Shelter Island is remembered by the community primarily for its unfortunate discontinuation and the emotional impact of losing bottles of this premium fragrance. While the scent itself receives positive marks for quality and longevity, the main concern is the product's unavailability for replacement and the high cost associated with accidental breakage.
