Mango, coconut and warm woods
Island Sun is a Khadlaj Eau de Parfum that pairs juicy mango and pink pepper with coconut and tonka bean over a base of precious woods. It is listed as a fruity gourmand for men and women. Tropical perfumes depend on skin and climate, so FragranceGems fills Island Sun as a decant in 2, 5 or 10 ml before you take on the full 100 ml.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Mango with a pinch of pepper
Mango and pink pepper begin the perfume. The mango is the juicy, sunny part, and the pink pepper keeps it from becoming plain fruit by adding a dry, lightly spicy edge. Expect the fruit to be strongest in the first few minutes.
-
Coconut and tonka bean
In the heart, coconut and tonka bean take over. Coconut gives a creamy, tropical softness, and tonka bean adds a warm, sweet depth. Together they turn the bright opening into something rounder, which is the point at which many people decide whether they like it.
-
Precious woods
The base is recorded simply as precious woods, with no single wood named. That leaves a warm, dry foundation under the fruit and the coconut. Because the wood is not specified, the decant is the best way to see how that foundation feels on you.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Wear it on a warm day to see the mango and coconut at their brightest, and again on a cooler evening to see what the woods do. Apply to clean skin and wait a few minutes before judging. The listed seasons include summer, autumn and winter, so you can test it in whichever is closest.
Who it is for
Island Sun suits people who like sunny, fruity perfumes with a creamy side, for daily wear, evenings or a special day out. It is listed as unisex. It is also a good test case for anyone unsure whether tropical sweetness still works outside the summer.
Why try Khadlaj Island Sun as a sample first
Fruit and coconut can be lovely in a bottle and strange on skin, and the woods are described only in general terms. A 2, 5 or 10 ml decant settles that. FragranceGems fills the vial from the original bottle and labels it, Khadlaj plays no part in it, and it is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
Which notes are recorded for Island Sun?
Mango and pink pepper, coconut and tonka bean, and precious woods. No other notes are claimed on this page.
Is it a summer perfume only?
It is listed for summer, autumn and winter, so it is not tied to one season. The decant lets you try it in the weather you actually wear it in.
Why does the base only say precious woods?
That is how the base is recorded, without naming a specific wood. We keep to the record rather than guess, and your own nose is the best judge of the finish.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
