The fragrance opens with clear lime and citrus, but switches far too quickly into a dense, very sweet coconut cream that occasionally creates the vibes of a bathroom air freshener. For summer, the coconut note is too sweet and almost suffocating.
Compared directly to Creed Virgin Island Water, this fragrance does last longer and projects more strongly, but VIW smells worlds more elegant and softer, and conveys that authentic, carefree summer vibe - like a day under palm trees with a Piña Colada in hand and a light sea breeze.
Overall, I didn’t really like the fragrance. However, I can recommend it to younger people who enjoy loud, sweet fragrances.
