Inspiration: Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Beau Le Parfum
Couldn't load pickup availability
Le Beau Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier is the reference behind Island by Khadlaj, with pineapple, coconut and warm woods creating the clearest connection. Iris and ginger make Island's opening a little drier, then sandalwood, amber and ambergris smooth the base into a beachy glow. Expect the same seductive tropical-designer territory with less emphasis on syrupy sweetness.
Top: pineapple, iris, ginger, cypress
Middle: coconut, woody notes
Base: tonka bean, sandalwood, amber, ambergris
Pineapple arrives juicy but not candy-like, sharpened by ginger and softened by iris before coconut begins filling the center. Cypress and woods keep the creaminess in check, then tonka, sandalwood, amber and ambergris leave a warm sunlit finish.
Island throws a clear 3-5 foot tropical trail for about two hours, then the pineapple-coconut brightness folds into creamier woods. It usually lasts 7-9 hours, with tonka, sandalwood and amber giving the later wear a warm, steady base.
Spring, summer and early fall are ideal for Island, from sunny afternoons through warm evenings. Vacations, rooftop drinks, beach dinners, weekend parties and casual dates all suit it. The ginger, woods and amber keep the tropical sweetness slightly masculine-leaning.
