Khadlaj Perfumes

Island

2024

“Pineapple and coconut on tonka — Khadlaj's tropical winner at the price you wanted.”

Island
sweet
woody
coconut

Widely compared to Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Beau Le Parfum (2022), Khadlaj's 2024 Island pairs pineapple and iris with coconut over a tonka base. Sweet, woody and coconut accords lead, with fruity and vanilla facets. The coconut and tonka give a creamy, sun-warmed sweetness, lifted by light spice at the top. A summer daytime scent, with spring close behind.
