The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.

Heavier molecules that evaporate slowly, like woods, musk, amber and oud. They are there from the start, and they are what remains once the rest has faded.

Opening with pineapple, ginger and iris, Island by Khadlaj settles into a coconut and woodsy heart before a warm tonka, sandalwood and amber base. A sweet, tropical, unisex Eau de Parfum. On Fragrantica, 48% of wearers call its longevity moderate, with another 39% rating it long lasting.
Island leads with a sweet, fruity accord (rated the strongest character of the fragrance) layered over woody and coconut facets, with amber, vanilla and tropical touches underneath. Fragrantica's community accord chart puts sweet at full strength, woody close behind, then coconut, amber, fruity, vanilla, tropical and a soft powdery note trailing off. It reads as a rich, sun-warmed tropical scent rather than a sharp or green one.
The opening is pineapple, iris, ginger and cypress - a bright, slightly spiced fruit start. Through the heart, coconut and woodsy notes take over, softening the fruit into something creamier. The base settles into tonka, sandalwood, amber and ambergris, giving Island a warm, slightly sweet finish that lingers longer than the opening suggests.
Fragrantica's community voting (1,913 longevity votes) puts Island mostly in the moderate-to-long-lasting range: 48% call it moderate and 39% long lasting, with smaller groups reporting it eternal (3%) or weak (7%). On sillage (1,866 votes), 63% describe it as moderate and 23% as strong, so it projects noticeably without being overpowering.
Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes lean warm-weather: 45% of voters pick summer and 36% spring, against 13% autumn and 6% winter. The coconut and tropical fruit notes fit that pattern - Island reads as a warm-season scent first.
FG lists Island as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting leans toward more male/male (56% and 18%), with 23% calling it unisex and a small female share - not a decisive enough split to call it strictly gendered, and the fragrance was originally marketed for both women and men, so it stays unisex here.
Fragrantica's community-voted "reminds me of" list places Le Beau Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier at the top - a reference point for buyers who know that brand's take on coconut and tropical woods. Island shares its warm, sweet-woody shape rather than copying it note for note. It also shows up on the "reminds me of" list for Najdia Intense, a Lattafa fragrance FG carries, for buyers comparing the two side by side.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
