Vaniglia Sopraffina e Rhum

My Inner Island · 2011

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

My Inner Island Vaniglia Sopraffina e Rhum is a sweet, spicy and lightly smoky unisex vanilla scent that suits autumn and winter evenings. It opens with orange and mandarin orange, bright and fruity. In the heart, Bourbon vanilla, rum and orange blossom come forward, while cedarwood and amyris keep things dry and woody. The base joins sugar cane sweetness with sandalwood, saffron and frankincense, and thyme adds a spicy edge. The gourmand, powdery side is softened by a smoky accord. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and night out, leisure and evening are the most chosen occasions. Voters lean towards calling it feminine, though it reads as unisex overall. Place des Lices Vanîle and Les Senteurs Gourmandes Vanille Noire have a close profile.

Vaniglia Cacao e Caffé

6.6

My Inner Island · 2014

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

My Inner Island Vaniglia Cacao e Caffé pairs cocoa, coffee and vanilla with sea salt and seawater, giving a sweet, gourmand unisex scent. Cocoa, coffee and vanilla form the sweet, gourmand core of the scent. Sea salt and seawater add a salty edge alongside that sweetness. The accords also include spicy and smoky tones, and the scent has a distinctly synthetic side. The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one whole. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small. Being unisex, it suits both men and women. Kerosene Followed and Theodoros Kalotinis Coffee Addict have a close profile.

Ambre Exotique Sur La Plage

7.3

My Inner Island · 2011

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

My Inner Island Ambre Exotique Sur La Plage is a sweet, fruity unisex scent built around amber, coconut and mango. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one whole. Coconut and mango give a creamy sweetness, while pineapple and passion fruit add a fresh, citrusy lift. Pink pepper brings a light touch of spice, and cedarwood and amber set a resinous, woody warmth underneath. The result is a gourmand, oriental blend with a holiday-in-the-sun feel. Kajal Äican and Riggs Imperial have a close profile.

Absinthe Bleu Glaces

7.6

My Inner Island · 2011

Fresh · Sweet · Gourmand

My Inner Island Absinthe Bleu Glaces is a unisex scent that pairs absinth, lavender and clove, sitting somewhere between fresh and sweet. The scent reads as a single whole: the coolness of absinth and lavender is joined by clove's spice. Benzoin and ylang-ylang soften that sharpness and sweeten it, adding a gourmand warmth. Bamboo and ebony lay a woody base while the freshness stays in the foreground. It suits both men and women, leaning neither clearly masculine nor feminine. There is not enough information on how long it lasts or how far it projects. Lush Twilight and Liur. Catch Up have a similar profile.

Muschio Marino e Sale

7.3

My Inner Island · 2011

Fresh · Aquatic · Synthetic

My Inner Island Muschio Marino e Sale is a fresh, aquatic unisex scent built around musk, ginger and salt. The scent reads as one piece: musk and salt lay down a cool, clean, sea-like base, while ginger and mauby bark add a spicy, lightly woody edge. Synthetic and animal tones sit among the accords, giving it a bare, skin-like character. It stays dry and airy rather than sweet or powdery. Avon Musk Marine and Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey have a close profile.
