Creed Silver Mountain FOR MEN

Creed Silver Mountain FOR MEN - Fresh with scents of green tea & black currants. It is a very clean, sharp fragrance that surprisingly DOES evoke the 'the splendour, strength and light of French mountains' (or at least notionally: I can't ever recall the Pyrénées smelling quite like this but nonetheless..) It is certainly distinctive and unlike any other scent I've owned (my favourite being Dunhill Edition: no longer produced sadly). It is a very powerful scent; just a couple of sprays is sufficient to last a whole day so you can use it very sparingly (which is just as well given the price).

I tend to use this EDT only now and again as it isn't probably suitable for all occasions. However when I DO use it it is not unusual for people to enquire approvingly about what I'm wearing - more so than with other scents. I can also report that it loses little if any of its potency if left on the shelf over time: I've had a bottle now for probably over five years and it smells exactly the same now as when I originally purchased it.

Interesting is the best way to describe this cologne. When you first put it on it's so strong that it almost burns your nose, and its smell is kind of odd. It's very powerful, like pine scent (although it doesn't smell like pine) but also delicate like a rare flower. But the bottom line is that this scent definitely holds your interest, and I find myself smelling my wrists now and then just to get a refresher.

This is the perfection in a bottle. I normally don't pay attention to what my guy wears but I bought him this and I cannot keep my hands off of him when he wears it. The scent is irresistible to me
