Creed Virgin Island Water Cologne is a fresh fragrance that was created to celebrate a sailing adventure to Ginger Island, part of the Caribbean Islands. This fragrance will take you straight to the best vacation you ever had on an island paradise, the cool breezes blowing across a frosty rum punch, the tropical flowers blowing in the ocean breeze. Notes of coconut, lime, bergamot, mandarin, orange, hibiscus, ginger, ylang, jasmine, sugar, rum, tonkin musk.
from influenster - "It's the perfect classy men's tropical vacation scent. Lime and coconut without smelling boozy or cheap."
"When I imagine the perfect fresh summer fragrance, this is it. There is a combination of exotic citruses that blends together with that meaty white coconut; then, this light, spicy ginger and florals - like jasmine - come together seamlessly."
from apetogentlman - "If this UK weather is playing havoc with your positivity. And you’re reminiscing about that glorious sun-filled, summer holiday back in July. Then Creed Virgin Island Water might just be the tonic. Dubbed, “The ultimate holiday fragrance” it’s plethora of intoxicating tropical summer scents are inspired by the Trade Winds. Imagine floating across the sky blue, equatorial waters of the Caribbean."
from other reviewers - "Take Virgin Island Water with you if you’re expecting a refreshing, boozy trip to the beach, or if you’re stuck in the office dreaming of one. The notes that take the spotlight—coconut, rum and lime—help improve the experience for us because of its natural quality. It projects nicely, but not too much, and quickly progresses as a skin scent in the passing hours. Virgin Island Water works as great in the summer as it would in the cold."

Very nice scent. Very much a tropical vibe. I only give it a 4 stars because of the fairly poor longevity (3-4 hours tops on me). This really shines in high heat (30+C or 90+ F). I think everyone should at least give this a try since it works in high heat, or has you thinking of a tropical vacation during the depths of winter.
Daniel Craig's signature scent, VIW is rum, lime, and coconut -- a tropical vacation in a bottle. It's a wonderful smell, especially during the summer when it really shines. However, at retail, VIW isn't worth it to me, as its overall performance (longevity and projection) both suffer, probably due to the natural ingredients used in its making. In the sub-hundred dollar range, you can pick up Laboratory Perfume's Gorse, which is identical to VIW, but without the rum. If you really like the rum, and appreciate how it compliments both the lime and the coconut, VIW is the only worthy alternative.

I’m getting coconut (like).....lime? (like).....and then something that’s either alcohol or another medicinal quality. (Oof.) I know what they’re going for. I’m feeling you, Creed. I love where you’re going with this one. You’re throwing a fastball down the middle, and then it curves out at the end, out of my strike zone. I just can’t put the bat on the ball. I think some guys are gonna wear this extremely well. Think summer, think islands, think linen shirts. I’m telling you, this is right for someone. I wish it were me.
The opening scent was very astringent, and took a long time to dry down. After it did the fragrances not very strong and did not last long, I was not impressed and was very disappointed because I heard a lot of good things about this fragrance. It may just react badly with my skin.
Im new to colognes/perfume but this is definitely one of my favourites. A very natural and sweet smell that isnt over powering, I can see how it's unisex but as a man I'd wear this in particular instances for sure. Definitely recommend it if you like sweet smelling perfumes
This is a great casual summer scent that has a more natural smell to it as opposed to a synthetic sweet mixed drink kind of smell. My GF thought it smelled a little like a slightly unrefined women's perfume, I think because of the more natural ingredients that may be used. As a man, I think it can certainly be worn by men, but may be a little more versatile and at home on a woman in the summer.
Fantastic for summer and really long lasting. I wasn't sure I'd like something sweet and heavily scented with coconut but the lime really makes a change. The rum is really pronounced too on my skin so it adds to the whole "exotic island experience"
This fragrance smells amazing in warmer weather the hotter it is outside the better it smells iam certaintly going to purchase full bottle.
