Creed Silver Mountain Water

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge.

It opens on bergamot and mandarin orange, moves through green tea and black currant, and settles on musk, sandalwood and petitgrain.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
