The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Sun-Kissed Island by Zaharoff, launched in 2025 and crafted by perfumer Claude Dir, is a Floral Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of an island escape. The opening notes of ginger and lime create a vibrant freshness, while seaweed and mint add a subtle marine twist. At its heart, jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang evoke sun-drenched fields, supported by tequila's warm sweetness and coconut milk's creamy richness. The base of skin musk, blonde woods, and amber provides a grounding warmth that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply Sun-Kissed Island with two sprays to capture both its fresh opening and warm base notes. The marine top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so reapply for a full day of island vibes. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across the room.
