Vacation Paradise in a Bottle
Just as the name states, the fragrance is reminisce to a summer holiday at an island or a beach. When applying for the first time, you are greeted by a distinguishable lime scent. Overtime as it dries down, you’re enveloped by a coconut essence which is smoothen by other ingredients such as ylang-ylang and Indian Jasmine.
Personally, from using 4-5 sprays on the skin, this doesn’t last long (approx. 3-6 hours). However, keep in mind your skin type may allow the fragrance to latch on longer or even shorter than what I experienced. I experimented with vaseline and the fragrance remained fresher and longer for about 1-2 hours, so you could try this to see if the longevity improves for you.
Projection is not too great, even during the initial 1-2 hours. My colleagues notice the scent at most a meter. After 2-3 hours the scent becomes close to the skin so you wouldn’t notice it on me unless we’re standing face to face. Again, could be the skin type.
So why am I giving this a 5/5 when the performance isn’t the greatest? Easy, its because its special to me. Whilst you can find a fragrance thats popular, sophisticated, and high performance, its a lot harder to find one that you thoroughly enjoy from start to finish because it brings back some special memories that only you would know (and maybe those whom you shared those memories with). So for me its a very nostalgic and sentimental scent. There are other limey and coconut like fragrance in the market, but none I’ve found is…

Exotic Bliss
Virgin Island Water by Creed, is (in my humble opinion) one of the brands most exquisite and well-crafted scents. It is simultaneously fresh and invigorating; whilst also being underpinned by a warm, sulty and sensual skin scent. If you love Tom Ford 'Soleil Blanc', then this will blow your mind.
