Island is a unisex Extrait de Parfum from the Emirati house Khadlaj, offered in a 100 ml bottle. Pineapple, iris, ginger and cypress open onto a heart of coconut and wood, set on amber, ambergris, tonka bean and sandalwood. The house describes it as a tropical escape, and its bottle in glass shading from black to turquoise carries a gold crown-shaped cap.
The box of Island divides its composition into three tiers. Pineapple, iris, ginger and cypress form the opening: the house speaks of a juicy tropical freshness, refined by the powdery elegance of iris and lifted by a lightly spicy aromatic touch.
A heart of coconut
The heart pairs creamy coconut with woody notes, a warm and exotic accord that the house wants true to the relaxed elegance of an island. The woods give depth to the sweetness of the fruit.
An ambery base
The base brings together amber, ambergris, tonka bean and sandalwood. The house describes a golden amber, a tonka of smooth sweetness and a creamy, woody sandalwood; this ambery foundation places Island among the orientals.
Other descriptions
An earlier presentation by the house placed bergamot at the top and ginger and pineapple at the heart with coconut, and cited neither iris, nor cypress, nor ambergris. The current box carries the breakdown used here.
