Silver Mountain Water by Creed



Today I am wearing Silver Mountain Water by Creed.

Gosh that’s good.  A beautiful unisex blend of galbanum and citrus initially which works exceptionally well.  The sharper freshness of citrus (bergamot and mandarin) and citrus-woody petitgrain  is tempered by the green pea-podness of the galbanum.  What a wonderful introduction.

The fruit changes from fresh-woody to fruity-green as the middle note of blackcurrant emerges.  It softens even more emitting the most glorious almost floral aroma as the green tea makes its presence known (note that there is np floral in here).

Finally the base notes – ambergris, sandalwood and musk – come into play leaving the most delicious intoxicating scent that refuses to overpower but delivers with impact.  Truly wonderful.

Creed oh Creed, you’ve done it again.  I adore Aventus and now I adore this one too.  Shame that it isn’t a tad cheaper so that I could spray it liberally whenever I felt the need.
