Mojito Vibes
Opening
Almost piercingly fresh lime including lime peel, has a slight solvent touch in the first minute. Fortunately, that fades quickly, leaving pure and highly concentrated lime with a lot of acidity.
Drydown
It smells like a finished Mojito, primarily lime mixed with some brown sugar, overall the scent becomes a bit lighter and creamier. Probably due to the white flowers and coconut, although you can't explicitly smell them.
Base
The lime remains present all the way into the base, a bit of musk joins in and then the scent is gone.
Sillage/Duration: rather weak, after 3-4 hours I can't smell anything on my skin.
For those who want to spend a little less money, you can try Malibu - Party in the Bay. I have both and they smell 95% identical.

Direct Comparison with Creed Virgin Island Water
Since I have both Malibu and Virgin Island Water in my collection, I thought I would compare them directly. So I sprayed them at the same time, one on the right arm, one on the left. You are welcome :)
In summary: Do you really need both? The answer is no. I’ll remember that for myself. Both mainly smell of lime with a bit of brown sugar and have mojito vibes.
Opening
VIW - almost piercing fresh lime including lime peel, has a slight solvent touch in the first minute. Fortunately, that fades quickly, then it’s pure lime and highly concentrated with a lot of acidity.
Malibu - The lime is a bit softer, but nicely present and delicious. A little sweeter and gentler than VIW.
Drydown
VIW - It smells like a drunk mojito, mainly lime mixed with a bit of brown sugar, overall the scent becomes a bit brighter and creamier. Probably due to the white flowers and coconut, although you can't specifically smell them.
Malibu - This scent also becomes a bit sweeter and smells like a drunk mojito. You mainly smell lime and sugar, I can't detect rum or coconut.
Base
VIW - The lime remains present into the base, a bit of musk joins in and then the scent is gone.
Malibu - I can't smell sandalwood or rum, the top and heart notes simply weaken and are also gone soon.
Sillage/ Longevity: both are rather weak, after 3-4 hours I can't smell anything on my skin.
Conclusion: Both scents are very similar in their vibe and structure. There are minimal differences that I think you can only detect with a direct comparison. So it’s enough to buy one of them :)
