What People 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
Sample Hawaii Volcano if you want Alexandria’s lime-and-coconut interpretation. One wearer finds its citrus more prominent than they wanted; others enjoy the resemblance. Choose Virgin Island Water if its particular coconut-and-citrus balance is what you like. Compare both on skin if staying power is a priority, checking the drydown as well as the first spray.
