Island Tobacco

This is a unique sweet, tropical tobacco. I want to compare it to Herod but you would never confuse the two. But they are both unisex sweet tobacco fragrances, Island Tobacco has more fruit though, and I think it's got much more character than Herod. Herod is pretty well blended so you can't really pick out many of the notes, but island tobacco actually has some identifiable fruits and flowers, which I prefer. Even though it's a tropical scent I think it's fine in any season. A great every day fragrance.

Guava and tropical forward, almost giving a tiki cocktail nose, or if you want to be less charitable something like a tropical mix bag of skittles. I’m having a bit of trouble finding the tobacco in this, on the first few hours of wear I’m getting those same tropicals with a bit ambergris as the base. Tobacco can sometimes have a raisin-like note, which is what I think blends it into the first few hours of wear. After about 4 hours and some exercise, the tobacco and woods are starting to peak out a bit more. But they are fair more of a skin scent than I would have expected given how powerful the opening was. Interesting perfume, very tropical, I would say a crowd pleaser if I didn’t see some of the other reviews. So maybe this is one that hits people’s noses and skin very differently. It’s not my favorite from this house but thankfully I’m not getting a buffet smell from it as another has mentioned.

This one starts off fresh and fruity and evolves into a blissfully sweet tobacco fragrance. Each time I wear it I pick up something new and it wears different depending on the temperature. For that reason, I feel like you can wear this in any season and enjoy it.

In my opinion this one is similar to / has same beautiful tobacco note as Navitus Parfums Exalt Nuit (created by Francis Kurkdjian and Jerome di Marino). Exalt Nuit has better longevity and projection. Also, Island Tobacco is $175 for 50 ml and Exalt Nuit is $195 for 100 ml.

Imagine yourself at the end of an international lunch buffet, and there is some left over jalapeño poppers, lasagna, sushi, kebabs, mac n cheese, chocolate mousse, cheesecake, and orange juice. Now put all these leftovers in a big bag, shake it well, then voila, dinner is served! This is what this fragrance is about. Absolutely horrendous
