A fragrance originally created for David Bowie, Silver Mountain Water was inspired by skiing in the Swiss Alps. Suggesting sparkling streams of water coursing through the snow-topped Alps of Switzerland, feeling both relaxation and renewal in this pure and bracing landscape. The clean fresh mountain air, the scent of exhilaration, evocative of the sparkling high mountain streams of water. The silver cap for the bottle represents the snow topped mountain with a glistening silver stream. A refreshing infusion of Green Tea and Blackcurrants. As bracing as a pure mountain waterfall in springtime.

HOW IT WEARS
Silver Mountain Water is an Eau de Parfum that wears like a fresh, subtle aura of clean, giving the wearer at least 8 hours of longevity on the skin. Delicious and intriguing in it’s understatement, the obvious initial note of Mandarin eventually drying down to its earthier notes of Sandalwood, soft Musk and Tea.
LORE LOVES
We love how this fragrance originally concocted for David Bowie, smells just like we imagine David would have, if you’d been lucky enough to give him a hug. Both uplifting and soothing, if not a little bit mysterious. Alternatively, its watery purity may transport you to a glistening stream by a cosy chalet, nested discreetly atop snow-covered mountains. Either way, it smells deliciously fresh and clean.

There are far better fresh aquatics out there with far more depth and complexity. This one is too transparent for this price point in my opinion. If you’re after a fresh Creed fragrance Aventus and Viking blow this completely out of the Silver Mountain Water.

There are two things that make me love this fragrance: the girlfriend loves it and David Bowie wore it.

It was love at first spritz for Silver Mountain Water and me. Even the name is a giveaway for what (I think) I’d expect it to be. I have Aventus and love that also but I’m a “different fragrance for different occasion/mood/weather “ type of person. Silver Mountain is soft, creamy, powdery, very feminine and light.
For example, Silver Water I’d have no hesitation in re applying throughout a warm day to freshen up because it IS like clean, pristine running water which we know you can drink in Australia safely. On the other hand, if I compare it to Aventus once again, to me the name AVENTUS for a female fragrance conjures up a strong, no nonsense, intelligent woman.
I just think they’re totally different as no doubt they’re meant to be.
