The review
On paper, Blue Waters is a strong bet if you want Virgin Island Water for less.
Perfume Parlour 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Virgin Island Water — the 18th cheapest of 21 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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
The original opens on white bergamot, sicilian lime and ginger, turns to coconut, hibiscus and ylang-ylang, and settles into white rum, sugar cane and musk. That is the brief Blue Waters is working from.
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.
