Fragrance
Creed Virgin Island Water, Sample
Inspired by a family sailing holiday in the Caribbean, this quintessential summer fragrance captures the tropical beauty and aromas sweeping through the air of Sir Francis Drake Channel. It opens with a refreshing burst of citrus, where the bright, sharp tang of Jamaican lime and the lively zest of Sicilian mandarin dance in harmony with the crisp bite of white bergamot. This invigorating trio sets the stage for a luscious, sun-soaked experience, evoking the carefree spirit of a sun-dappled beach.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals a lush bouquet of exotic florals. The warm, spicy undertones of ginger weave seamlessly with the creamy richness of ylang-ylang and the intoxicating allure of Indian jasmine. Soft, fruity nuances of hibiscus add a sweet, tropical touch, enhancing the floral notes with a gentle, velvety embrace. This aromatic blend creates a vibrant yet serene atmosphere, reminiscent of a gentle breeze rustling through palm trees.
The dry-down introduces a sensual base where the smooth, creamy essence of coconut mingles with the sweet, intoxicating warmth of white rum. The subtle sweetness of sugar cane intertwines with the soft musk, leaving a lingering trail that captures the essence of a tranquil sunset. This fragrance, with its harmonious interplay of notes, encapsulates the joy and relaxation of a perfect day spent in paradise.
