I tried VIW for the first time last weekend. Although it did not blow me away, I actually prefer it to MI and SMW. It did not seem to have the typical Creed notes that tie so many of their frags together.

Virgin Island Water = Summer 2007
Silver Mountain Water is good, but to me it doesn't say 'summer'.
I hate Millesame Imperial.

Like mike said, "VIW= summer 2007".

MI and SMW are both year round scents. I like MI a little more for hot days and SMW a little more less warm days. It always seems like a toss-up between these two favorites.

VIW is pretty much just a Spring/Summer scent. But its a very, very GOOD Spring/Summer scent. I still prefer MI and SMW for their versatility, and VIW is kind of the "anti-formal scent".

They are all pretty superb really, and each has its "fan base". It depends on what you are looking for in a summer frag; if you dont like marine notes, MI wont rock your boat. If you detest berry's, SMW wont work for you, and if you dont like a boozy lime note in your juice, VIW wont make you feel relaxed. If you just prefer to wear orientals and heavy leather frags in summer, none of them will work for you. That said, I would rank them as :

1. MI
2. VIW
3. SMW

I have worn MI for over 2 years now, so this summer its all about VIW.

I enjoy most Creeds, but SMW is doesn't work for me. VIW is right behind that.

MI
VIW
SMW

Of the three, I've only sniffed MI. I really, really, really liked it. Superlative perfume.

I love most Creeds but on me MI and SMW have short longevity,i hope to try VIW soon.From the reviews it looks promising.
