Island Waters

A late afternoon spent lounging by the pool, where the scent of coconut sunscreen mixes with the gentle lapping of water against stone tiles.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Island Waters by Victoria's Secret was launched in 2010 as a Floral Aquatic fragrance for women, capturing the essence of tropical escapism. The composition opens with bright, sweet fruity notes and coconut, which provide a sunny, beachy vibe. As it develops, the scent transitions into an aquatic and fresh accord, evoking the sensation of cool water against warm skin. The lactonic and vanilla base adds a creamy, sensual undertone that rounds out the fragrance, making it both refreshing and inviting.

How to wear it

Apply Island Waters to pulse points and allow it a few minutes to develop. The fruity top notes are fleeting, but the aquatic heart lasts longer, making it perfect for daytime wear. For an extended effect in the evening, consider a second application as the vanilla base begins to emerge.
