What does Red Island smell like?

It opens with Madagascan cinnamon, longoza and bergamot, with the spice up front. The heart brings carrot, sandalwood absolute and coffee, adding a woody, earthy depth. In the base, tonka bean, Bourbon vanilla absolute and patchouli take over, and the scent dries down to a powdery, creamy sweetness.

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good. It is recommended most for leisure, nights out and evenings, though some also wear it at the office. It suits men and women alike, soft but full. Bdk Parfums Velvet Tonka and Le Couvent Nubica have a close profile.
