Alexandria Fragrances Hawaii Volcano is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Hawaii Volcano opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Lime, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. Alexandria Fragrances's Hawaii Volcano carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive tropical cocktail in a bottle. Expect to either adore its vibrant, lime-heavy coconut or find it leans too much into cleaning product territory. It’s also infamous for its uncanny resemblance to a much pricier Creed, often sparking heated debate over which performs better.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Hawaii Volcano explodes with a zesty, almost carbonated hit of lime and bergamot, quickly followed by a creamy, tropical coconut accord that conjures pina coladas and sun-drenched beaches. Hints of jasmine and ylang-ylang add a soft, floral warmth before settling into a clean, musky, and subtle woody base. This isn't a shy scent; it's a bold, fruity escape that lingers.
