What Wearers Say
Alexandria Fragrances Hawaii Volcano
Some wearers enjoy its resemblance to Virgin Island Water’s tropical scent.
One owner likes how long the original Hawaii Volcano remains noticeable on their skin.
One wearer finds the lime or bergamot too prominent and wanted more coconut, so it misses the balance they enjoy in Virgin Island Water.
Creed Virgin Island Water
Some owners love the coconut-and-lime combination as a warm-weather scent.
One owner particularly enjoys the coconut drydown.
One owner wishes the opening lime stayed more prominent as it dries down.
One full-bottle owner loves the scent but finds it fades quickly on their skin; other owners report longer wear.
The Verdict
Hawaii Volcano is our pick, at a fraction of the price. Alexandria calls it its interpretation of Virgin Island Water and lists lime, coconut, tropical fruit and spices. Creed's list is lime, bergamot and tropical fruit, coconut milk with jasmine, over tonka, white musk and patchouli. The lime-and-coconut core is what matters, and Alexandria has it. Buy the Creed for the white flowers and tonka.
