Island Blackstrap

Island Blackstrap presents a rich, gourmand tropical scent that leans heavily into coconut, molasses, and rum-like sweetness. The opening features a bold burst of sweetness reminiscent of butterscotch and syrupy piña colada, with a distinct ashy, smoky undercurrent reported by some users. As it dries down, the fragrance evolves into a more wearable, woody-earthy profile dominated by vetiver and oak, offering a balanced sillage that is neither overpowering nor faint. The scent is best appreciated in warmer months, particularly during summer, and most commonly worn during the day. While some find it synthetic or overly sweet, others praise its unique atmospheric quality—evoking memories of tropical vacations, seaside boutiques, or even airy beachside bars. Its long-lasting presence and elegant transformation from sweet to earthy make it a standout among tropical fragrances.
