The review
Strong contender. That is where Caribbean Water lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Virgin Island Water.
ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Virgin Island Water's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $82 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Virgin Island Water — the 11th cheapest of 21 twins we can price.
