One of the fragrances that never loses its luster despite its older DNA. It starts sexy and fruity. The tobacco becomes stronger with time. The fruits take a back seat. The amber I think I can also perceive. It's seductive Radiated authority but reserved.

He would have the potential to be a niche fragrance if there were not the poor durability and sillage. He should not be missing in my opinion in any collection. Thanks to its low radiance, however, he often remains unfortunately untouched in the closet.

The flacon I find okay. Nothing special. Only with full content looks the color of The One already interesting.

Something completely different! Virgin Island Water is classic like so many Creed fragrances on the fresh side. But this one is somehow still a bit different. He starts with a lot of lime and other fruits. On my skin after 2 hours it shows that the lime is pushed back and the coconut becomes more present. It's nicely balanced. But I can't detect much more than those two accords, unfortunately. When I wear it and close my eyes I see myself sitting at a beach bar in the Caribbean. Probably has that also with our current situation zutun and my holiday maturity.

In the durability and sillage, it is as typical for Creed rather in the midfield of the perfume world. Compared with niche fragrances rather in the lower range.

The flacon pleases me very well. Same shape as all but by the silver accents it looks noble.

Aquatic smoky fragrance with medium durability. Definitely on the masculine side but from the scent progression very simply built.
Sillage also rather low.
The flacon pleases me very well and also the spray head is absolutely fine.
For the price of about 35€ nevertheless an absolutely passable fragrance.

It starts citrically and reminds at the beginning without doubt of Aventus. I can only perceive lavender or musk to a limited extent, if at all. In comparison to his just mentioned relationship he stays for me in the cirtrical direction and does not go into the wooden one. Somehow, it does not become as round as I would like it to be or maybe also expected by Aventus. But please do not misunderstand. For me he is neither quite similar to Aventus nor the course of the fragrance is the same.
The durability unfortunately leaves something to be desired on my skin. It is similar with the Sillage. Of course it is only a cologne but if you have experienced Enigma you know that it could be different
The flacon looks great and is absolutely high-quality.
In individual cases, you should always test how long it lasts on the skin. Here I have already heard some contrary opinions to mine. If it works then I see it in summer.

First time spraying. Let's go outside. The temperature is cool but not cold. My first impression after the spraying was again confirmed: "Somehow musty"
A spice doesn't fit here at all.
By many opinions before I knew of course that it is also temperature dependent. But it was only after a few weeks of spraying on the 2nd layer and much colder temperatures that I realized how important this is for Layton Exclusif.
He's suddenly not at all stuffy anymore. You take cardamom and the woods were, the cinnamon and other spices dancing beside it. It changes and becomes lighter and more digestible with time. Not weaker or less present but more pleasant for everyone who perceives it. It is certainly not for work and it would be out of place in a club. His home is the winter, the evening, maybe the christmas market if there is one again.
He has earned the rating on Parfumo. Certainly not everyone can like it but for an oriental niche fragrance it is certainly more compatible and more suitable for the masses than many other niche fragrances in similar price categories.
