Khadlaj Island Dreams is a beautifully blended extrait de parfum that truly lives up to its name. From the first spray, you’re greeted with a bright, juicy burst of fruit that feels fresh and uplifting without being overly sweet. As it settles, the floral heart comes through smoothly, adding an elegant and slightly creamy touch that keeps the fragrance balanced and refined. What really stands out is the dry-down; warm woody notes wrapped in soft musk that feel clean, comforting, and effortlessly luxurious. The projection is noticeable but not overpowering, and the longevity is excellent; it easily lasts all day and well into the evening. On top of the quality, the value here is fantastic. For a 3.4-oz extrait de parfum with such complexity, performance, and versatility, this delivers way more than you’d expect at its price point. You’re getting a premium scent experience without blowing your budget and it is about 95% close to the OG which I have sampled but could not justify getting for the price. Perfectly unisex, Island Dreams works in any season and for almost any occasion, whether casual or dressed up. If you’re looking for a long-lasting, versatile fragrance with a tropical yet sophisticated vibe that’s worth every penny, this one is an absolute winner. Highly recommended. Read more
I love this scent. On me it is very grapefruit forward and slightly masculineusky undertone. If you are a woman I like layering it with Rave Now and it tones down the citrus and adds a bit of femininity. I don't get pinesol vibes at all as others have said. It is citrus heavy but very beautiful. It is also long lasting. Read more
This is a great perfume if you live somewhere hot and humid as we go into the summer. Super refreshing, and thanks to the high oil concentration it actually lasts! If you like fresh summery fragrances, I think this is a safe blind buy. Read more
Overall, it's a nice scent. I know people say it's a Meteore clone but I'm getting more of a Pacific Chill scent. There's a very apricot-like note to my nose. I'm not a fan of Pacific Chill because of that apricot scent, so I'm not really a fan of this one, either. Objectively, though, it's a good fragrance. It has pretty good longevity and decent sillage. I gave my bottle to my daughter. Read more
Very nice product if you like long lasting and strong smell value for your money. Read more
I really wanted to love this fragrance, especially after reading so many positive reviews, but unfortunately, it was a disappointment for me. First, the positives: the bottle quality and design are excellent, and the spray actuator (the way the perfume sprays) is very smooth and even. It feels well-made and higher-end than I expected. When first applied, the scent is pleasant and fresh, with a strong citrus note. However, to my nose, it leaned more toward a cleaner-type citrus, similar to something you might smell in a kitchen or bathroom, rather than a wearable, evolving perfume. The scent also never really “settled” on my skin in a way I enjoyed. This fragrance is advertised as an EDP, so I expected significantly better performance. The biggest issue for me is longevity. Despite “long-lasting” being part of the product description, the scent did not even last two hours on my skin. I applied it to multiple areas and even reapplied, but after only a couple of hours in a normal office environment, it was nearly gone. I only noticed because I went to show a coworker my new fragrance and realized it had almost completely disappeared. Projection was also very limited. Within the first 1–2 hours, the scent stayed extremely close to the skin, my coworker had to bring my arm directly to her nose to smell it, which was surprising considering I had just complimented her on her perfume that was noticeable simply walking past her. In terms of value for money, this was disappointing. At $45, I would have considered this reasonably priced if the scent had lasted. However, I own Bath & Body Works body sprays that outperform this in both longevity and projection, which is especially frustrating given the “long-lasting” claim. I know fragrance is very subjective, and this may work beautifully for others. However, for me, the lack of longevity and performance, especially for an EDP, was a major letdown and ultimately a dealbreaker. I also wish returns were an option, as I would not have kept this based on wear. Because longevity is one of the most important qualities I look for in a perfume, I wouldn’t repurchase this scent.

Smells great! definitely needs to macerate for a couple of days but smells really similar to LV symphony on the dry down, in my opinion. Regardless, i love the smell! Great cologne for the price Read more
Honestly disappointed in this scent. With how much it is hyped as a LV Symphony dupe, I'm not a fan of it. Smells like a very citrusy cleaning product. It's not bad, but it's not for me. It smells okay on paper, soso on my skin at least. Might work for some people as scents always smell different on different people, but as is, I cannot recommend this if you're looking to blind buy. It's a bit weak, minimal projection, and longevity also seems to be weak. Since I can't return it, it'll most likely be used as an overpriced air freshener. Read more
