    What do reviewers say about Virgin Island Water 2007 and Gorse?

    White rum and sugarcane as a base note, Creed could have buried it. Didn't. This is the fragrance for someone who wants tropical without smelling like they tried.Virgin Island Water 2007
    Most citrus fragrances play it safe. Gorse leans into something stranger, the actual botanical, furze, not just 'green notes.' Coconut, but not in a tropical-drink way. More the memory of it.Gorse
