[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This week has been quite hectic for me as I’m preparing to visit my parents and then Max, packing in content creation before my trips. The fragrance that caught my attention recently is Creed Virgin Island Water. This scent, with its tranquil notes, was the first fragrance that made me realize perfumes could evoke more than just a pleasant aroma. Inspired by a sailing trip in the Caribbean near Ginger Island, Olivier Creed captured the essence of sun-warmed vegetation mingling with salty water in this fragrance.

Fragrance brands often draw inspiration from various sources, but Virgin Island Water feels authentic. It combines citrusy notes with a hint of coconut, a milky undertone, and a touch of rum and jasmine. This blend creates a sense of serenity and contentment, reminiscent of basking in warmth and calmness. The 50ml bottle is priced at £185, falling in the luxury category. Even if it’s a splurge, experiencing this fragrance in-store is worth it.

If you enjoy exploring fragrances, Creed’s sampler set is a luxurious option. It doesn’t include Virgin Island Water but features Aventus, Silver Mountain Water, Green Irish Tweed, Millésime Impérial, Aventus for Her, Love in White, Wind Flowers, and Royal Princess Oud. Among them, Silver Mountain Water offers a refreshing blend of mountain air, citrus, and tea notes. Wind Flowers exudes a floral and soft aroma with a hint of praline. Priced at £140, this set is a popular choice for selecting wedding fragrances.

Although Virgin Island Water is not included in the sampler sets, priced at £38 for 5 samples, it’s recommended as a great way to explore Creed’s offerings. With a history dating back to 1760, Creed’s fragrances offer a rich heritage. Take your time to experience and appreciate their creations.
