Synthetic Bomb
For me, this only has a very distant connection to Aventus or Virgin Island Water.
Right upon spraying, a sharp smell hits your nose. Of course, you can smell the coconut, lime, and pineapple... but it is very synthetic. It reminds me more of a toilet cleaner in a Caribbean edition.
I would describe the opening as similarly synthetic to that of Armaf Club de Nuit Intense.
I understand that many can live with it at a certain price... but in the price range of Dua, it is quite outrageous. I would definitely not buy this fragrance again.

Synthetic? Sure. But it's also a great beach scent, or for when you're active out in high heat. Also very cheap. 6.8/10.

WOW !!! 90% VIW and 10% Aventus, it has great longevity. Lasts easily from Tegel to Bangkok, then I reapply for vacation :-)

I don't smell much of the Aventus, but VIW is very rounded and pleasant. As expected from DUA, great performance. The perfect vacation scent.

Creed's favorites combined in a 60:40 ratio favoring the Caribbean notes from VIW. Pure summer feeling with or without a cocktail.

Pure synthetic. Overloaded coconut with initial pineapple.
Typical for H/S Dua.
P/L is inappropriate for the synthetic!
