- The fragrance is widely praised for its appealing scent profile and strong compliment factor.
Where people agree
“Alexandria’s Hawaii Volcano is great for VIW.”
reddit ↗“Lasting power is so so for the price, but there are a lot of dupes out there that are better. I like Hawaiian Volcano by Alexandria”
reddit ↗“original Hawaii Volcano is a great dupe of VIW”
reddit post ↗“apart from the top note having more of a citrus note instead of lime i think VIW and HV from Alexandria are nearly identical”
reddit ↗“Alexandria is the same but i find they usually smell a bit more refined than dua. Their VIW clone is awesome.”

Where people disagree
“much better than the Alexandria fragrances clone that smells extremely fruity instead of lime”
reddit post ↗“I just got mine a week ago, it's awful. Absolute scrubber. Hoping maceration changes it but I wouldn't recommend it as of now. Especially with the price per ml, it's a ripoff”
reddit ↗“not exactly the same, so is Hawaii volcano, I think I’ll stick to afternoon dive for a summer burst, neither of these project anyway”
reddit ↗“best VIW clone? i own alexandria hawaii volcano but it doesn't last an hour”
reddit ↗“HARD no on the Alexandria Hawaii Volcano. I got a sample of it, not even close and not even wearable”

Coconut LagoonParis Corner
36 voices · 45 threads
- Reddit users view Coconut Lagoon as a sweeter, gourmand twist on the Virgin Island Water profile rather than a direct dupe.
- Reviewers note it mimics the fizzy citrus opening, but quickly shifts into a stronger, creamier caramel and coconut drydown with noticeable quality differences.
- While some enjoy the variation on the scent profile, others feel the heavy shift away from citrus keeps it merely in the same realm.
Where people agree
“Shockingly, CL nails that same fizzy Sprite vibe. Very similar citrus opening to VIW, but the coconut comes in much earlier and much stronger. Within minutes the citrus basically disappears. You can instantly tell the quality difference b”
reddit post ↗“Coconut Lagoon is supposed to be a more gormund twist on Virgin Island Waters as the dry down is more creamy coconut with caramel.”
reddit post ↗“I do love Coconut Lagoon though (a nice twist of the VIW profile).”
reddit post ↗“Coconut Lagoon over VIW (if it was performing well)”
reddit ↗“Coconut Lagoon to VIW”
reddit ↗
Where people disagree
“while they are in the same "realm", I don’t consider it a dupe of VIW at all”
reddit ↗“Coconut Lagoon is a heavy twist on the DNA (but I like it better because of it).”
reddit ↗“For example, Coconut Lagoon is probably even further, but I like it even more. If it actually performed well, I would've bought a bottle.”
reddit ↗“While VIW is probably the inspiration for this they aren’t close at all imo”
reddit ↗“I have both ViW, Coconut Lagoon and they have nothing in common, like absolutely nothing.”
