Virgin Island Water captures the carefree pleasure of an island escape, pairing tropical sweetness with bright, breezy citrus. Essence of copra, the white inner flesh of coconut, and coconut toddy, derived from sweet palm sap, mingle with Antillean lime, white bergamot and Sicilian mandarin. Hibiscus, ginger, ylang-ylang and Indian jasmine bring floral warmth to the heart, while sugar cane, Antillean white rum and Tonkin musk create a softly sweet, sun-warmed finish.
Notes: Essence of copra, coconut toddy, Antillean lime, white bergamot, Sicilian mandarin orange, Hibiscus, ginger, ylang-ylang, Indian jasmine, Sugar cane, Antillean white rum and Tonkin musk.
Reviewers describe Virgin Island Water as a polished tropical escape, blending bright lime and citrus with creamy coconut, soft florals and a touch of spicy ginger. Some find a refreshing rum-like warmth, while others perceive little booziness, emphasizing its fresh, natural-smelling character instead. Beach holidays and carefree summer days are recurring associations, though one reviewer also enjoys it in colder weather. Projection is described as noticeable but restrained, gradually settling closer to the skin over the following hours.

This opens with a bright and fresh lime and quickly after follows the creamy and authentic scent of coconut. The scent slowly develops and the ginger and flower notes appear. Overall I really enjoy this "vacation in a bottle" because it isn't plasticky or fake like many coconut/ island smell perfumes tend to turn out. This is slightly sweet but not overwhelmingly so, kind of creamy as well. If I close my eyes and smell this I swear I was in a big sailboat sailing around the Caribbean sea catching the smells of the gorgeous native plants from all around. It is great on me, a woman, but I can imagine it smelling just as interesting on a man's skin. Silage is kind of quiet but so much that it isn't noticeable and the staying power is about 3.5 hrs until it really starts to disappear. I'm so glad I finally was able to try a sample! 4 stars only due to the ok lasting power.
