A plush vanilla wrapped in warm spice, Island Vanilla Dunes opens with a creamy swirl of vanilla dusted in cinnamon and brightened by cardamom and bergamot. As it moves across skin, orange blossom and guaiac wood add a softly floral woodiness with a subtle bourbon glow before a delectable base of praline, amber, and musk settles into a long-lasting, cozy trail that feels both elegant and inviting.

Story and Positioning
Island Vanilla Dunes expands Khadlaj’s Island line, joining Island from 2024 and Island Dreams from 2025, with a sweeter gourmand signature dialed to Extrait de Parfum strength for comfortable everyday wear and effortless compliments. Many fragrance lovers compare its creamy vanilla cinnamon profile to icons such as Parfums de Marly Althaïr, along with wallet-friendly takes like French Avenue Liquid Brun, Lattafa Art of Nature II, Armaf Monarque, and Afnan Historic Sahara, making this a smart value choice if you enjoy that modern ambered vanilla style.
Bottle and Design
The bottle presents a refined rectangle with beveled shoulders and a tactile crosshatch texture that catches the light. A deep charcoal to amber gradient echoes sun-warmed dunes, while a framed gold plaque carries the Island wordmark above the Khadlaj signature. The tall gold cap has a grippy geometric pattern for a satisfying lift. The presentation box continues the dune theme with flowing sand motifs picked out in gold.
