The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Island Away by Victoria's Secret, launched in 2021, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of a serene island escape. The composition opens with a striking coconut note that evokes sun-kissed shores and tropical vibes. This freshness seamlessly transitions into a heart of sweet lactonic accords and nutty nuances, adding depth and warmth to the scent. The base notes of vanilla and woody elements ground the fragrance, creating a comforting and enveloping atmosphere.

How to wear it

Apply Island Away to your pulse points for a warm and enveloping experience. The fragrance opens with a bright coconut note that fades within an hour, so reapply after two hours if you want to prolong its tropical essence. Best suited for evenings or cooler days when the vanilla base can shine without overpowering.
