What it smells like

Khadlaj Island opens with a juicy burst of tropical pineapple and citrus coupled with ginger and a hint of green freshness, creating a bright and uplifting first impression. The heart unfolds into creamy coconut and soft woody notes, giving it a beachy, sun-soaked creaminess. The dry-down reveals warm amber, tonka bean and sandalwood with subtle ambergris depth, resulting in a smooth, cozy and languid finish that lingers like a coastal sunset. 

Some community reviewers note performance can vary by batch and that letting the fragrance rest (macerate) may improve longevity and smoothness.
