fragrances. The Bermuda Perfumery has been blending essential oils and floral essences into sweet-smelling perfumes, under the Lili Bermuda name, since 1928. Located at Stewart Hall in St. George, visitors can see the perfume-making process, sample different scents, and purchase lavish gifts. All fragrances are developed on the island under the direction of perfumer Isabelle Ramsay-Brackstone. Specially blended fragrances represent the natural beauty and floral, citrus, and sea-inspired scents of Bermuda. Whether your fragrance tastes lean toward flirty florals, hints of honeysuckle, or fresh bursts of citrus, there is a scent to suit every body. Exotic concoctions of coconut milk, guava, and sea salt will stir up memories of Bermuda's tropical location. Men’s fragrances include refreshing aromas of loquat and seagrass as well as masculine mixes of warm Bermuda cedar, rosemary, and lavender. A wide variety of products are available for purchase, including perfume, eau de toilette, cologne, body lotion, and shower gel. Can’t decide between all of the enchanting scents? Try a mix of small, sample-size vials."

"Twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1 to 4 p.m., Lili Bermuda Perfumery hosts classic English afternoon tea in the gardens of the shop, which is nestled inside the historic Stewart Hall in St. George’s. It's a picturesque spot to indulge in a quintessential British pastime, and all the staples are here: tiered trays of finger sandwiches, tiny cakes, and petits-fours, plus scones with clotted cream, honey, and jam, many of them featuring local ingredients." - Katherine Cusumano

"In 1928, when one of Bermuda’s chief exports was the trumpet-shaped Easter lily, a local perfumer started creating scents made with the fragrant flower. More than 90 years later, master perfumer Isabelle Ramsay-Brackstone has carried on the tradition at Lili Bermuda Perfumery, a historic perfumery in the Town of St. George’s. Located inside Stewart Hall, a 1730s stone cottage, the dreamy boutique features island-inspired colognes, perfumes, and eau de toilettes, all made onsite with local botanicals. Stop in and say hello: It's likely that Ramsay-Brackstone will be there to help guide your purchase." - David LaHuta
