I get 4-6 hours of longevity on this, projection is average during that time frame. Spraying on clothes will help extend the scent life.
Thread: Virgin Island Water Longevity? |
To me this is far and away probably the best smelling summer scent (very pleasant) but how is its performance do you find? Anyone getting respectable performance from this (obviously in the summer cause that's the only time to wear this)? I am talking 6-8 hours while still turning heads? I ask cause I really love the scent and want to have this, but I cannot justify paying lots of money if it gets no utility (new batches good?). I'd appreciate any thoughts on this, thanks.
p.s. if you spray this on clothes, do you feel it lasts and projects more?

At least 4 to 6, usually longer. Current batches are lovely. Yes, spraying on clothes extends the life.

It does real well on my skin.
It does well on me, more than 5 hours, but generously sprayed. Usually stays close to the skin, it has I can say - an elegant projection.
i get 6-8 hours, low projection but can be detected
Very dismal. 10 mins??
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I Get a solid 6 Hours... Limited Projection but i get a great scent cloud in my own space thats extremely pleasant. I dont really wear this fragrance for others. I wear it for myself. I give one spray to the back of the Neck and One Spray to the base of the Neck. Ive never gotten a compliment on this either. I assume its due to the limited projection.
Added note. Much better than Sel Marin as far as projection and longevity. Sel Marin is one of my favorite scents but I get about 2-3 hours of longevity and thats pushin it and pretty much ZERO projection after 4 sprays.

I get surprisingly good longevity with average projection out of my decant, and I'm very fussy with that kind of thing.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
Good longevity in the heat usually 6-8 hours, decent projection for the first hour or two. I wore this a lot when my girlfriend and I went to Antigua, she absolutely loves it on me.

I get 5-6 hours on my skin, but 8-12 hours if I spray it on my clothing. Good stuff.
I sprayed some on my wrist in shop.
When I got back to my office 50 minutes later, it was totally gone - making it the poorest lasting Creed scent on me that I'd ever tried.

I'd say I get about 6-8 hours with mine. Spraying on clothing definitely increases the projection & longevity.
I get a good 6-8 hours from mine. I have noticed that it becomes a skin scent after about 4 hours. Sparaying on clothes have definitely helped me with longevity as well.

“Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”
2010 batches are good, 2011 batches are even better. Tested and true!!!
Less than an hour on me. I'm amazed people are getting six hours from this!

Get about 5 hours. But no complaints here. This stuff is good to go for the summer. Rather have something with 5 hours, than 8 hours and not smell as well as this.
8 hours no problem.
If you get more than 4hrs. of decent projection (elbows length) from ANY Creed, consider yourself lucky.
I have no problem with this fragrance. Lasts a good 6-8 hours, especially with one spray to my shirt.

This one surprised me. One of the longest wearing Creeds on me. All through workday. 8 hours easily.
My SOTD. Got a good 6 hours, started to become a skin scent thereafter. I sprayed once on each inner elbow, one on the chest, and two small sprays on my shirt.
I have the 2010 batch. Overall, I'm satisfied.
