Island by Michael Kors

I like it! The kiwi definitely stands out in the beginning and makes me think of the way Amour d`Amandier by Nina Ricci begins. The ginger / salty aquatic notes add a strange note in the center but fade. Island isn't necessarily a ground shaker. It's similar to others, but it's very pleasant and I'm glad to have it in my collection.

OHHHHHHH, i love this scent!!!!! It sure smells just like Jonquel to me but it is not listed in the notes above?????? I don't get it, I have been around flowers in the spring and know the smell pretty well but its not in this bottle. HUMMMMMM...........what is going on here? Ive seen many ladies here say the same thing about a particular perfume and don't see the scent listed above. it must be just the way the nose perceives it, scent is a funny thing, no two people seem to perceive the same thing. This is a very flowery perfume-very white type of flowers.

For some reason all Michael Kors fragrances smell very un-blended to me. A cacophony of random weak notes, and one strategically a bit stronger than others. This one, as I am almost certain, is dog flea shampoo. Sorry, Michael. The Island smelled like slightly rotting cheap bouquet which someone accidentally left by open sea bath salt jar.

Island was my second Michael Kors fragrance. After being turned off by Kors, I wasn't sure if I wanted to try another Michael Kors scent. However, I ended up purchasing it anyway and after one whiff, I was certain that Island was more wearable on my skin than Kors.

Island is a rather fresh and calming fragrance. I feel relaxed everytime I wear it. It puts me in a pleasant mood and I can't help but daydream of tropical beaches and lying on the warm sand soaking up the sun when I smell Island. When I'm smelling it, I'm taken away to another place in time. It makes me think about the crytal-clear-blue ocean, but it isn't aquatic.

The opening isn't overpowering at all. I definitely smell the bulgarian roses and the lilies. The floral scent is quite exotic. I also smell the fruitiness of the apples in the drydown as well as the warmth of the jasmine. Mmm, YUMMY! I'm a sucker for notes of jasmine and rose.

I would definitely recommned Island to a friend. It's exotic, extremely fresh, and worn best in the summer, perhaps during a vacation.

Island is on the borderline between being an aquatic and a fruity floral. Unfortunately those are not my favourite fragrance genres, so clearly Island isn't the scent for me. But apart from that this fragrance has some admirable qualities.

The scent is very fresh yet vibrant. It does indeed evoke a sense of a holiday on a tropical island, it gives you that chance to escape to a different world.

The heart and the drydown reminds me of Ralph by Ralph Lauren, possibly because of the apple and jasmine notes.

Apart from being fresh, Island is also a sweet scent, but not overly sweet like a candy shop, only very subtle.

I will admit that I too find this scent a little artificial and synthetic smelling, however it is difficult to produce these kinds of scents without getting this result. Although fake, it doesn't mean that this fragrance can't be worn and enjoyed by others. I personally think that on a person with the right skin chemistry, Island would smell like paradise.

I have owned this fragrance for a couple of years. It reminds me of a remote tropical island.

Aquatic, flowery and sour. Nothing unique for me, although it could be a pleasant fragrance for the hot summer days.

Moszatka

What a great aquatic perfume! Really lovely and fresh with a hint of apple and ginger, which gives a sepcially accord. I close my eyes and fells like the smells of sea and coloured flowers. Perfect summer fragrance for a hot summer day!

veronique

I love marine scents and this one is quite interesting,
tropical sweet floral, very breezy and light. Perfect for a summer day.

Had this and returned it.I really liked the bottle but the perfume is really synthetic smelling without much character.I have my EA Mediterranean for a marine scent and I prefer it much more!MK could have done better!

Wearing it today and yet again it has given me a headache(hits the sinuses for some reason). Clean yet not fresh. Bit too artificial but I will pursue with it as it eventually can settle down to soft marine scent.

Enchantia

I tested this at the MK counter and didn't like it. It smells funny and gives me a chest pain about a minute after I sniff it. The discomfort lingers on long after I left the counter. It'll probably smell great on someone else but for me it's a definite no-no.

I got this as a gift and it's ok but not one I reach for alot. It does smell aquatic to me and has a summery scent. The color and shape of the bottle is pretty I think.

Aeternitas

Different, but I don't like it. It has a weird smell in it I can't put my finger on. I think it may be violet? It also smells very fake, it's just not blended together very well.
