Island Life for Her

Island Life For Her has become my favorite summer fragrance. Sadly, it isn't long-lasting on my skin. The first spritz out of the bottle is so heavenly that it is worth reapplying throughout the day. How many fragrances really smell wonderful on the first spritz? It must be the star anise top note that makes Island Life smell unique to me. I first smelled this on a woman strolling through Walmart. I know, not a "glamourous" beginning! But she smelled so intensely, wonderfully, like "summer" that I followed her down the aisle to ask her what she was wearing! She was trailing a cloud of fragrance, so it must have been her skin chemistry that made it so intense. I wish it worked that way with mine, but I love it anyway. I do think the bottle is very unattractive. I only leave out a few fragrances at a time, and I don't enjoy looking at this one when it sits on my perfume tray. . Pretty bottles sell fragrance, and this one should be repackaged.

I'm in love with this fragrance! It seems every perfume that is island or beachy, has a suntan lotion or coconut vibe. Not this, but it still makes you think of an exotic getaway. This makes me feel flirty-sexy, not little black dress but more like almost sheer, strappy sundress with tan lines exposed. It's bright, uplifting and makes me smile. I bought a backup since it's so inexpensive.

This is so lovely, light and carefree, yet sweet and very feminine. Based on the notes I didn't think I would love it as much as I do. But I decided to purchase it based on some of the reviews here, and I like it a LOT! There is nothing spectacular or super unique about it, but it is a great every day scent that I enjoy way more than many other fragrances out there. It's a keeper.

I love this. I purchased it at Tommy Bahama many years ago, reminds me of Hawaii. Unfortunately, I recently replaced it, and they new bottle smells much different... less like tropical floral, and much more like ammonia 😭

Just received my bottle in the mail. It smells like a well-blended warm floral smell, kind of generic, but it's very pretty. I smell the peach blossom the most, and I love peach so it's enjoyable. The vanilla is not too prominent, but more of a light whisper in the base. The anise is almost undetectable to my nose. After it's worn for a while it melds with your skin to create a buttery musky smell, very nice, and probably would be very sexy on warm summer skin. As I am testing this in 30 degree weather, it is not very 'tropical' smelling, but more generic fruity-floral. I think this will bloom beautifully in the heat; I look forward to wearing it once the weather gets warmer and getting a different experience from it.
