Anybody with Creed Virgin Island Water have any longevity complaints?


Bout to pull the trigger for my vaca scent, but im seeing a lot of longevity complaints

For me, it stay close to the skin in about an hour when it's temperate.
If it's hot, it will broadcast more, but it will disappear faster.

For the price they want, I'd have to hit the lotto to cop a bottle without considering the performance.

Virgin island water is crack!!!
Longevity depends on the person.
I get 8 hours on skin easy.

@BronxBomber versions of Bitter Peach, Mandarino di Amalfi, and Lamar got the stamp as certified winners from my lady. Got told I'm probably snitching on myself about what type of night it's gonna be if I head out with the Lamar on without her. :mjlol:

I think Lamar may be our biggest undrafted fragrance. What I think it does is allow cats who don't know about niche fragrance to rock something and get instant response, help them explore more..

:salute:

Appreciate the support

What are y’all using to store your cologne?

Link to similar item if you have it

Just do not keep in sunlight, or in your bathroom where temperatures and moisture is prevalent. One thing that is not spoken about is actually USING fragrances, and the amount of oxygen a fragrance is exposed too.

With us we will get folks like it doesn't smell like my old bottle, but their old bottle had time to mature and macerate etc.

Unless you are purchasing these $4000 bottle of fragrance, normal room conditions, and or draw conditions are more than suffice.

Ash on Sales 2022
  1. Dior - Sauvage (assume the whole line) - 285M
  2. Chanel - Bleu De Chanel (assumes the whole line) - 210M
  3. YSL - Y (assumes the whole line) - 95.6M
  4. Versace - Eros 67.2M
  5. Armani - Acqua Di Gio EDT (the original) 65M
  6. Gucci - Gucci Guilty - 57M
  7. Creed - Aventus - 44M (drop from 2022)
  8. D&G - Light Blue Pour Homme 34.6M
  9. Valentino - Born in Roma - 31.5M ( was #24 in 2021)
  10. Armani - Acqua Di Gio Profondo - 31.5M


In the top 10 - Gucci Guilty and Born in Roma and Aventus are surprising to me.
  • Guilty - I never hear anyone talking about it. Absolute, yes. Not the OG.
  • Born in Roma - see Guilty. (one of my fave bottle designs)
  • Creed - I didn't know it was that popular.
And he also did 11-20

Just got it in, this is really good and for the price, honestly you can't beat it. I'll eventually get the real one because I like it a lot but will def have this on deck. Also got the Rasasi Egra from Joma Shop which is a Creed Irish Tweed, pretty good too

Good list. I couldn't even attempt to make one but some of my most recent favorites are:

Roja- Elysium
Initio-Paragon
Xerjoff-Torino 21
Amouage- Beach Hut Man
Kilian-Vodka On The Rocks

Nishane-Hacivat is the only one I'm considering to be my absolute GOAT.

Bruhhhhhhhhhh, that Elysium is it!! Def top 10 ever for me. I gotta rearrange my Top 5 because I forget Angels Share…that’s unacceptable, lol, joint might be #1 being real. The whole Kilian house is fire from what I’ve smelled. I met the dude who runs Amouage at ScentXplore a couple months ago, wacky guy, I don’t really love the House but I never tried the one you named.
