Tommy Bahama Set Sail Martinique ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 1 July 2010 6 Comments

Tommy Bahama Set Sail Martinique

Tommy Bahama will launch Set Sail Martinique, a new duo of fragrances for men and women, this fall:

Tommy Bahama Set Sail Martinique reflects the life, culture and heritage of this balmy, island retreat. Inspired by the colorful pallet [sic] of the homes and the vibrant shades of the sky and sea, to the exotic flowers and fruits; Set Sail Martinique combines this beauty and grace into a warm and soothing scent. The men's fragrance blends iced bergamot with the subtle spice of fresh pepper that is combined with a sensual musk to capture the essence of the Caribbean. The women's fragrance opens with a fruity burst of sparkling mandarin, while floral notes along with a creamy musk come together for a soft romantic scent.

Tommy Bahama Set Sail Martinique For Men will be available in 100 ml "cologne spray"; Set Sail Martinique For Women will be available in 100 ml "eau de perfume". The fragrances will be $58 each. (via press release)

    Well, the houses in Martinique could be resting on colorful pallets, for all I know…I’m not tempted by this, but then, I can hardly feel morally superior given all of the many other things I’m being tempted by.

      LOL…and in fact they might well be, I’ve never been there.

    The misuse of pallet, palate and pallette has been my pet peeve lately. I’m in Canada where we’re supposed to be bilingual so I don’t understand why it is such a stretch to use “pallette” to describe an array of colours in our newspapers. (This ad copy for Tommy Bahama obviously stems from the US.
    Being an ozonic freak, I like most of Tommy Bahama’s fragrances, as well as his fashions for men and women. Ah, the island life…

      To be honest ‘pallet’ does not bother me as much as the extra comma in the first sentence and the semi-colon in the second sentence. But we make plenty of errors here so will not throw stones 🙂

        Yes, you’re so right about the punctuation. When I pressed “Post Comment”, I was horrified to see that I hadn’t closed the brackets. I have realized that I spelled “palette” incorrectly twice (ouch!). Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! I scurried to my OED to find out that in the second usage of pallet, the third definition actually says, an artist’s palette”! Well, live and learn.

    Well, thank goodness the women’s scent is opening with fruit!. We haven’t had that for awhile….
