Product Reviewed:
Creed Silver Mountain Water (Men’s Fragrance)
Main Features:
- Scent Profile: Fresh, clean, crisp, and elegant with a unique blend of citrus top notes, a noticeable tea note, musk, and subtle floral hints.
- Uniqueness: Considered a distinctive fragrance not commonly smelled on men.
- Versatility: Suitable for all seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) and occasions including office and formal events. Not recommended for casual settings like the gym due to its elevated nature and price.
- Performance: Solid longevity of about 8 hours with moderate projection—enough to be noticeable but still classy and not overpowering.
- Price Point: High-end, approximately $500 per bottle, making sampling strongly recommended before purchase.
Pros:
- Crisp, fresh, and elegant scent that stands out from typical men’s fragrances.
- Versatile enough to be a signature scent for many occasions.
- Generally well-received by women, with many rating it 8/10 or higher, including some perfect 10s.
- Good longevity and respectable projection for a niche luxury fragrance.
- Appeals to those who appreciate quality and uniqueness in fragrance.
Cons:
- Expensive price may be a barrier.
- Initial impression can be polarizing; some users may find it unusual or off-putting at first.
- Performance can be hit or miss with Creed fragrances overall, so personal skin chemistry matters.
- Some women found it slightly feminine or too “typical”/run-of-the-mill male scent.
- Not suitable for very casual or athletic environments due to its refined nature.
- Desire expressed for smaller bottle sizes (e.g., 50ml or less) to allow collecting multiple Creed fragrances.
User Experience & Opinions:
- Many women described the scent as fresh, fruity but mellow, elegant, and sophisticated.
- Women imagined the wearer as a young, stylish, clean-cut, well-put-together man who is fashionable and confident.
- Some women immediately recognized the Creed brand by scent and associated it with exclusivity.
- A few women were less impressed, rating it around 5-6/10 and describing it as typical or leaning feminine.
- Comparisons made to other Creed fragrances like Aventus and women’s fragrances such as Carmina and Eloia (light pink bottle).
- Some users prefer other luxury brands like Tom Ford or Penhaligon’s for everyday wear.
Comparisons:
- Compared favorably to other Creed fragrances in terms of uniqueness and elegance.
- Mentioned alongside other luxury brands like Tom Ford (Costa Azura, Noir Extreme Tobacco Van) and Penhaligon’s.
- Creed’s performance noted as variable; Silver Mountain Water performs better than some others like Millesime Imperial.
Final Verdict:
Creed Silver Mountain Water is a unique, fresh, and elegant luxury fragrance with strong appeal and versatility, making it a solid candidate for a signature scent. Its moderate projection and 8-hour longevity strike a good balance between presence and subtlety. However, due to its high price and potential polarizing nature, sampling before purchase is highly recommended. Women’s reactions are generally very positive, often rating it 8 or above, highlighting its distinctiveness and classy vibe. Overall, it is a top-tier Creed fragrance but best suited for those who appreciate refined, fresh scents and are willing to invest in a premium product.
