SOTD/Review: Khadlaj Island Dreams (Sample)

🔥

This opens bright with bergamot and ginger, giving a sharp citrus-spice kick, then mellows into juicy grapefruit in the heart. The base is clean and smooth, built around musk and ambroxan, which keep the composition fresh yet slightly sensual. In terms of performance, it projects reasonably well for the first 1-2 hours, then settles into a softer, close-to-skin aura. Longevity on my skin was 6-9 hours. It’s a well-crafted, pleasant fragrance - vibrant and wearable, especially in warm weather or casual settings. Overall rating: 8.3/10, to me at first spray it felt like I got French Avenue Pinnace vibes (which is a supposed dupe of LV Pacific Chill), that citrus blend off first spray gave me that impression. Would I buy full bottle? Yes I would, but will probably wait until next spring/summer now as more interested in autumn/winters scents right now.
