Creed’s Virgin Island Water captures the uplifting essence of Caribbean sunshine when tropical breezes meet crystal-clear waters. This Eau de Parfum blends vibrant citrus, creamy coconut, and exotic florals to evoke sun-drenched shores glistening under endless blue skies.
Development, From Tropical Cocktail to Exotic Warmth
Virgin Island Water opens with a sparkling burst of zesty lime and bright bergamot that dances like sunlight on azure waves. Tropical fruits add a cocktail-like effervescence that suggests the first sip of a beach bar creation. As the fragrance settles, creamy coconut milk and coconut water create a luxurious tropical heart, while Indian jasmine and white flowers lend exotic floral depth. In the dry down, white rum and sugar cane emerge alongside tonka bean and white musk, evoking the warm embrace of Caribbean sunset hours.
