Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Creed Silver Mountain Water is no exception. The opening salvo presents Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Neroli and Green Tea, hitting the skin with immediate impact and establishing the character of what follows. As the top notes settle — typically within the first 20–30 minutes — the heart of Creed Silver Mountain Water emerges: Black Currant, Galbanum and Petit Grain. This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Musk, Sandalwood and Ambergris anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Creed Silver Mountain Water leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward Fresh, Green, Citrus, Aromatic, making Creed Silver Mountain Water a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
