Island Palm Beach

LOVE this! I had the pleasure of smelling it in a sample & it is so evocative of relaxation & femininity. So if you want something bright but are afraid it might be too acidic or pervasive, it absolutely won't be. It's exciting enough to elicit curiosity but is ever so gentle. It is calming & says simply: 'I am soft'. The pink pepper serves to bolster up the ultra-refreshing notes of grapefruit and orange (for me, you can't get any more divine than Citrus) so in effect, without being garishly spicy, it makes the softer notes of citrus a bit sharper and more piquant. LOVE it. The notes of tea, jasmine & vanilla in my opinion further subdue & soften the lightly tart & slightly exotic citrus at the top of this fragrance. The dry down is soft, a tad sweet & warm due to the tea & vanille, but still feels cool & remains true to the breezy image of an island in the tropics. Totally Florida...think colorful & celebratory Caribbean tamed ever so slightly by the preppy 'greenness' of Polo. A bit confused by the presence of Rum, though i suspect it rises to the top in order to bolster the piquant acidity of the lightly peppered Citrus, so that in tandem with the pink pepper gives the fruity top notes a much sturdier body. What i love though is the jasmine and tea, both softly seductive, and their presence here is greatly felt along with the grapefruit. This would make for a divine experience in the spa or fresh out of the shower because it invigorates the senses & would be freshly amplified by moist, balmy air. This is in many ways luxurious, but never alienating. Sublime, friendly, inviting & a touch herbal. This would be great in a soap, lotion, sachet, or even tea. Think a relaxing beauty treatment with cucumbers over the eyes ;)

In the beginning it is a green peppery explosion. Sort of woodsy green musty ocean air somehow. But I like it. The peppery greeness just keeps puffing for a couple hours, until suddenly, it all but disappears, and is taken over by this beautiful airy and slightly aquatic sweet floral scent. It doesn't read as jasmine to me, but in my mind I'm picturing a sweet wild summer rose. I also sense a hint of vanilla rum, but not boozy at all, just adding a bit of complexity to the flowers. It is such a light and pretty ending. I'd say you should have a distinct liking for pepper scents to enjoy this. It is a great scent for summer or a beach vacation. Sillage is gentle but noticeable in close proximity, long lasting as well. A very unique pepper scent. Enjoyable to wear.

I love this scent it is one of my favorits. The only thing is that it doesn't last long. I wish they had apurse spray. Too bad it is limited edition.

Sipping sprite in a garden full of green lush vegetation is the mental image Palm Beach evokes. Palm Beach starts really airy, sweet and refreshing with sweet grapefruit smell. Somewhat I cannot really smell much. All this is so subtle and somewhat it smells like a nice concoction of lemonade in a bottle, plus a pinch of fresh cucumber freshness while some green leafy trees are around you. Then the scent develops in a really linear fashion, it just gets less cucumber-fresh, and more tamed, and a little bit warmed-up on the skin. I cannot really smell the listed notes like jasmine, pepper or rum much, but the whole scent smells nice and soothing. Somehow Palm Beach reminds me a lot of the essence of Demeter Rain, but Palm Beach is calmer and less synthetic smelling. Palm Beach is not your usual lady’s or gentleman’s perfume, due to the lack of some floral or woody notes normally occur in perfumes intended for the mass market. However, Palm Beach is not unwearable, because it doesn’t have a big sillage and the refreshing factor just makes it a nice energizing perfume.

I enjoy this fragrance but I had higher hopes for it. I first tried a sample of it and absolutely loved it but when I actually bought a bottle of it, I was surprised. It does have a lovely citrus beginning but not long after, the tea stands alone. The tea is all that lingers through the day and while I enjoy the scent of tea, I wish that some of the other notes had stood out as prominently.

I actually live in Palm Beach and got this at the MK store back when it launched. I still have it in my bathroom, only about a quarter used. It’s nice and sweet and tropical. I mostly get straight pineapple. I feel bad I have barely used it. Fragrance doesn’t last and now it’s too sweet for my taste so I’ll be decluttering this, I’ve had it way too long.

It is green and smells very fresh and clean, I get a lot of tea and lemon in this. I'd be perfect for a dream vacation. The bottle made of thick glass looks very elegant and the packaging is pretty.

I had the pleasure of using a sample of this I got in a magazine and was sure I had found a new fresh, green scent for spring! The tea notes really stood out with a great balance of other notes. Unfortunately, when I went to test the actual perfume at the store, I was completely disappointed. A few minutes after initial application, the scent turned to something that reminded me of that awful smell flowers get if you've kept them too long! I wish I could have just bottled the magazine sample, which was just perfect. I will not be purchasing this perfume.

Light Fresh smelling Verbena Lime Fragrance However when I put it on it smells like ........ well dirt. I cant get over the weird dirt base smell. I really wanted to like this. but its a pass for me It did have a nicer dry down However I just cant get over the stong dirt smell when I put it on

I absolutely love this scent. It goes very well with my body chemistry and I received nothing but compliments when I wore it. Very beachy, citrusy (and trust me, I am NOT a grapefruit fan), etc. It became my everyday casual scent, but also one that made me feel very glam. I just ran out of it a few weeks ago and I was upset to learn it was limited edition/discontinued. I've even written the Kors company to appeal to them to consider re-launching it or making it available in the summer. If anyone has any suggestions as to "substitutions", I'm all ears!

This bottle brings back so many memories. I have no idea where I found this scent, but it was one of the first and only I used up completely. This was my first foray into the citrus, more clean category of fragrances, and I absolutely LOVED the idea behind this. Enter in my search for the perfect clean, feminine citrus that I still haven' found. This one starts out green and almost sharp, dries down to a clean musk. Not much staying power though (probably why I went thru so fast).

I went shopping the other day and happened across this fragrance. The bottle looked fresh, clean so I gave it a spritz. At first was the aroma of clean, grassy clean, honeydew melon clean green. And then my nose was overcome with citrus, citrus! Come kiss me I'm a citrus orchard. Yuck!! I was totally fooled. It was not what I was looking for; but it's ok. It might be just what you've been wishing for this winter.

It reminds me very much of Bulgari Green Tea but softer and not as stringent. This is fresh, citrusy, green, summer in a bottle. The dry down is softer and warm like the skin gets after being in the pool and sun all day and suntan lotion has worn off. The citrus is bright and tart and as it opens up it warms but yet stays true to the green nature of the frag. Love this, it'll be my next purchase.

This is an interesting scent. I enjoyed it quite a lot but will not purchase because it is too sweet on me. It reminds me of my favorite Archipelago candle, Figi.
