Creed Virgin Island Water

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit.

It opens on coconut, lime and white bergamot, moves through ginger, ylang-ylang and indian jasmine, and settles on white rum, sugar cane and musk.

• coconut: creamy and sweet, with a suncream quality
• lime: sharp green citrus, more bitter and less sweet than lemon

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
