Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Island by Clandestine Laboratories opens with a bold mix of pepper, yuzu, and the smoky essence of tobacco, evoking the rawness of urban nights. As it develops, you'll catch hints of juniper and floral undertones, layered over a grounding touch of oakmoss and incense. The base notes of musk and a subtle sweetness from vanilla suggest warmth, creating a rich tapestry of experiences reminiscent of crisp marine air and fleeting moments. Island takes you on a sensory journey from the gritty streets to serene introspection, making it profoundly unique.
