Citrus
Lemon Island is a new addition to the AC’s citrus family. The perfume is high on raw goods of natural origin.
Only three notes are listed: lemon, jasmine and vanilla. The lemon note is actually very pleasant. It does not feel like someone squeezed lemon in your face. The lemony vibe feels green, more like a blade of wet lemongrass. I do like the opening. Later on, the floral side of the fragrance comes through, and the composition is finished with warmer and sweeter tones of vanilla.
It is easy to wear, nice, balanced. Lemon Island definitely feels tropical without going overboard. There is almost “pina colada” touch to it. It feels like a bar somewhere in Maledives. You are slowly sipping a cocktail and enjoying the tranquil stunning view of the ocean. It is a grown-up aroma, not your typical fruity Escada or Beyonce.
The only issue I find is that it does not last. You get about two hours out of it. The projection is intimate too; and, considering the price tag, it is not okay. I wish it was stronger.
Lemon Island is your tropical fresh citrus but upgraded with class and elegance.
