The review
On paper, Island is a reasonable bet if you want Le Beau Le Parfum for less.
Khadlaj sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Beau Le Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $40 it costs 67% less than Le Beau Le Parfum.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Khadlaj publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on cinnamon and coconut, turns to immortelle and Tonka Bean, and settles into benzoin and Ambroxan. That is the brief Island is working from.
Top
- cinnamon
- coconut
Heart
- immortelle
- Tonka Bean
Base
- benzoin
- Ambroxan
Le Beau turned up — cinnamon and coconut over balsamic tonka and amber.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Le Parfum we can price, Island is number 3 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Perfume Parlour Beau Intense For Men 2235 $83/100ml
- 02 Bujairami Young OG $32.50
