Silver Mountain Water by Creed Eau De Parfum Spray 3.3 oz

You already know or soon you will know the house of Creed puts out some great fragrances, and this one is in the top 10! If you like a dominant green tea note, a combo of citruses, combo of bergamot and mandarin orange. Then you have to own this! After the dry down, the scent continues to be fresh with a beautiful musk. Some people say there’s an inky smell, I don’t smell that, but if I had to guess it’s probably from the dominant green tea note. I think it’s a great spring and summer fragrance and only gets better the longer it’s on your skin. Performance for me is 7 plus hours which is above average for a fresh scent. The price is on the expensive side, but it’s quality juice! Highly recommend!

There is something magical-and by that I mean, fragrance magic, the kind that makes you roll your eyes into the back of your head at first sniff-in the heart of this fragrance. If I had to name it I would say it’s the musk and rum combination. It blends deliciously with the top of zingy lime and gritty white sugar I can almost feel between my teeth to produce the olfactory mirage of a top shelf margarita under a cloudless, tropical sky. It’s a bit of a chameleon in that it morphs day to day: sometimes I get more lime, sometimes more coconut, but always that beautiful rum and musk backbone to hold all the players together. Truly unisex. As a woman, I wear this for myself, but also don’t mind the idea of a man in a white shirt (unbuttoned, sleeves rolled up) sending ... MoreThere is something magical-and by that I mean, fragrance magic, the kind that makes you roll your eyes into the back of your head at first sniff-in the heart of this fragrance.

This fragrance opens with a beautiful combination of lime, coconut, and a slight bit of mandarin orange. The opening is very uplifting and reminiscent of a warm summer day. The lime and coconut last for almost the entire fragrance, but are accompanied by a fresh ginger, ylang-ylang, and some florals a few minutes in. My favorite part of the fragrance settles in around 20 minutes in when the musk and rum start to come into play. Although there is rum, this fragrance never comes off heavy or boozy, which I think is very appropriate for this particular blend. There is also a bit of sugar cane to add sweetness. The performance on this fragrance is good for what you’d expect from a fresh tropical fragrance at about 5 to 6 hours on skin.

Virgin Island Water by Creed is the best coconut fragrance I have ever tried. I have tried a lot of colognes that claim to have a coconut note, but most of them are too weak and barely noticeable. Virgin Island Water, on the other hand, has a strong and authentic coconut scent that is truly delicious. One of the things that I really love about Virgin Island Water is that it has a fresh, tropical vibe to it. It's the perfect scent for warm weather and always puts me in a good mood. It's also a great option for those who are looking for a more unique and unexpected fragrance. Out of the fresh Creed colognes, Virgin Island Water is definitely one of my favorites. It's a beautifully balanced fragrance that is sure to turn heads and get noticed. If you're a fan of ... MoreVirgin Island Water by Creed is the best coconut fragrance I have ever tried.

It’s also one of the most liked by my friends who have smelled my creed fragrances. I think in general it’s one of the most underrated creed fragrances. To some people it reminds them of sunscreen I guess? I can’t figure out why people don’t talk about it more.

Royal Water is delicious, fresh and clean with a somewhat soapy vibe. The basil and mint give it a medicinal, somewhat mysterious quality that makes it quite unusual. You won’t smell ordinary with this one. The citruses add a layer of freshness while the musk and ambergris create a soft smoothness to it all. The juniper definitely adds a gin scent making it smell like a very pricey cocktail at times. I fell in love with it upon first sniff. It's beautiful and definitely full bottle worthy. Not many comments about this but Royal Water is VERY soapy. It's one of the soapiest fragrances I ever smelled. But it's a goody soapy. Like vintage soapy. I love it.

As you can see with the blue cap, I happen to own a very rare vintage bottle of this. This is a masterpiece summer fragrance. As the title suggests, it is a very realistic coconut, whereas the citrus and ginger help bring it some freshness and zing. The lime, sugary notes and rum give it a very sweet/sugar cane mojito type of smell. Put that with the fresh coconut mentions before and you can already see how this is a masterpiece for hot summer heat, tropical travel and beachsides. The heat really does bring out the best of this and I find it changes quite a bit during the day in these conditions. I do wish the fragrance was longer lasting though. Don't be afraid to be generous with the trigger, as this is a very friendly fragrance that is not likely to offend anyone.

The scent of freshness, a freshly washed white shirt, clean bed linen, cold, white, frosty day air - some such associations. As a scent for every day - easily. For the office, for a business meeting under a white shirt. I can not distinguish individual notes in it, I can hear a little currant leaves only, otherwise there is something chemical, maybe some kind of medicine. Cons: there is something sweaty musky sour in it. Durability is weak, it happens that it flies after 2 hours. There is a trail, the fragrance disappears and appears again. At first incomprehensible, you don't feel notes similar to natural aromas, but when you get used to it, you begin to understand its coolness. I like it, I want to buy more. Freshness with currants Crystal, ringing. Very similar ... MoreThe scent of freshness, a freshly washed white shirt, clean bed linen, cold, white, frosty day air - some such associations.

Freshness with currants Crystal, ringing. Very similar in sound to the platinum Egoist in his best "early" years. Equally good on a man and on a woman. The aroma is quite strict, it adjusts to a working mood. Very beautiful - tea leaves, currants and citruses. And all this is framed by Creed's trademark sound of ambergris, which, although not declared here, but the brain really wants to add it here, tk. the aroma has a very characteristic bitterness and powder. A girl in urban worries, a successful, businesslike and certainly confident :)

A classic unisex crowd-pleaser from Creed

I picked up a new bottle to supplement my pre-2006 bottle that's running low. The new juice (my bottle is from batch M3521N01, so made in 2021) is markedly different from SMW I am used to - the new one is definitely softer, lighter on the Inky/black current note, but is also gorgeous in its own way. My old SMW smells like a nighttime version of the scent while the new one is a great day fragrance. The new one lasts most of the day but not as long as the old SMW which lingers a good few hours longer.I have quite a few Creeds and SMW is probably the most versatile of them - it's not challenging or fussy like some others, so whenever I am not sure what to wear, picking up SMW is a safe choice. It's probably best in warmer weather but can be enjoyed in the cold as ... MoreI picked up a new bottle to supplement my pre-2006 bottle that's running low.

No complaints here:)

Vacation Paradise in a Bottle

Just as the name states, the fragrance is reminisce to a summer holiday at an island or a beach. When applying for the first time, you are greeted by a distinguishable lime scent. Overtime as it dries down, you’re enveloped by a coconut essence which is smoothen by other ingredients such as ylang-ylang and Indian Jasmine.Personally, from using 4-5 sprays on the skin, this doesn’t last long (approx. 3-6 hours). However, keep in mind your skin type may allow the fragrance to latch on longer or even shorter than what I experienced. I experimented with vaseline and the fragrance remained fresher and longer for about 1-2 hours, so you could try this to see if the longevity improves for you.Projection is not too great, even during the initial 1-2 hours. My colleagues ... MoreJust as the name states, the fragrance is reminisce to a summer holiday at an island or a beach.

I experimented with vaseline and the fragrance remained fresher and longer for about 1-2 hours, so you could try this to see if the longevity improves for you.Projection is not too great, even during the initial 1-2 hours. My colleagues notice the scent at most a meter. After 2-3 hours the scent becomes close to the skin so you wouldn’t notice it on me unless we’re standing face to face. Again, could be the skin type.So why am I giving this a 5/5 when the performance isn’t the greatest? Easy, its because its special to me. Whilst you can find a fragrance thats popular, sophisticated, and high performance, its a lot harder to find one that you thoroughly enjoy from start to finish because it brings back some special memories that only you would know (and maybe those whom you shared those memories with). So for me its a very nostalgic and sentimental scent. There are other limey and coconut like fragrance in the market, but none I’ve found is more to my liking than VIW.Conclusion~ VIW is a tropical fragrance that has really nice lime and coconut notes. Obviously perfect for summertime. Scent doesn’t seem sweet nor musky, so it works as a unisex fragrance. I can see this works for young and middle aged groups, both new and experienced to fragrances. Longevity and projection isn’t great compared to others like Aventus or Green Irish Tweed, but if you love it like I do, go for it. Just be mindful of the price.
