Green Island

Just received this gem today and I must say, it's a very pleasant scent. I do agree with most reviews as to the substandard performance in comparison to most LP fragrances. That being said...not every fragrance is meant to be "beast mode" and although compliments are always welcomed, that's not always the goal. Me personally, I wear what I want for me first and foremost. I get a sense of well being and refreshed state of mind when I finally decide on my scent of the day. If you're looking for a summer scent that is a little different than the norm but checks all the boxes, aside from "beast mode" then don't be dissuaded from pulling the trigger on this one. Green Island doesn't remind me of any particular fragrance I've smelled before but it does, in a good way, remind me of a stick of Doublemint chewing gum.

A legend tells that Venus was born from the sea foam on the beach of Citara, in Ischia, and that here she wept for the death of Adonis. Green Island celebrates the beautiful “Isola Verde”, with all its aromas, tinged with a hint of nostalgia: it’s the tale of a happy childhood spent in this magical place, recalled through our most evocative sense: the smell. A walk that takes you from streets filled with flowers and plants, to the scent of the sea waves, and up to the elements of the mountain, kissed by drops of gin. A fresh, elegant fragrance with a slightly sweet undertone. An experience not to be missed, perhaps while watching the sea at sunset. “Sunset at Sea" painted by Renoir.

Love this fragrance, easy to wear but with some deepness. Pleasant, herbal and aromatique with some soft sea vibes. A perfect summer fragrance with medium performace. I don't like to smell super-ninche in summer, I prefer well blended freshies with an authentic and original aura, that's what i've found here.

smells amazing, pretty good spring and summer scent. the only thing that bothers me, that it has no longevity or projection, and for this price, you could get much better frags.

Green Island feels like a memory captured in a scent, the kind of summer you never forget. For Lorenzo Pazzaglia, Ischia, Italy was more than just a place to visit. It was where time seemed to slow down and every moment with his father running barefoot on the shore or laughing in the sunny alleys felt endless. Years later Marco, who loves the island just as much, helped turn that feeling into something lasting. Together they created Green Island to hold onto a fragment of that happiness forever. When you first spray it you notice a lot at once. Bright yuzu and mandarin give it a lively citrus start while wormwood adds a slight bitterness. Ginger and cardamom come through softly to round it out. After about half an hour the scent shifts. Gin adds a subtle sourness, prickly pear and caper flower bring a fresh aquatic touch and red tea gives it a light earthiness. After an hour soft florals like myrtle and lotus start to appear and it eventually dries down to patchouli, oak, vetiver and pine. Green Island is green, herbal, and summery. It mixes citrus, tea, and florals with a bitter herbal twist that makes it feel unique. If you’ve tried some of the Louis Vuitton summer lineup and found them underwhelming this might be for you. It has the brightness of citrus, the freshness of tea, and the softness of florals all combined, but with that bitter herbal Lorenzo Pazzaglia edge. It feels like all of their summer fragrances smashed into one with more personality. Performance is moderate on my skin, lasting about three to four hours before it sits closer to the skin. That is a bit less than I usually get from Lorenzo Pazzaglia but still respectable for a casual summer scent. Green Island is green and herbal but also sweet and uplifting with a soft aquatic freshness. It is bright without being sharp, refreshing without being simple, and it feels like a fragrance that tells a story and keeps a moment in time alive. PS - The reviews for gender, price, performance, love, and hate seem all over the place, so here’s what I think. It is unisex, the value is moderate, longevity and sillage are okay, the price is fair, and I like it.
