What does Eau des Îles smell like?
It opens with tarragon and myrtle, then moves into a heart of frankincense, coffee, ylang-ylang and labdanum, where a floral, resinous warmth settles beside the greenness. Vetiver, patchouli and galbanum form a woody, earthy base, with spicy and smoky tones running through it.
Its longevity is rated strong, while sillage stays moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards night out, business and evening wear. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it classic. Vala's Enchanted Perfumery Urð and Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur Hindu Gras have a close profile.
