Which Should You Buy?
Firey Island chases Bond No.9's Fire Island - that famous beach-and-suntan-lotion solar accord of ozone, neroli and creamy tuberose. The dupe nails the sunscreen-on-warm-skin vibe but renders it thinner and a little more synthetic, with the musky-floral base less rounded and longevity dialled down from Bond's marathon wear.
This one's proper divisive: a love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's the ultimate beach-holiday in a bottle, perfectly capturing sun-warmed skin and expensive lotion. Others just get a synthetic, harsh whiff of hairspray or even cleaning products.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The solar ozone-neroli-suntan accord is pure summer and feels out of place in cold weather.
Occasions
Breezy, beachy and unserious - it's a casual daytime and holiday scent rather than formal or office wear.
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its strong projection and summery beach vibe make it perfect for casual settings and dates, but potentially too distracting for the office. The clear 'sunscreen' association means it's not a go-to for formal events.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share White Floral, Musky, Aromatic accords and Cardamom, Tuberose notes
