Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Virgin Island Water EDP
The ultimate coconut-lime summer cocktail in a bottle, Virgin Island Water is pure vacation with a creamy twist. Performance is disappointing but the scent delivers unbeatable tropical freshness and easygoing, crowd-pleasing charm.

Our Verdict - St. Thomas EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Creed Virgin Island Water (2007) - white rum, ginger and sugar cane translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Virgin Island Water

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Virgin Island Water is built for heat and humidity, with a photorealistic lime and creamy coconut that shines in spring and especially summer. Its ultra-fresh, tropical profile feels out of place in cold weather or autumnal moods.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

This scent is carefree, uplifting, and unintrusive, making it ideal for casual wear, vacations, and summer outings. Its low projection suits close encounters and dates, but it lacks the gravitas for formal settings and may be too playful for the office.
