What wearers say
“This is definitely a scent that's close to VIW. You can certainly get the same notes as VIW, lime, rum, sea salt and a hint of coconut. I just received it today. What separates CW is the longevity and projection. VIW just doesn't last very long. Even being almost November here in Canada, this stuff is still projecting and lasting like crazy for my first test.”
“This is one beast of a perfume. You understand at first sniff it's going to last a whole day. Very summery. Takes you immediately to your most favorite tropical paradise as soon as you put it on. Since this is only 30 ml, if you calculate Creed's original 120 ml bottle, the price is not that different. But this one easily outperforms Creed by twice as much since it's perfume extract. So you get twice for your buck if not more if you go with Caribbean Waters.”
“It is close to Virgin Island Water. The lime is first just like VIW, then coconut then sugar cane then rum. It doesn't smell exactly like VIW when you smell it close up on your skin. Maybe 70% similar and harsher. But as I'm typing this and it's projecting off my hand, it smells about 95% similar.”
