Treasure Island

Seems like some mixed reviews on this one. If this were a Dior scent, it would have more fanboys than any other fragrance known to man. A little rum, a little spice and a little pineapple. Honestly - this is fantastic. The price + the smell - 10's all day. The presentation is great and the quality is great. How this has stayed unknown for so long, I haven't a clue. Week 2 edit: I've spent nearly two weeks with this. I can definitely say that I smell most of the notes listed - specifically pineapple and rum. When I spray this - I has a familiar smell - like a really good designer scent - but there's something that lies in the background that separates this. I cannot determine the note. In terms of one of the reviewers saying this isn't a safe blind buy - I respectfully disagree. I would posit that this is one of the safest blind buys for a guy - while you may not find it as great as I do, I'd have trouble believing someone would dislike this scent - not to mention, it's $60. It's an EDT, so projection and longevity aren't awesome, but this has quickly become one of my favorites. The presentation is thoughtful and doesn't feel cheap at all. Grab a bottle. 6/10

Not much out there about this so I want to give my impressions. To me this is a rich, uniquely smelling tropical scent. I get boozy spiced rum, smoky pineapples & melons, wet sweet smelling wood, and eastern spices. Makes me think of: An old sailing ship transporting oak casks of aged spiced rum and pineapples... Everyone gets a little crazy with the rum and accidentally spills one of the casks... I meander over and smell inside the cask. Mmmmm Smell: 5/5- I really love it. Longevity: 5/5- I consistently wake up smelling like this the next morning after apllying it the evening before, though it completely transforms into dry woods by morning. Sillage: 5/5- Two sprays and that's it! Versatility: 2/5- mostly great for breezy (cooler) summer days & nights, outdoor parties, etc. Would be cloying for me on a very hot day.

In the opening, the scent seems citric and slightly aquatic. It's a very different scent. In the middle, it's warm and a very sweet smelling scent. It's a little less sweet than D&G's The One, but somewhat similar to that scent. It wasn't the musky, overpowering, generic scent I was expecting. I wouldn't call this a signature frag, but something different to try. For me 8/10! Cheers!

A little sweet, a little spicy and very powdery on my skin. I wish there was more pineapple which would have made this fragrance more unique. The presentation is outstanding and the fragrance is pleasant. Scent: 6.75/10 Longevity: 6-8 hrs. Sillage: Moderate Value: C- Versatility: B-

Sampled this the other day and found it entirely unremarkable. It was featured a few days later in our local newspaper as a "Father's Day Scent" option and some of the notes were listed too. Well, this prompted me to look it up on here. If I hadn't sampled this in-store and found it just plain... banal, and entirely uninspiring, based solely upon the listed notes alone, I'd surely blind-buy this in a heartbeat!! However, be forewarned: DO NOT DO THIS!!! Please sample it first. If you think it's out-of-this-world, fantastic! More power to you! Obviously, you're smelling something I'm missing; the notes perhaps.
