Inspired by a family sailing trip off the blue waters of Ginger Island in the Caribbean, this fragrance has the exotic freshness and the tropical splendour carried by the Trade Winds of Sir Francis Drake Channel. Summers spent exploring the wide-open seas, the picturesque crystal blue waters, the hot sun – a summer of paradise. Virgin Island Water is an intoxicating summer scent that balances a refreshing Citrus cocktail with the creamy summer scent of Coconut – it will immediately transport you to the bright blue waters of a summer adventure.

HOW IT WEARS
Virgin Island Water is an Eau de Parfum so we generally get around 6 – 8 hours wear on the skin, This fragrance is absolutely summer in a bottle, the opening is a citrus hit (particularly Lime) that uplifts and refreshes and then the Coconut note comes in to balance the zesty citrus with the creamy Coconut. As it dries down the Musk and Rum come out, leaving us feeling like we are sat with the most delicious tropical cocktail.
LORE LOVES
Virgin Island Water is the scent of a rambunctious and lovable pirate, think Jack Sparrow, he’s smelling slightly of the Rum from the night before but has covered it us with Citrus, Coconut and some Musk to refresh himself. Not particularly boozy, the Rum just softens the overall tone of the scent providing some summertime fun that we love!

Frankie –
Holy coconuts! Coconuts, coconuts and more coconuts. Lovely florals, citrus and rum balance out the coconut. This is one fragrance made for the summer.

As long as you love limes, coconuts, pina colada cocktails, this is the best. What an evocative summertime fragrance. Wish it lasted longer.
