Hawaii Volcano

This smells amazing

Firstly, I have loved Virgin Island Waters since I first smelled it. I never actually purchased it because at $500 for a small bottle. It was out of my budget. One day I was on the computer and I was looking for a dupe. I didn’t want to take chances so I bought the small bottle first, and when I got it it smelled exactly like Virgin Island Waters and I immediately ordered the 100 mL size. The beautiful cobalt bottle protects the fragrance and allows me to keep it on my dresser to display the pretty bottle. My only negative is, the price has increased more than $20 since I originally started buying it. I think $100 for a dupe is a bit excessive but if I only have to spend that once a year, I am happy to do it. Hopefully we do not see any more price increases at Alexandria fragrances. I sprayed it on my left wrist one day and went to Neiman Marcus and sprayed the real version on my right wrist and didn’t tell the sales lady. I walked around for about an hour and I went up to her and I said I have the original one and I have the dupe one can you tell which is which, and she smelled both wrists and she chose the original as the dupe because she could barely smell it while Hawaii volcano was still full strength and doing what a perfume should do and that’s working with my body‘s chemistry and the heat my body produces. It blew the sales woman’s mind and she wanted to know where I got it. My other favorite fragrance was discontinued about 10 years ago, which was Vivian Westwood boudoir and now I buy the dupe from the UK and I get it in less than a week. It doesn’t come in a fancy bottle, but the price is very affordable. I am so glad that Alexandria fragrances does such a good job duping these outrageously priced fragrances.

Great freshie and great price. Well worth it. Just wished it lasted longer. But creed VIW has the same longevity

This is an absolutely delicious tropical scent with coconut and citrus accords. I will be wearing this frequently in the summer, and I'm even wearing it now in the late fall!

Super tropical, super fresh, not a daily wear.. i'd say this is amazing for beach trips, worth the money
