Chemistry accident!?

The first time I sniffed I had to pull the head away to the side, because the scent started extremely pungent sweet / chemical.
Even with the next riechern he was not better. Even worse.
Something in the fragrance, or even the whole composition of ingredients, can convince me zero.
It's either the néroli, the green tea, or the maritime notes.....No idea. I get a headache from it and I get literally k** sick.

I gave it a few days anyway.... Maybe it will get a little better, I thought.....Unfortunately not.
In fact, it got worse. Even my acquaintances and family members cursed the stuff.
I'm also not a fan of musk in conjunction with top notes. That does not fit for me at all. Sad that you have to pay so much money for it.

The H/S is very good for my circumstances. Keeps a whole afternoon until late in the evening......This makes the fragrance but not really better.

I put the bottle in the end on the bottle bank, so that others can take the. Throwing it away would have been too bad.

Time after time.......

The flagship "Aventus" has made me aware of Creed.
Curious about new niche fragrances, I visited the perfumery of my confidence.
And there it was. The wide range of Creed creations. I did not know where to start and have decided for the SMW. The scent very pleasant but unobtrusive. Himalaya and VIW were much more noticeable. These 2 also stayed in my mind and nose. The Silver Mountain, however, hardly. 2 years later I saw exactly this fragrance in a promotion. "What could I possibly do wrong. It didn't smell bad." I said to myself and ordered it home. What can I say: With each sprayer I love Him more.

This natural, subtle, citrusy sweetness of the bergamot in harmonious balance with the other essences makes the scent so insanely fresh and fruity. I love the fragrance on a summer morning, when the light fresh wind still has the upper hand, as well as in the evening, when the soul dangles.

Every day I spend with this scent makes time a little more carefree and precious. Again and again you are my companion and an enricher

Cold clear water

Even though I've been dreaming about leaving my own four walls for a few days for months - I only started thinking seriously about a summer holiday today. And it was not wind, waves and sand that did it to me, but the mountains. Rugged cliffs, sunny meadows and clear mountain lakes.

Even as a child, after a hike on a beautiful summer day, I loved to cool my feet afterwards in a mountain stream or the resort's treading pool filled with mountain water: that stinging cold that leaves you absolutely refreshed and relaxed afterwards - wonderful. The fountains with ice-cold clear water in hollowed-out tree stumps were always a highlight, too. At home there were yes rather fountains with the sign "no drinking water"...

"Silver Mountain Water" moved in with me last summer as a blind buy. Even then, the longing for vacation was already great - at least great enough that the name piqued my interest. The fragrance components also seemed appealing to me, so some of the holiday cash was invested in olfactory holiday sensations. I was not disappointed: "Silver Mountain Water" actually has something of a mountain stream about it. It seems fresh, even pungently cool. In the background, I even perceive something "tree trunk well".

Unlike the holiday refreshment, however, the pungent coolness lasts here, is not just a splash. This is not a cuddly scent, but rather distant, fresh and well-groomed. Sometimes it even annoys me, especially when the scent tends towards classic aftershave at times. But especially in the summer I find this coolness also for me absolutely suitable for everyday use.

Today, I don't care about everyday wear while looking at hotel deals and resorts. "Silver Mountain Water" puts me in the right mood.

Silver Mountain moved in with us today.

Yes Creed, that's such a thing, is it worth the money? I do not want to think about it now, either a fragrance pleases, or pleases not quite regardless of what it costs. The first Creed was Aventus for my husband and I can not understand the hype around the fragrance. He switched to Bois du Portugal and I love that scent on my husband. I myself am addicted to Virgin Island water , nothing to add to that .
Now for Silver Mountain Water. The name fits . The scent is so clean and fresh , the lemon gently soft , almost cuddly . If he is longer on the skin comes gently the currant to the surface . The scent is flawless a unisex , I think we will both wear it . For me, Silver Mountain Water is love at first spray

Something different

Silver montain water was the second Creed fragance i sample and tested, i don't really understood notes or doesn't really care about it at the time.
At first (many years a go) i really loved how the perfume made me feel. It was something different, litle bit outdated maybe, but, damn nothing like the blues or that generic feell the market as giving us!
Now 2021 i "found" my sample while searching for old goddies, and i don't know why but after the test never give any other chance to this, let's try it one more time...
SMW, opens with a Bright, sharp, citrus vibe, neroli and bergamot are perdominant at this point.
That will pass to a salty sea brease feeling but in a few minutes vanish and we start to notice the real back bone!
Powdery, creamy, leaves, with a touch of tea supported with sandalwood and ambergris maybe... I think this is perfect for spring/summer, makes you feel clean, fresh and classy with a touch of that Creed old 90's DNA!
This is Something different that i will Invest on This summer for sure!

An echo from above

One of the best fragrances I came across.
Very bright, clean and milky, creamy.
The citrusy accord is there and the green tea mixed with the blackcurrant gives it a very calming vibe. The drydown will also be heavenly : woody, rich and still creamy to my nose. Besides the fact that the smell is heavenly we must appreciate the uniqueness. I didn't have the opportunity to smell any of its clones but I just went for the original, thinking that the quality of a Creed cannot be easy to replicate. I see why it's marked as unisex, being a gentle and subtle, innofensive kind of fragrance. My #1 Creed at the moment.
I don't care about the negative comments that are thrown in its direction.
Here comes the truth : Performance was unreal for me. 14+ hours as a skin scent, but I gave it a medium score because it really was at its peak in the first 6-7 hours, with a decent projection (More than an elbow's lenght) for about 2 hours.
Very versatile for the spring and summer and maybe pushing a bit in the fall as well. Anywhere, anytime in those 3 seasons, easily, taking in consideration the number of sprays.
I encourage you to try it first and see if it's for you. I ain't gonna let my girl use this one. No way babe.
Btw, my batch is from 2019 if this helps.
Fantastic release ! Bravo Creed !
Overall : 8.5/10

The world of fragrances is not a disc

My first comment and that of all things to Creed's Silver Mountain Water, which actually does not fit into my scheme. Because - so much in advance - it was not love at first smell. Nevertheless, SMW is exactly the right fragrance for my first comment. Because he symbolizes the beginning of my journey on the I rediscover the world of fragrances....

I've never been a fan of fresh scents. Arbitrary, same, unspectacular were for me until some time ago all fragrances that go in the fresh direction.
Sweet fragrances, yes that's what I've always liked. So for a long time Givenchy's Pi was my favorite (I can imagine how the average parfumo just turns up his nose) and even now my favorites are mainly in the sweet direction.
In autumn and winter such preferences are no problem. It is more tricky in the summer. But even here I have unerringly to fragrances with residual sweetness as to "Acqua di Parma - Fico di Amalfi", parts of the Luna Rossa series or - to my shame - also rather cheap fresh-sweet / fruity representatives grabbed. The main thing a touch of sweetness was just in the soup.
So you could say I was an olfactory Flat-Earther...

So with that attitude, I met up with my fragrance buddies in the late summer of 2020 (yes, that's when it was just allowed) for a round of tastings. It was "Creed" on the program. Although I knew the house before for more than Aventus (which in incidentally - who's surprised - quite good but also not really spectacular find). I have to admit that before each rehearsal I secretly thought to myself: "hopefully one will come for me now! Please, please finally a cutie!", only to be disappointed once in a while. We had about 20 men's creeds there as rehearsals. Somewhere there was also SMW, but I only remembered it because of the praising words of my joy. The fragrance seemed to me then as banal and interchangeable as all the other samples that evening.
To the smiles of my fellow testers, I of course liked Virgin Island Father (Yeah, sweet coconut!) the best. At least we could still agree that my second choice, Original Santal, was a pretty good scent.
Overall, it was a very interesting but challenging evening, as it took a lot out of me to hide my ignorance at the time.

Rather by chance and still the praises of my fellow testers in the back of my mind I then bought a short time later (because of the low price) a bottling SMW.
Arrived. Sprayed on. Been disappointed. Yes, he smells exactly as I remember: fresh arbitrary. I do not need. The money I would have times better saved.

Autumn was here, the winter at the door. So my favorite perfume season has begun: Sweet is officially daily wearable!
Funny enough, on the few days I do have to go into the office at the moment, I opt for the not-so-sweet and rather fresh cleaners among my bottles. The fear of leaving a bad impression with a sweet fragrance is simply too great. So one day I picked up SMW. And what can I say: I actually felt good and enjoyed the fragrance around me.

And so I caught myself in the subsequent period repeatedly (just after days on which I tested a sweet that I did not really like) also at home with the desire to smell fresh combined with the reach for my SMW filling. The first two times I didn't think much of it, the third time I started to talk positively about the scent in my environment. And SMW also pleased my fellow men. In the meantime I simply realized that SMW is a damn good fragrance and I really like it. I now understand what my fellow testers at the time liked so much:

SMW is like a mountain stream: clear, natural, and in balance.
No masculine shower gel notes. No "here I come." Discreet and yet present.

SMW radiates on me an almost magical elegance. An understatement without losing its own claim. Not loud, but the quality simply speaks for itself.

It is somewhat difficult for me to put my impressions of the smell itself in words: Definitely citrusy, unsweet but warm, perhaps minimally bitter without being unpleasant. Wearable at any time of day and year.
I feel comfortable with it. Clean, pure and also self-confident.

I now see a whole new, much bigger world of fragrances ahead of me. True, I still tend to like sweet fragrances the best. But I now understand that:

1. A fragrance does not have to be sweet to please me.

2. more importantly, a fragrance doesn't necessarily have to please me (immediately) to be a good fragrance.

With these insights, I look forward to an exciting journey in a globe-trotting world of fragrance!

Instantly recognizable as a Creed scent...

as it bears the signature ambergris base (only listed as musk in the note pyramid?) also found in i.e. Millesime Imperial and Green Irish Tweed.

Slightly sweet fruits, tea and ozonic aquatic musk with a hint of creamy ink, perfectly unisex. It is extremely linear and with exception of the black currant in the opening, it stays almost exactly the same from beginning to end. Fits very nicely for spring and summertime. Funny thing is, I actually find it to be have quite a few similarities with Millesime Imperial - maybe it's just me? I also used to own Al-Rehab's Silver and must admit that the dupe is pretty close to SMW, but smells cheaper as it lacks the ambergris base, which is replaced by a sharper metallic vibe.

Projection isn't very impressive, but the longevity is a moderate 3-4 hours as with many other scents.

The best mistake of the year!

Are you annoyed by other people's mistakes?

Me yes - and especially those that have an impact on me.

Today was such a mistake. An expensive mistake - and I'm so glad that I want to share it with you.

To start the story early enough, but not too early: I started my small collection of perfumes in March of this year and I have firmly resolved to keep it manageable - if not for the sake of money, then for the sake of domestic peace alone...

Over the years I have tested all the fragrances that I think are of value and so my collection grew piece by piece. In the end there were only three higher priced ones: Jubilation 25, Royal Oud and Original Santal.

Then came the highest secular holiday this year, Black Friday - and there I got an offer I couldn't refuse: I bought all three and both Creed fragrances were available for 50 Euro less than normal.
From Italy indeed and with longer delivery time... Nevertheless: I had to
In the end, I waited just under 2 weeks.

Today the waiting came to an end: the postman rang twice and the package was there.

There they were: beautifully packaged... and wrongly delivered.
Royal Oud was there - fortunately, I wanted him in any case.
But the other was Silver Mountain Water! Never tested. For a price that was, in spite of the offer, very reasonable
Now what? Send it back and wait 4 weeks?

Spray on and hope.

And what can I say?
A revelation!
Sensational!
Terrific!
A dream!!

Silver Mountain Water is a fresh, pure, highly pleasing fragrance!

At the beginning citric freshness, clear like the name-giving mountain river and refreshing like a bath in it.

Right from the start, this creed shows its own exclusive smelling freshness, which you know from its siblings like Millesime Imperial - and the fear of underground durability that comes with it, I can dispel at this point: it's clearly above it.

Over time, the warmer, woody tones will come through - without Silver Mountain Water losing its freshness.

Until the end, the fragrance radiates an exclusive, fabulously pleasing aura - and it smells like no other fragrance I know of, by no means generic or boring.

Conclusion:
Silver Mountain Water is a great scent - fresh like a mountain river, beautiful like the sun reflected in it and an absolute recommendation.

Best mistake I ever made in perfume!

Inky but i love it

I honestly understand the strange ink opening that slaps you across the face just as hard as im slapping my own face trying to describe it. It's as if theres a jarring cacophony of tea notes against the other base notes sandal wood and musk. The ink is what draws me towards it and thats what makes it niche

Although this is a very dated fragrance there is almost nothing i've smelt that has come close to it. The strange inky opening is something that you cant find anything else and its very alluring. I may be biased as i loved this fragrance at first sniff. But let me just go a bit deeper as everyone describes it as an ink and nothing more. No its not like getting high off a sharpie (not that i've done that), nor a bull point pen, a fine liner or a white board marker. I'm a physio as i swear teaching patients, teaching courses and all, drawing anatomy and concepts for hours on a whiteboard gives me a headache with all the "ink" notes. But this is nothing close. The inky note in swm is just the perception of ink. Since distinguish the tea, blackcurrant and sandalwood/musk together, we just generalise it as "ink". But in fact its honestly just a more complex musk. Gradually what i get most after 1 hour wear you do get a unique refreshing musk.

Sillage and longevity on my skin is average. I'll get 4 - 6 hours wear and it projects about 1 arms length at most. Thats fine for me since i work in close environments and the ink note is "jarring" in its opening; the rest is absolutely inoffensive. Would even dare say i get better silage and longevity in my clothes when they get incidentally sprayed.

Can confirm the fragrance does lean male but is 100% unisex. Perfect blind buy (if you're made out of money), and suitable for young and old males and females.

The reason why i think this is better than Millésime Imperial (even though i love that too) is because it's slightly more long lasting.
