Sunshiney Summer Scents #3: Creed Virgin Island Water

Posh Parisian perfume house Creed (phew, alliteration, wha?) make seriously covetable fragrances. It's a family owed business and boasts fans like George Clooney, and JFK was said to wear their classic Irish Tweed fragrance.

Virgin Island Water was conceived on a journey Creed senior took with his son around the Virgin Islands and the fragrance is hugely influenced by that part of the world - think coconut, white bergamot, mandarin orange, hibiscus, ginger, ylang-ylang, jasmine and Sugar cane and white rum.

It's suitable for men and women and it's available from Brown Thomas - but be warned, it's not cheap. You will pay about a hundred euro for this baby.
