The review

Island of the Sea scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Island.

Scentual Obsessions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Island's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Scentual Obsessions 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

Bond No. 9 Island is coconut, bergamot and mandarin orange at first, tiare flower, ylang-ylang and jasmine at its heart and sandalwood, vanilla and musk at the end. Scentual Obsessions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Coconut and tiare over creamy sandalwood, the house on holiday.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
