A Vacation Bottled: Creed's Virgin Island Water

Sir Richard Branson and I share very few things in common. He is British, I am American. He has an international airline. I pay to fly on it. He's a business magnate worth 4.2 Billion, I have a blog. However Sir Richard and myself have a penchant for tropical destinations. And seeing that I can not escape by private plane out to my own personal island, I do the next best thing, spray on The House of Creed's Virgin Island Water. The scent that celebrates the journey to the Virgin Islands. Rumor has it, this is Branson's scent. 

I recently discovered this cologne and thought it would be a perfect summer scent. Sugar cane, white rum, ginger, lime, coconut... it's cocktails, sand and sun, nothing I enjoy more. 

If you decide to take the plunge with Sir Richard and I, and purchase Creed's V.I.W. you might be put off by the first notes of sugar and coopra, according to Creed, this is the white inner portion of the fruit . Yes, it smells like suntan lotion. But allow some time and chemistry to work this fragrance into an elegant skin scent that blends jasmine into the mix. You sir, will smell like you just set sail to your own private oasis. 

A little Come Fly With Me on the IPod, a mojito in hand, and a spritz of Virgin Island Water ...welcome summer.
