Virgin Island Water (for women and men)

Designer: Creed Olfactive Group: Citrus

Oliver Creed and his son Erwin found an inspiration for their new perfume Virgin Island Water in beauty of distant islands, which are so gorgeous, romantic and wild. The new unisex perfume is warm, sweet and citrusy. It opens with a citrusy cocktail of white bergamot, Jamaican lime, Sicilian mandarin. Citruses are accompanied by a note of coconut. The heart includes intensive Indian jasmine and sweet hibiscus, exotic ylang-ylang and cold, spicy ginger. The base of the composition includes musk and white rum. The perfume was created in 2006. The noses behind this fragrance are Olivier Creed and Erwin Creed.

It's not subtle. It's not an ethereal dream. This is a fun vacation fling. This is meeting a tanned hottie on a carribean beach. His skin is salty, hebuys you a lime dacquiri, and you dance the night away with him while wearing creamy tropical flowers in your hair.

Lovers and haters. That's what I tought when I read the other reviews. Unfortunately when this happenes it is impossible to get your own picture based upon such strongly sided reviews.
Therefor I will try to keep mine as neutral and unisex as possible.

First off it is a caipirinha inspired fragrance. Inspired because when one smells it they will not feel any urge to drink it. It is clearly recogniced as perfume. Whatsoever it might make one or another think of caipirinha.
Although Virgin Island Water is much more than caipirinha let's start from there:
Imagine the taste of caipirinha as a fragrance, add some musk, unsweetened coconut and last but not least bergamot.
This will get you very close to the smell keep in mind that in this case those ingredients together build a new whole. If you don't know the ingredienty you will hardly be able to detect any of them (most possibly only the citrus).
When your brain can't connect the smell to a specific ingretient it will connect it to personal things; experiences, memories, emotions... It will take the closest it can find and for every person this will be a different one.
Now it is no surprise that some will find it masculine, some feminine, some find it sweet although it isn't and some compare it to toilet air freshner while others feel like they are sitting on a tropical beach.
My advice is try before you buy. Especially because it is not exactly cheap.
But I do recommend to try it to find out your individual and personal connection. You might end up loving, finding a new signature fragrance but you might just as well hate the picture your brain draws for you...

What the hell is this?! A COCONUT fragrance?!! This is just awful. Who would ever spray this on their skin?? It smells it would be more appropriate as a bathroom/toilet spray for when a guest stinks up the place. But why pay $120 for that?! Come to think of it, why not go to your local supermarket, pick up an aerosol can of Glade air freshener and spray that on yourself - it'll smell the same and cost about 1/25 the price.

For the four hours that VIW existed, I was intoxicated by its seraphic melody of tropical notes. The opening fusion of citrus and coconut sets the tone for its entire lifespan, and the only evolution involves the citrus gaining the ascendancy after the first hour. As a warm weather fragrance, this is almost peerless, but there are obvious caveats. Given its price and brevity, this remains a luxury item, an indulgence. Nevertheless, for its sheer joie de vivre, I lovingly applaud it.

This is my new love! Great blend of tart lime and soft coconut and very long lasting too. Not too sweet not too masculine, just a perfect tropical mix that makes you believe you are on a tropical island. And let me add that I'm not usually a fan of coconutty of fruity perfumes. This one is different to your usual sweet-fruitpunch-tropical-island-perfume.I bought the giant 120 ml bottle, and it's well worth of the price.

Fragrance as sweet as a candy. The scent last just half an hour. After it seems just like a bath cream.
If you want some fragrance that really make you feel on a tropical beach try REM or... much, much better ETOILE DE REM. Even if I'm a male and Etoile is a fragrance for women I wear it often and many, many males like it and want to know its name. SHHHH... it's a secrete!

I love this stuff. I don't normally do this but when I tried this at a perfume shop, I already had on a fragrance and just so happedned it was Tommy Bahama: set sail south seas, and it didn't clash, it went together nicely. This is definitely a good buy. I STRONGLY recomend this.

This is my "pretend I am on a Caribbean beach" fragrance, when I am feeling trapped in Toronto. It smells even better on my husband.
