    What do reviewers say about Virgin Island Water and 1988?

    The Creed price tag makes people hesitate. Fair enough. But Virgin Island Water earns it differently than most, not with complexity, but with restraint. It's tropical without tipping into pool party.Virgin Island Water
    Not another late-80s flanker or another rose number. 1988 earns its name with a green clarity that most fragrances this side of 1990 have forgotten. The galbanum stings, the iris powders.1988
