Malibu - Party in the Bay

“Compared to VIW, party in the bay is very similar at opening, maybe more citrusy where VIW has more coconut softness. performance is very similar as well, disappointingly short. Key difference is dry down after 2-3 hours party in the bay smells like cheap lemon perfume. While Creed VIW fades more, but doesn’t have that cheap synthetic smell. Just a softer version of how it started. Here linear performance wins.”

“Basic tropical coconut forward scent. This would be ok if you didn't own any other tropical coconutty fragrances. After drydown this reminds me of DUA's Lava Flow Cocktail; Malibu is much brighter as a result of the initial lime blast, but is identical after drydown.Also this does not smell like VIW (maybe for a few minutes); VIW is a much more balanced Coconut/Lime scent from beginning to drydown, with that sugary rum in the backround. This fragrance is like 95% coconut after drydown which is ok if that's what your after. DUA Lava Flow Cocktail is a much cheaper alternative to this.”

“This one would be my nr 2 favorite out of entire line. Strictly spring-summer scent. Very similar to Creed but has much better projection and longevity. Well done and has a nice balance to it. Unisex to the core. Longevity is great, sillage is somewhere between 1-1,5 meters.”
