Sun-Kissed Island

Some of yall seriously need to grow up and get a life.... how pathetic (I just know yall are basement dwellers at your moms house). Ignoring the childish hate and fake comparisons this is honestly a beautifully crafted fragrance here's my input. Heads up its a bit of a read if you just want a quick summary scroll to the bottom of my comment. At first I was not ecstatic about it off first spray seemed floral heavy and floral forward unisex surely but leaning feminine imo I somewhat wrote it off and a bit disappointed quite honestly. Picked it back up a week later to give it another go still wasn't ecstatic but it's addictive and I have gradually fallen in love with it. After getting some oxygen in the bottle the notes seemed to have blended into a much smoother more complex composition still floral forward but not as floral heavy and something I would classify as unisex. The mint, ginger, lime and tequila had finally come out to play. I can't say I've smelled anything directly relatable to it you can pull bits and pieces from other things on the market such as VIW and CoCo LoCo but it is truly it's own thing at the end of the day at least to me. The best way I can think to describe the vibe and felling that this gives off is to imagine the culmination of a day spent at the beach in all the best ways here's what I mean by that... Let me paint a picture for you. you're at a tropical resort, You started the day off lathered in sunscreen ready to be cooked you've taken a couple dips in the ocean walked the board walk grabbed a mojito which you end up spilling on your towel as you're laughing uncontrollably. Along your beach walk and you come across a beachside flower grove and played with a cool looking piece of drift wood that the ocean spit out at your feet. You've just spent the day at the beach partaking in typical beach activities the day is coming to an end and your packing up your stuff getting ready to make the trek back to your car. On your walk back a warm breeze wafts, all the aromas of the day culminate and remind you of the adventures and activates of the day you smile and think damn that was nice can't wait to do that again. Summary: A warm ginger, mint, lime & tequila accord are coming off your towel from the mojito you spilled the aroma of floppy ylang ylang flowers, Jasmine & roses drift in from the beachside flower grove upwind from you a strong but not overwhelming musk radiates off your Sun-kissed skin after baking in the sun and swimming in the ocean that initial coconut sunscreen smell has worn off but there's a prominent and distinguishable coconut milk note that lingers and has been lingering all day and then you remember you pocketed that cool looking piece of drift wood as a souvenir providing a nice woody base. I think this is perfectly unisex incredibly transportive and quite honestly great for any season just heavy enough you could pull it off in the cool weather no problem if you wanted Which I have been and Loving it. My personal Ratings Overall: 8.75/10 (Genuinely outstanding have really grown to love this fragrance) Scent: 8.5/10 (Truly addictive and fairly unique for it's category) Longevity: 8/10 (Easily lasts a full work day 8+ hours on skin can smell it on clothes days later) Projection: 7.5/10 (Its not a beast mode monster projector but it's not supposed to be for the kind of fragrance it is projection is great pumps off my skin for first two hours with moderate projection for the remainder of it's life) Sillage: 9/10 (Great scent trail will easily pick up wafts of this as long as you are wearing it) Price: 7.75/10 ($155 for 60 ML Niche can't really complain I just know it's not in everyone's budget for smelly water) Biggest downside to this one is just availability hopefully Zaharoff runs more batches of ZED 3.0 they were all outstanding.

SKI = Sun Kissed Island! This is a royal flush! Surely is one of a kind. I’m proud to be part of the zed creators 3.0 and was happy to add this one to my Zaharoff collection. Sun Kissed Island is an absolute masterpiece in many ways. It is a tropical, floral, aquatic, with a boozy sand feel to it, it also brings me back to a great memory that I continue to cherish. I definitely get surf shop vibes with this one, this one has its own unique character and stays in its own lane. The best part is? It performs well in cooler weather! It has some nice heavy wood elements too. This fragrance represents what a sun drenched beach in Florida is about, whether it’s enjoying fun times during spring and summer break or catching some waves surfing. Even if I wanted to compare this to something I can’t because this one has its own class and character by its self. It’s not similar to Seraphim Blue or CoCoLoCo. It’s just a sexy semi grown tropical floral aquatic with a creamy wood base. From TLTG Reviews having his vision and Claude Dir with his creativity with perfuming. They both have nailed it together with this one and along with George too.

Yall are so corny and honestly ruining this page for people who actually use it for research. This is somehow a unique summer fragrance, not your typical blue. I understand the coconut milk is in the base, but Im detecting it pretty early on. Perhaps the Ylang Ylang and cardamom are creating that effect. I don’t get much of the tequila but the lime and ginger are present. I think the best way I can describe it is like a creamier Virgin Island Water with a smooth tequila twist and slight hints of French Riviera. Solid sillage and longevity which I’m sure will get better as the juice matures. But anyone expecting a “freshie” to last 8-10hr is delusional and doesn’t understand fragrances. Coconut is one of my top 3 favorite notes but I’m always afraid of the “sunblock” coconut frags. This isn’t one of them, I’ll definitely be rocking this a ton and I’m glad I was able to secure a backup bottle. This is instantly in my top 3 summer list along with VIW and CoCoLoCo. In my opinion it’s a 9.5/10 with potential to join CoCoLoCo as one of my few perfect 10s. A must have for anyone looking for a unique summer frag.

Okay, so I'm a huge Zaharoff fan. I don't know anything about the youtubers, I don't care about their lives or who likes or dislikes who. I care about fragrances. Now with that said! SKI is an absolutely beautiful scent. I've never been one for beachy or sun tan lotion type scents. But I don't really get that here. The coconut milk is very much coconut milk and not sun tan lotion. The lime is pretty strong and adds a nice freshness to it. It's fresh and creamy, a little feminine. It's not my favorite but there is something about it that is just so easily addictive and comfortable. I have been wearing it to bed a lot just to ease anxiety and feel good and realxed. If anyone wants to hate on it that's fine. It sold out anyway and the ones who love it/enjoy it have it and will continue to enjoy it even when the haters are hating. Y'all just wasting your energy being negative for no reason. And to the person below who said Zaharoff would do much better financially without tltg 😂😂😂 get out of here. He is doing better than ever right now and is continuing to climb that spot with or without tltg.
