Description
Description
Silver Mountain Water is a sparkling, cool-air fragrance inspired by the high-mountain streams of the Swiss Alps. Created for Creed by master perfumer Pierre Bourdon (with Olivier and Erwin Creed) and launched in 1995, it pairs bright bergamot and blackcurrant with a translucent green-tea heart over clean musk and sandalwood. The result is crisp, fresh and effortlessly elegant — a quiet-luxury daytime signature that reviewers reach for in warm weather.
Scent Character
- Fresh — 50%
- Woody — 31%
- Sweet — 19%
Translation: a fresh-woody aquatic with a soft fruity-tea sweetness — airy and clean rather than heavy or sugary.
Fragrance Pyramid
Top: Bergamot, Blackcurrant, Galbanum, Orange
Heart: Tea, Ozonic Notes
Base: Musk, Sandalwood
Note: Silver Mountain Water sees batch-to-batch variation — some batches lean more tea-and-fruit, others muskier. This is normal for a long-running Creed; the core fresh-aquatic character stays consistent.
Performance
- Longevity: Moderate — realistically 4–6 hours on skin. Honest expectation: this is a fresh, airy scent, not a heavy long-haul performer; reapplication is normal for all-day wear.
- Sillage: Moderate, close-to-skin — intimate rather than loud.
- Projection: 1–2 ft in the first hour, then settles close to the skin.
Best Occasions & Season
- Season: Spring and Summer — built for warm, bright days.
- Occasion: Business, Everyday and Leisure — a versatile clean daytime scent.
- Gender: Unisex.
- Skip for: Cold-weather evenings where a warmer, heavier scent suits better.

FAQ
Is Silver Mountain Water for men or women? It's unisex — a clean, fresh-aquatic scent that suits anyone.
How long does it last? Moderate, around 4–6 hours. It's a light, airy fragrance, so expect a soft, close wear rather than a heavy projector.
Why buy a decant? The 1mL and 5mL decants let you enjoy the genuine fragrance without committing to a full bottle.
How does it compare to Creed Millesime Imperial? Silver Mountain Water is cooler, greener and more tea-and-blackcurrant; Millesime Imperial is fruitier and more melon-salty. SMW is the crisper, more restrained of the two.
