The review

Worth a try. That is where Buko Intense Inspired lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Virgin Island Water.

Montagne Parfums 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.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: white bergamot, sicilian lime and ginger up top, coconut, hibiscus and ylang-ylang in the middle, white rum, sugar cane and musk underneath — the shape of Creed Virgin Island Water.

Top

  • white bergamot
  • sicilian lime
  • ginger

Heart

  • coconut
  • hibiscus
  • ylang-ylang

Base

  • white rum
  • sugar cane
  • musk
Sun-soaked coconut, lime and white rum that bottles a Caribbean beach holiday.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
