Musky Green Tea

A little over 20 years ago, the house of Creed surprised perfume connoisseurs all over the world with Silver Mountain Water, a contemporary unisex Eau de Parfum that has since gone on to become one of their most beloved fragrances of all time. A bestseller since its introduction (and even till today), Creed’s Silver Mountain Water embodies the pristine feeling of snow-capped peaks, with sweet blends of milky-sweet black currants and bergamot in between. This is a fragrance better described as an invigorating breath of fresh, icy mountain air – bringing with it the sheer beauty and splendor of the Swiss Alps.

Creed’s Silver Mountain Water cologne holds its freshness and clean scent over time while retaining a hint of woodiness. This scent is made up of a natural, subtle sweetness that works in harmony with warm notes such as black currant and musk, making it smell incredibly fruity and fresh.

Citrus notes dominate the opening and remain throughout the entire lifespan of the fragrance. It’s a delightful combination of bergamot and mandarin orange that’s exhilarating and, if anything, ends too soon. Shortly after, the scent skips to notes of green tea and black currant, giving off a more green/herbal type of vibe that adds a new dimension to the scent. The black currant and citrus notes together are rather sharp, but fortunately, the tea note seems to temper them quite a bit. Finally, Creed’s Silver Mountain Water delves into a base of smooth sandalwood and creamy musk, leaving you with an icy freshness on the skin – a true hallmark of this enlivening scent.

For a scent this fresh, Creed’s Silver Mountain Water is best worn on warmer days. This isn’t a particularly ‘sexy’ scent or overly sophisticated in any way, making it ideal for everyday wear. We’d definitely wear it for casual activities, such as work, social meetings, or gym sessions.

As for performance, it’ll easily outlast the industry benchmark of six hours. You will most certainly get compliments in the first hour or two, as projection and sillage are at their best during that period.

Silver Mountain Water is available for purchase on the house of Creed’s website. Prices start at $320 for the 50 ml (1.7 Fl Oz) eau de parfum, $430 for the 100 ml (3.4 Fl Oz) bottle, and go up to $1,535 for the 1000 ml (33.3 Fl Oz) bottle.
