It’s a more synthetic and affordable version of Creed Silver Mountain Water, which I bought alongside a decant to compare; they definitely smell similar. It’s a citrus and musky scent with talc notes reminiscent of baby powder creams; perfect for hot springs or cool summers. The atomizer is very short—the worst in my collection—but if you’re generous with the sprays and apply it to clothes, it projects for over two hours and lasts about six. Given how cheap it is, don’t expect supreme quality or beastly longevity, but if you like the DNA of the original Creed, this is an even cheaper alternative than the Arabic clones, though with less performance.
Scent: terrible. Projection and longevity: good. Quality: very poor. Blind buy: no, don’t waste your money. 3/10. Smells very floral, but in a bad way. It’s very similar to Creed Silver Mountain, which I hate. I don’t like it at all; it smells cheap and synthetic.
SCENT: BAD PROJECTION: GOOD LONGEVITY: GOOD QUALITY: TERRIBLE BLIND BUY: DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY 3/10 VERY FLORAL. IN A BAD WAY. VERY SIMILAR TO CREED SILVER MOUNTAIN (WHICH I HATE). I LIKE IT FOR NOTHING, SMELLS CHEAP AND SYNTHETIC.
Honestly, it didn’t work for me. I was about to buy it, but at first it smelled like honey to me, which I didn’t like, so I switched to something else.
Personally, I didn’t like it; I was about to buy it today but it gave me a slight honey smell at first, so I decided to go with another option.
Fantastic fragrance and very long-lasting; I was surprised because it was a gift and I didn’t pay much attention until four times friends and a guy I was dating gave me compliments I’d never received with other high-end perfumes. Ideal for hot days and summer, at a ridiculous price.
Brutal fragrance that lasts all day. I was gifted it and didn’t pay much attention until four times friends and a guy I liked complimented me on it—something I never got with expensive perfumes. Perfect for heat and summer, and best of all: an absurdly low price.
Smells like Creed SMW, a great perfume. The first day I used it, I received compliments from people who had never complimented me before.
Fantastic fragrance! It has a facet that evolves, and I perceive a note not listed, iris; in fact, in the mid-stage it’s similar to Prada Infusion d’Homme, but if you add the noticeable pepper, it would be very close to Prada. It’s a great fragrance and, as expected, resembles Creed Silver Mountain, which I’ve also tried. Without a doubt, it’s an option you should have in your collection.
Excellent perfume, made with great quality. Recommended for purchase to use in spring and summer. Longevity is durable and the trail is moderate.
Top-tier perfume, first-rate quality. Buy it without hesitation; perfect for spring and summer. Long-lasting with a moderate sillage.
I can only say that this perfume is a well-made copy of the famous Creed Silver Mountain Water in terms of scent.
I was testing fragrances, and who would have thought that such an affordable fragrance could have such a pleasant aroma and such a good trail? It even reminded me of one from the Creed house. I think it’s worth trying because it’s pleasant, affordable, and has a very good sillage. Great for a small summer date at sunset… or a gift that isn’t expensive but still hits the mark. It offers a lot for its price.
