Silver Mountain Water debuted in 1995, created by Pierre Bourdon with Olivier Creed and inspired by Olivier's love of skiing in the Swiss Alps. The composition pairs sparkling bergamot and mandarin with a watery green-tea and blackcurrant heart, resting on a clean musk-and-sandalwood base to suggest the sensation of cold, glittering mountain water. It became one of Creed's most beloved unisex releases and a benchmark for fresh, tea-driven fragrances. Often cross-shopped with Green Irish Tweed, it offers a cooler, more aquatic-green alternative within the Creed line.
A breezy, slightly metallic blend of bergamot, green tea and blackcurrant over light musk and sandalwood — meant to evoke cold Swiss mountain streams. Understated and very wearable, though longevity is on the softer side.
Nose: Pierre Bourdon, Olivier Creed
