Hidden DowntownMaster Perfumer’s Natural Scents

by Julianne Adams

It’s amazing how scent can transport you—a whiff of waffle cone and you’reback on island for the summer. Scent is an extremely powerful and often verypersonal sense. Years disappear and emotions can fly up when a single fra-grance is unleashed. The image of 1,500, then, is a surreal one made real byJohn Harding’s Nantucket Natural Oils on the second floor of 12 Straight Wharf.Discreetly labeled, Harding’s glass bottles cover the wooden shelves of thealready intimate space, augmenting the mystique of aromatic smells. Harding’sofferings are made even more enthralling by the minute variations: wild rose,tea rose, rugosa rose, Jo Malone Red Roses—these barely touch upon the vastselection of the store, which includes a wide array of popular and often discon-tinued designer perfumes.

The most surprising thing about Nantucket Natural Oils, though, is the qual-ity, particularly given the fragrances’ price points: a nine-month supply will runyou $45 for designer perfumes, $25 for a house blend. That little bottle (.25 oz)will stay on longer and probably smell better than the traditional spritz mainlybecause one major ingredient is missing: alcohol. Eau de parfume, the purestbottling, run around 80% alcohol, according to Harding. “I’m zero percent alco-hol,” he says. “We are simply doing the green version.” The reasons that majorperfume companies add alcohol are various and mostly at the cost of the con-sumer.

For Harding, his pure creations are for the customer’s benefit. “This littlebottle (.25 oz) equals three of those,” says Harding, gesturing to a binder withimages of designer perfumes that are mostly 1.7 and 3.4 oz. “When they trymine on and it’s on for 12 hours, they understand that I’m saving them hundredsof bucks.” Another bonus? “It smells nicer,” says Harding. As a “nose,” Hardingwould probably know.

A whiff of a mix and Harding can tell exactly what’s in it: base notes, topnotes, and everything in between. Harding’s expert perfumer skills come not

THEATRE REVIEW

Strange Fictionby Sarah Teach

Hamish Linklater—perhaps best known for his role alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the CBS series The New Adventures of Old Christine—makes hisplaywriting debut with The Vandal, a dark comedy that launched at the Off-Off-Broadway Flea Theater in January 2013. Now playing at Nantucket'sWhite Heron Theatre Company (WHTC), The Vandal is a thoroughly engross-ing story, even before we get to the riveting twist.

A stranger wants to make small talk at the bus stop. Oh man, why can'the go find another bench? That seems to be the thought process of thewoman in The Vandal, who is waiting for her ride when the teenage boy nextto her attempts a chat. The woman, a foul-mouthed misanthrope, sniffs andpulls her jacket tighter as she bristles against the New York evening chill andthe boy's concentrated efforts at conversation. But gradually and intentional-ly, the boy transitions from irritating to endearing. He weasels his way intothe woman's affections, then drops a little bomb: he wants her to buy himsome booze. Who can blame him? He's a 17-year-old kid. The two of themsit and banter for a while, and she gives in. This does not exactly solidify herspot as an unflawed character, despite her proud efforts to appear distin-guished. But somehow we don't blame the woman any more than we do theboy. Neither does the grim fellow who owns the liquor store, once he forcesher backstory out of her.

After his move from annoying to charming, the boy makes yet anothershift to uncanny. We realize he is probably mentally ill, perhaps suffering fromBorderline Personality Disorder. As the bus comes and goes and the duo'sconversation deepens, you see the boy and the woman share an element ofinsanity that could seemingly prevail at any moment, given the right triggers.And slowly, those triggers start getting pulled. Once the firing squad has hadits way, we see that the woman, the boy, and the man all initially portrayed

Tiny Baskets Made of GoldPageo, the exclusive jeweler on Nantucket’s Main Street, is bringing golden

lightship baskets back to our island. In 1977, Glenaan Elliott Robbins designedthe first gold Nantucket Lightship Basket inminiature. It was an oval lidded basket withhand-etched scrimshaw and a tiny penny inside.The bottom was signed and dated. Over theyears, Glenaan designed more miniature goldenbaskets: some with handles that swing and lidsthat open. Each one was designed with meticu-lous attention to detail.

“We’ve been on Nantucket for 20 years andfor most of those years, there were two jewelerswho specialized in these wonderful baskets,”explained George Pelz of Pageo. Since Glenaanclosed her store, “people have been coming intoour store asking for them.” So George his part-

ner Pam decided to bring the baskets back to Nantucket. In their shop at 46Main Street, you can choose from half a dozen styles, some open, some sport-ing miniature scrimshawed tops—baskets you can wear around your neck or ona bracelet. They make a wonderful shining memories of Nantucket.

Those Morning Glory Muffins!Chef Pam McKinstry baked the first Morning Glory muffins in 1978 for her

Sconset Café on Nantucket Island. The recipe was published in Gourmet in 1981,and in 1991 it was chosen as one of that magazine's 25 favorite recipes from thepast 50 years. Mention of these fruity muffins to peo-ple who remember them bring smiles! If you’reready to bake and taste them for the first time andwant to try more of McKinstry’s famous recipes,here’s your chance. Judi Hill is collaborating withPam McKinstry to republish her Sconset Café cook-books to sell at Hill’s of Nantucket on Straight Wharf.

Judi Hill and Pam McKinstry have been closefriends for 35 years. Judi sold hundreds of theSconset Café cookbooks when they were in print.People still stop by her gallery at 40 Straight Wharf,looking for copies. After years of discussing a reprintof the series, Judi began work this year on doing just that. And she’s keepingthis a Nantucket project, collaborating with Peter Sylvia, owner of Poet’s CornerPress, to reprint this classic cookbook in its original format.

The cookbooks are expected to be finished late this month, starting with thefirst “Pink” edition, originally published in 1985. The price will be $24.99, andpre-orders of this limited run are being accepted now at the G.S. Hill Gallery, 40Straight Wharf.

Beach Plumsby Dr. Sarah Oktay,

Director, University of Massachusetts Nantucket Field Station(see www.yesterdaysisland.com for expanded article, website links, & notations)

I finally got to do something quintessentially ”Nantuckety” today for thefirst time in the eleven years that I have lived here, namely pick beach plums.I stumbled upon a bush laden with purple fruit and was delighted to have thetime and a container handy so that I could pick some for a batch of jelly. TheLatin name for the beach plum plant is Prunus maritima Marshall which wasdiscovered and named by plant taxonomist Humphrey Marshall in 1785.Maritima is an obvious reference to its abundance along the seashore.Prunus places it in a large genus that includes peaches, cherries, almonds,and prunes. North American’s indigenous population enjoyed them as didthe colonists, who noticed it almost immediately upon reaching the shoresof the New World. Early explorers of the New York area, including Giovannida Verrazano (earliest written record in 1524) and Henry Hudson, men-tioned beach plums in their writings.

The beach plum is a wild, native plum that grows in abundance on thesandy shores and coastal plains from Maryland to Maine. It is very abun-dant on the New Jersey Shore, Cape Cod, and the islands of Martha'sVineyard and Nantucket. The fruit can be consumed right off the bush or treeas I happily confirmed, but is commonly used for the making of jam and jelly.The skin can be quite tart. P. Maritima is a member of the rose family whichincludes about 2000 species of trees, shrubs, and herbs worldwide. Otherfamily members include serviceberries, hawthorns, apples, plums, and cher-ries. The United States Department of Agriculture’splants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=PRMA2 web page shows us that therange for Prunus maritimaMarshall is limited to the northeast from Marylandto Maine in every state in that region except Vermont which is not knownfor their beaches. There is some evidence it is trying to sneak into Virginia.

Hot temperatures are fading as the end of summer approaches on theheels of Labor Day, but our taste buds are alive and ready for the IndianSummer bounty that awaits us here on Nantucket. The island isn’t quite ascrowded; you can sit on the beach without hearing the conversation of thepeople next to you and you can walk into a restaurant for dinner without areservation. But what do you do when you cozy up to the bar, order a glassof Pinot and the bartender asks, "Grigio, Gris, Blanc, or Noir?" What?

There is more than one Pinot in the wine world, and it doesn’t help thatthere are aliases for the ones that you do know. Keeping the following tipsin mind will help you to easily decipher between the different Pinots andconfidently order exactly what you are looking for.

Everyone has some sort of image that comes to mind about Pinot Grigio,but think outside that box of wine (pun intended). Pinot Grigio and PinotGris are actually the same grape. Their names reference the gray, slightlyred color of the grape skin when the grapes are harvested. The resultingwine is white, although it may sometimes have the slightly bronzed color ofonion skin if the grape skin is left in contact with the juice for a longer peri-od of time during processing. Think of it as a ‘Grey Lady’ kind of wine wherethese words mean ‘gray’ in their respective languages. Grigio is the Italianname, while Gris is French. Same thing, different language, right? Evenwith this in common, however, the wines can be a little stylistically differ-ent.

Pinot Grigio comes mostly from the cool northern parts of Italy. It makesa lean, crisp, light-bodied wine with aromas and flavors of bright citrus andminerals and moderate acidity. It is typically a simple, straightforward, easysipping wine with no need for serious contemplation. This makes it perfectfor uncomplicated, light summer meals. It works well with seafood (thinkhalibut with Massachusetts peach salsa) and simple chicken dishes fromyour backyard grill.

Pinot Gris, especially from France’s Alsace region, is richer, more lush,and sometimes lightly sweet, with flavors of melons and tropical fruit. It ismore full-bodied and makes a great accompaniment to pasta with creamysauces and heartier fish (local stripped bass) and your Mom’s famous chick-en casserole.

Producers in Oregon (Cristom), New Zealand (Mount Beautiful) andbeyond usually signal which style they’re going for depending on what namethey choose.

Next up is Pinot Blanc. Think of this like writing a ‘Blanc’ check whereanything goes, like Nantucket in the summer! Blanc refers to the white colorof the grape skin and the end product wine. This grape, along with PinotGris, is a color mutation of Pinot Noir. What began as a genetic mutationhas since been cultivated into its own type of wine. Today, it is the most rareof the Pinot family. It has aromas of fresh stone fruit and a hint of mineralcomplexity. Its lengthy mouthfeel and bright finish make it an amazingalternative to Pinot Gris.

When used in blending, Pinot Blanc adds body and complexity to thefinal wine. It can also be used in sparkling wine production (Cremantd'Alsace) due to its lower alcohol and higher acidity. Not only found inEurope, there are great domestic examples from Oregon (Adelsheim) andCalifornia (Robert Foley) as well. It is a very versatile wine and worth youreffort to discover if you haven’t already. Check it out as a great way to starta meal paired with zesty crab salad, blue fish paté or carrot hummus withfresh veggies.

Now enter Pinot Noir, the red grape that makes famous wine all over theworld. This grape also has a few aliases, Pinot Nero and Blauburgunder, toname a few. Pinot Noir grows best in cool climates, but is a bit temperamen-tal and needs enough time on the vine to fully ripen. Because of this, really

excellent wines from this grape tend to be more expensive. This is a thin-skinned grape, which translates to lower tannins and less intensity of color.That makes it more transparent in your glass compared to other thick-skinned grapes, like Syrah.

We have different styles of this wine, but the name here typically staysthe same across well-known regions. Region of origin affects Pinot Noirmore than any other grape. Selections from the New World tend to be morefruit forward, ranging from bright red cherry and tart cranberry on theSonoma Coast (Radio-Coteau, check out their ‘La Neblina’) to black cherryand a touch of higher alcohol from the Russian River Valley (Merry Edwards,Paul Hobbs). Red Burgundy from France is always Pinot Noir, showing lotsof terroir (the "sense of place" where it is grown) and earthiness, such asdust and mushrooms. However, Pinot Noir that hails from Oregon is a bal-ance of the fruit driven and earthy styles of wine that originate elsewhere.Pinot Noir can usually be found in places where Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, andPinot Blanc are also grown (think Oregon, Argentina, Italy and NewZealand). Don’t let the light color of the wine fool you. No matter where itcomes from, Pinot Noir is full of complex layers, moderate acidity and superflexible when it comes to food pairing. It is the perfect catch with your freshtuna steak.

If you keep this helpful information in mind, the next time someoneoffers you a glass of Pinot, you won't be surprised by the color. You will beable to figure out which style and which grape it is just by smelling and tast-ing it and not even looking at the color. Your taste buds will be happy andyou’ll be able to correctly pair it with your meal no matter which one you’redrinking.

We don’t really have much in the way of beach plums here at the FieldStation and people guard their favorite foraging spots with zeal. Beachplums love sandy soil and can tolerate a fair amount of salt air. They looksomewhat straggly with alternate, elliptical leaves (3–7 cm long and 2–4 cmwide with sharply serrated edges) that are green on top and paler under-neath. The leaves turn a beautiful fire engine red in the fall. Beach plumsare deciduous shrubs that grow slowly along the shore topping out at only1–2 meters (3-6 feet) in height. Further inland they may get to be up to 4meters (12 feet) tall, especially when cultivated in gardens. The flowers aresmall but showy, 1-1.5 cm in diameter, with five white petals and large yel-low anthers. The fruit is an edible drupe 1.5–2 cm diameter in size. Theplant is very cold hardy and prefers full sun and well-drained sandy soil. Itspreads roots by putting out suckers, but in coarse soil puts down a tap root.In dunes it is often partly buried in drifting sand. It blooms in mid-May andJune. The fruit ripens in August and early September. Fertilization and pHadjustments greatly increases fruit yield over time.

According to Wikipedia, “Plum Island, Massachusetts and Plum Island,New York are named after the Beach Plum; as are Plum Cove Beach inLanesville, Gloucester, Massachusetts; and Beach Plum Island (State Park) inSussex County, Delaware.” Cornell University and several farms across theNortheast and as close as Cape Cod received a sustainable agriculture grantfrom the USDA to create and support a cottage beach plum industry of arti-san farms and small scale canners and growers. This is an excellent idea forNantucket as long as we can control and recycle fertilizers used to increasefruit yield.

And in the “not only good for breakfast” category, we can use beachplums to maintain dunes and dune fields. Some communities that once hadto remove beach plums from seashores to build parking lots are reconsider-ing the natural ability for the plants to hold sand and survive storms and arereplanting them in areas prone to accelerated erosion. P. Maritima is nativeto our shores unlike rosa rugosa and can push up through sand piled on topof them. It grows alongside other common beach plants such as beach grass(Ammophila breviligulata), beach pea (Lathyrus japonicas), and seaside gold-enrod (Solidago sempervirens).

Seashore development and the “good year, bad year” unpredictability ofbeach plum harvests are two issues that have long made it difficult for beachplums to reach a steady cultivar stature. I found many papers on the diffi-culties encountered while taming wild beach plums which allude to theirinconsistent nature that makes them such hardy survivors but somewhatunreliable domesticated plants.

Beach plums also are high in cancer fighting antioxidants and may workas well as their cousins the cranberries in fighting urinary tract infections. Ifjams and jellies aren’t your thing, you can try beach plum wine or gin. NataliVineyards in Goshen New Jersey produces a 100% beach plum wine. In themood for something with a bit more bite? Beach plum gin is a popular prod-uct only available at Greenhook Ginsmiths which is based in Greenpoint,Brooklyn. And drinking your antioxidants in a tasty alcoholic mixture isnothing new! Colonists used beach plums to make a frothy alcoholic drinkcalled syllabub (which as a base used many types of sweet wines).

Eye on Stylenantucket’s

by Sarah Morneau

Making the move uptown from the wharves was a blessing for EmillyBrooke Rubin, and a well-deserved one. At the end of last season she packedup her two stores on Old South Wharf, Sweet Liddle and her jewelry shop, andmoved them both into the current 40 Centre Street location. For a woman whois passionate about the island and her clients, the new larger space allows herto focus more on the products she loves and making her customers happy.

Moving the two stores into one location proved tobe a challenge, but she executed it beautifully. Whenyou step into the store the products from Sweet Liddletake up the front and the left side of the store, and taste-fully sectioned off with tied curtains is her eleganthandmade jewelry boutique. The two areas feel sepa-rate, but coexist perfectly in the space.

Sweet Liddle is named after Emilly’s lateLeonberger dog, Liddle, and began as an extension ofher jewelry store with the idea of bringing a wider rangeof products to her loyal fan base. She stocks the storewith items she loves and uses personally, making for afun and eclectic mix to browse through. There areflowy caftans and skirts, kimonos, colorful shoes, beau-tifully detailed clutches, scarves, and men’s ponchos.The handmade leather bags from Maine really caughtmy eye, and are one of their best sellers. In the front ofthe store you’ll find natural products for you and for thehome, including sunscreen, lotions, oils, soap, candles,

and detergent. Everything is handmade, small batch, and crafted with love. There is something for everyone

here, so make sure to stop in andtake a look around...you’ll want tolinger, touch, smell, and sample allthey have to offer and you will prob-ably leave with a new favorite. SweetLiddle and Emilly Brooke RubinJewelry are open through December.Next week’s article will focus on thejewelry, so stay tuned!

themselves as something they were not. Not once throughout are all three characters onstage at the same time,

but that doesn't make us see their connection any less clearly. Under thedirection of Lynne Bolton (WHTC's president, founder and artistic director),Brandon Reilly plays the boy with piercing emotion that renders him excep-tionally believable. Brandy Zarle (Woman) is almost constantly onstage, yet

saves ampleenergy for hermost demand-ing scene,which comeslast. MichaelKopko (Man),cons i s t en t l yconvincing inhis roles, isundoub ted l yone of the mosttalented actorson the island.

PlaywrightLinklater's dia-logue is pecu-liar, but plausi-ble. As anactor, he has afirm under-

standing of the cadence of onstage conversation and what makes it work foran audience. The ending is surprising, but does not lean on shock value.Kudos to Linklater for this excellent writing debut; I hope to see much moreof his writing materialize onstage. Good on WHTC for trusting in a new andrelatively untested play.

Despite its minimalistic set, The Vandal provides fully realized surround-ings, exemplifying the fact that great story and great acting will always tran-scend bells and whistles. You have only four more chances to see The Vandalat WHTC. It shows under the tent at 5 North Water Street at 7:30 p.m. fromThursday, September 11 through Sunday, September 14. Tickets are $42.50 atwhiteherontheatre.org, by calling 508-825-5268, or at the door. The Vandalruns 75 minutes with a 10-minute intermission. Due to language, this showis only suitable for adults and mature teens.

By the way, my secret spot was actually in a relatively interior part of theisland at least a mile or more from the ocean. Where, you ask, I’ll never tell.I have been given a few jars of spectacular beach plum jam and jelly overthe years, and I’ve been told to include plums of various degrees of ripenessin order to take advantage of natural pectin in the fruit. There are many siteswith easy-to-follow recipes for beach plums, including this article on NPRnpr.org/template.s/story/story.php?storyId=112560982

Check out the University of Maryland’s extension program fact sheet tolearn how to transplant and grow beach plums:https://extension.umd.edu/sites/default/files/_docs/programs/viticul-ture/BeachPlum.pdf.

I really enjoyed this article entitled “Taming the Wild Beach Plum writtenby Richard Uva who is the manager of the beach plum sustainable agricul-ture project in the Horticulture Department at Cornell University he isInterpretation and the Coordinator at Cornell Plantations—the botanical gar-den, arboretum, and natural areas of Cornell University. http://www.beach-plum.cornell.edu/tamingthewildbeachplum.pdf, from his article I learnedthat Edgar Anderson, a geneticist at the Arnold Arboretum and Oliver Ames(son of Oakes Ames who was the head of the Arboretum) a pilot decided tomap Prunus Maritima from the air up and down the Massachusetts coast inthe springtime while they were blooming and published their work in 1932as inaugural “Botanizing from an Airplane”! Anderson had resorted to thisunusual method as he was having a dickens of a time finding the plants oth-erwise, something I can certainly sympathize with.

In the mood to make (and taste) a historic syllabub? Head to www.his-toricfood.com/Syllabub%20Recipes.htm for some recipes and historicalnotes and errata. Maybe we should have some jam at my annual Friends ofthe Field Station meeting scheduled for 5 pm on Sunday September 7 (opento the public, I’ll be speaking). Hope to see you there and happy beach plumpicking!

through training but his own innate sense of smell, a talent that he discoveredby chance after having begun a different life path. A saxophonist at the time,Harding was vacationing on the Vineyard in 1983 and was casually browsing aperfume store. The storeowner was shocked with Harding’s acute sense ofsmell. As it happened, the owner was looking to leave island life behind and soHarding ended up running the store. But Harding didn’t just sniff scents and sellthem. “I started making perfumes constantly. I just started mixing them.” A fewyears later, in 1991, Harding brought his ability to Nantucket, where he has beenever since. When asked how his skill works, he says, “It just does. Everyonethinks I’m a chemist and I’m not.”

Harding refers to his uncanny ability to recreate, or rather improve upon,classic scents like Chanel No. 5. “People can bring me an empty perfume bottleand I can smell all 25 oils.” So it’s no wonder that Harding stocks a large sup-ply of known scents, including discontinued favorites like the sultry Casmir byChopard. “I’ve been told I have the largest selection of discontinued perfumeshere,” says Harding. Harding makes his custom blends from a mix of pure nat-ural oils, sourced from over 30 vendors. “I think I’ve found every source thereis, and I’ve handpicked the best ones of each.” Harding then combines the oilseither in an original scent like the sandy rose Nantucket Beaches or in replica-tion of a beloved Donna Karan, for example. With his instinctive sense, Hardingdoes not recreate based on ratios but rather leaves the exact proportions to anoff-island company. “I do have to send them off to a big perfume house becausewhen I make them I add some, spill some, throw some out. I don’t like it untilI’ve finally got it. Then I’m done and I don’t know what I’ve done.”

Harding, though, masterminds all the mixes, which, because they lack alco-hol and are pure oils, are technically oils and not perfumes. In this more con-centrated form, a small dab (not a spray) will last hours, a major boon over tra-ditional perfumes. “I had so many people, females mostly, that came in and said,‘I wish you could make me my Chanel 5 because mine doesn’t stay on.’ I said,‘Well, that should be easy enough.’ So we started doing that and it’s taken off.”Now Harding challenges the wary customer to take a whiff hours later. “Folksgo, ‘$45 for that?’ and I smile and say, ‘Just wear it and smell your wrists when

you go to bed tonight.’” According to Harding, the alcohol in perfumes manipulates the longevity of

a scent, meaning that at first you smell a blast of the fragrance’s top notes anda few hours later the scent has all but disap-peared. “It's too strong, then it’s gone,” saysHarding. “The alcohol makes you smell thepretty top notes. Without the alcohol, withmine, you’re smelling the base notes but theygo away. We have to make people wait 60seconds. The hardest thing in my store ismaking them wait one minute. After oneminute, the base notes go away and then thepretty top notes that you smell come out.”

And the scent is on you for hours. “Thisis not going to evaporate in an hour. Youhave afternoon and all night.” What doeslinger on your wrist is not a pungent floral or heavy musk; it’s a remarkably softscent. “Scent is such a beautiful thing if it’s soft. Soft attracts, strong offends.”Harding’s scents achieve this softness and durability because the pure oils heuses are cut with sweet almond oil. Pure oils are necessarily cut with somethingbecause gardenia, for example, cannot be distilled to an essential oil whereassandalwood can be. So all of the oil bases that Harding makes his own oils withuse sweet almond oil in lieu of water or chemical additives. “[My pure oils] arenatural and pure because of my carrier oil,” he says. And long lasting, unlikewhat is typically sold on shelves. “If it becomes a year old,” Harding says abouttraditional perfume, “you have to throw it away. My oils, without the alcoholand preserved in sweet almond oil, are good for 10-12 years.”

Plus, the purity of the base oils make for a much more pleasurable end fra-grance. Speaking about his cologne for men, Harding says, “It’s hard to put it inwords but it doesn’t have that cologne smell. It’s got more depth and richness.It’s almost like you have on your own scent.” But Harding isn’t changing thesmell. “People wouldn’t know you’re not wearing the same thing they bought inthe department store,” he says. Harding is more enhancing the aromatic expe-rience. He says that often customers, after smelling his version of a scent, “willgo home and smell the alcohol stuff and go, ‘Oh, this is horrible.’” Harding sees

his mixes as altering their sense: “their nose has been changed by the pure stuff.” For those who complain of allergies, that change is a necessary find. “So many

females think they can’t wear perfume. It’s a simple luxury of a scent gone fromthem because they either sneeze or get a headache or have allergies. Those thingsare from the alcohol,” he says. And without the alcohol, there’s no problem.

While Harding’s oils have the unintended effect of alleviating allergies, hisaromatherapeutic selection actively seeks to alleviate complaints like migraines,insomnia, and muscle aches. Designed by British aromatherapist Peter Holmes,the oils are potent stuff. “I’m a perfumer, I'm not an aromatherapist. Having anose, I have the ability to smell the best quality, the prettiest. Peter Holmes—hisaren’t just the best; he’s way ahead of everyone,” says Harding. “Four drops ofhis cost what 12 drops of someone else’s does. Mostly they’re used for room dif-fusers. You’ve got to get them into the limbic area for five minutes. That’s whyyou can’t just sniff them.” Aside from room diffusers, massage oils and baths areperfect uses for the mixes, all made from organic essential oils. Harding alsosells these oils individually, which are food grade because of their high quality.“You can cook with them,” says Harding, holding a bottle of essential basil oil,“which you can’t do with regular essential oils.”

After you’re done eating that basil pasta, you can freshen up with cinna-mint breath freshener or any of the other wildly delicious flavors Harding sells intiny, discreet bottles. The small bottles pack a lot of scent, as do Harding’ssoothing bath blasters. “Great stocking stuffers,” he says of them. More impor-tantly, “they make your skin unbelievably soft.” After that soothing bath, spritzup with a dry body spray in lieu of a towel. This spray, and other items likeshampoo and lotions, comes unscented. “They all have no smells,” saysHarding, “so I can custom scent them.”

Better start dreaming up your wildest scent, or dig up your old signature fra-grance—but chances are Harding already has it on his shelves. Don’t fret overgetting hooked and not being able to come in to the store because Harding offersa full array of products online at NantucketNaturalOils.com. A fair warningthough: buying online is not as much fun as sniffing your way through the myr-iad of glass bottles.

A talented new chef, a brilliant new menu, a professional staff, and a newpassion for serving only the best have revived the restaurant at 29 Fair Street,placing it firmly among the best on Nantucket.

For decades, this wasthe location of TheWoodbox, beloved byresidents and visitors.After owner DexterTeutein passed on, therewere several attempts atrecapturing the successof this longtime favorite,but each try was missingan essential piece...untilthis season.

In June, 29 Fairreopened with ChefNimesh Maharjan at thehelm, and he’s broughtthis historic islandrestaurant back to its for-mer glory.

In any one of the three intimate dining rooms at 29 Fair, you are sur-rounded by Nantucket history. Built as a private home in 1709, many historicaspects have been retained: the walls are wood paneled, each room has abrick fireplace (one the original large cook fireplace), the old pine “kings”board floors have a slight friendly creak, and the dining rooms are appointedwith interesting artifacts. Soft lighting and candles add to the sense of hav-ing stepped back in time.

The only contemporary aspect of 29 Fair is the food—the closest we cancome to a general description other than “WOW!” is continental cuisine,locally sourced, with innovative sauces and stylish preparations that arenothing short of inspired. Chef Nimesh Maharjan brings serious talent to the

kitchen. His technique is impeccable, and his attention to detail is impres-sive. Every single plate brought to table is beautifully presented. This chefhas a knack for designing dishes with vivid flavor, and he has a passion formaking every dish as good as it possibly can be.

And Chef Maharjan has brought back a less tangible quality—a genuinewarmth and caring that flow from this chef and from his maître d’ DilipMaharjan. Waitstaff provides exemplary service: they’re very well-trained,professional, gracious, and attentive without hovering. When you dine at 29Fair, you feel truly welcomed, an honored guest. He’s brought back the love!

We dined at 29 Fair this week on the eve of a menu shift. Chef Maharjanchanges his menu with the seasons, and we must admit that autumn is near.We’re not sure how much longer the Crispy Squash Blossom appetizer willbe offered, since the main ingredient is so seasonal: too bad, because it’sdelicious! The pair of large blossoms are stuffed with ricotta, pine nuts, andmint, dipped in batter and fried. They’re served hot on a disc of chilled redpepper coulis surrounded by pastel dots of avocado cream. The blossomsare crisp and light and flavorful— not at all oily—the perfect end-of-summertreat.

The cool and sum-mery vegan QuinoaSalad is unlike anythingwe’ve ever tasted. It’ssophisticated withoutbeing self-conscious.The quinoa is cookedtender and combinedwith a a drizzle of honey,and curry vinaigrette andfinely chopped olivesthat add a bit of salt anda whisper of heat to thenutty tasting seeds. Thechef tops the quinoa with chopped mango, perfectly ripe and sweet and juicy,and thin strips of spiced carrot. There’s vibrant flavor in every bite.

We’ve rarely tasted a dish featuring foie that we didn’t like, but there arenot many that are as delicious as the Seared Foie Gras at 29 Fair. The chefgets every detail of this indulgent dish just right: the seared foie’s crisp edgesand meltingly rich interior, the cool, slightly sweet ginger apple puree, thetang of the peeled kumquats, and the sheer heaven of duck fat potato chips.Surely this dish is autumnal enough to stay on the menu a little longer...please?

Portobello Tortelli was an appetizer special the evening we spent at 29Fair, and we highly recommend it. Just the aroma of this dish as it’s setbefore you is enough to make you fall in love! The housemade tortellini arelarge and folded around a delicious mushroom stuffing. They’re set on anastonishingly good truffle cream sauce drizzled with balsamic reduction.Fresh arugula adds a peppery bite, and toasted shaved almonds are the final

touch. We’d return to 29 Fair just to enjoy this one dish again, and apparent-ly we can—Chef Maharjan tells us this special will be added to the fall menuas a regular offering.

At the chef’s recommendation, we also sampled his Chilled ButtermilkSoup. The soup is poured tableside over a cluster of compressed watermel-on, sea beans, and paddlefish caviar. We must confess that this is not some-thing we’d be inclined to order, but we were surprised and delighted by theinterplay of flavors—by the way the salt, sweet, and tang faded in and out tomake this refreshing soup lively and startlingly good.

After a firstcourse of perfec-tion, we couldhardly wait to tryChef Maharjan’sentrees. We werenot disappointed!The Halibut isbeautifully execut-ed: the thick fishcooked throughyet moist and flakyunder a tasty topcrust. It’s servedon a puree of blackrice, which at firstseemed like just a

color backdrop—that is, until we tasted it with the tender fava beans, a biteof halibut, and of one the tiny sauteed chanterelle mushrooms that wereperched on top. This is a dish you want to eat with each element in everyforkful: the flavors combine and reinforce.

Like many out here on this pile of sand 26 miles at sea, we are scallopsnobs—preferring to wait until November, when commercial Bay Scallopseason begins, before we’ll order a scallop dish. Chef Maharjan has shownus the error of our ways. His Scallops are superb! Each morsel is seared toa sweet caramelized top with sweet shimmering middle. The sea scallops

are set around a cornveloute that tastes ofsummer sunshine andare topped withwatercress in a hazel-nut raisin vinaigrettethat is designed toexcite your taste buds.A thin, crisp disc ofpancetta is the finalcrowning touch.

Summer and fallcombine in ChefMaharjan’s version ofPork Saltimbocca.The thick slices ofpork tenderloin aresucculent and packedwith flavor, and welove that they are nes-

tled into a satinysmooth potato pureebetween puckerypickled mustardgreens and spicy-sweet blueberrymostarda. Again thischef has conjuredevery possible flavorto make this entreeexciting!

Even the steak-and-potatoes entreedeserves high praise.The Dry Aged PrimeNY Sirloin Steak isseductively simple: avery good cut ofmeat, cooked per-fectly to order andpaired with the chef’s pommes puree, sauteed mushrooms, grilled slices ofsweet cippollini onion, and a jus that captures the essence of beef.

Desserts at 29 Fair are all made in-house, and with six choices there issomething for every preference. The Chocolate Diversion offers a deliciousdark chocolate mousse, a single white chocolate truffle, and a chilled tortthat we sliced and let melt on our tongues, filling our mouths with flavor.

On the lighter side, we like how the chef accents the floral sweetness ofthe silky smooth Lychee Panna Cotta with a dollop of lemon marmaladeand a stripe of red plum puree. Also very good is the Tropical Fruit andBerries that are topped with a scoop of coconut ice cream and drenched ina sparkling mix of champagne and lemongrass broth with a hint of jalapeno.

Our favorite dessert at 29 Fair is Chef Nimesh Maharjan’s CoconutBrulee. Each member of our team angled overthe last spoonfuls. The custard is perfect: del-icately sweet, rich, and flavored with coconutbut smooth as silk. The sugar top is thin andbrittle, sprinkled with coconut and embellishedwith “caramel caviar” that look like the shim-mering delicacy from the sea but pop with deli-cious sweetness.

For a marvelous meal prepared with pas-sion in an intimate, historic setting, come to 29Fair. This is the perfect spot to make memoriesto savor.

BEACH SAFETY•Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutesyou should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with abuddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surfzone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatestforce here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst intothe sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst intothe waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be presentand/or the water may be too shallow. •Don’t jump or dive into the waterfrom a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeperthan it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feetdeep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst intothe ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth tak-ing. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms outin front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull youaway from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a ripcurrent, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore,until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drinkalcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise deci-sions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.
