What is the scent profile of SILVER SUMMIT SPRING?

The opening delivers an exhilarating rush of sharp bergamot and juicy blackcurrant, immediately evoking the bracing chill of high-altitude air streaming across snow-dusted peaks. Within the first 30 minutes, a distinctive metallic-ozonic quality emerges — not chemical, but evocative of minerals and the purity of glacial streams — while green tea and a subtle hint of galbanum introduce a herbal, almost meditative calm. This is the signature of the original composition created by Pierre Bourdon for the House of Creed in 1995, a fragrance born from Olivier Creed's passion for skiing in the Swiss Alps. As the heart develops over the next 1–3 hours, the tea note deepens, supported by a salty ozonic accord that mimics mountain mist, while the citrus brightness softens into a creamy, almost milky texture. The dry-down is where SILVER SUMMIT SPRING reveals its warmth: sandalwood and musk anchor the fragrance with subtle sensuality, leaving a trail that is clean, refined, and enduring — a whisper of the mountains lingering on skin.

Longevity & Projection

• Longevity: 6 to 8 hours — excellent longevity for this type of fresh citrus-tea fragrance. The roll-on format anchors the scent to skin for extended wear.
• Projection: Soft to moderate projection and sillage — a close scent meant to be noticeable when a few feet from the wearer
• Best Season: Spring, summer, and even sunny winter days
• Best Occasion: Daytime wear for casual activities or office hours

What Makes Creed SILVER MOUNTAIN WATER a Unique Aromatic Fragrance?

Creed SILVER MOUNTAIN WATER made its debut in 1995 as a modern olfactive expression of the purity of high-altitude air, and it remains distinctive for its metallic-ozonic character that sets it apart from typical fresh fragrances. Inspired by Olivier Creed's fondness for skiing, it was designed to evoke the sparkling high-mountain streams of water in the Swiss Alps. Unlike conventional citrus-aquatics, this fragrance incorporates a dry bitter citrus undertone met with black currant and tea notes that create something metallic, herbal, and fresh.

How to Wear SILVER SUMMIT SPRING

• Pulse Points: Apply the roll-on to inner wrists, behind the ears, the base of the throat, and the inside of elbows. These warm spots activate and project the fragrance throughout the day.
• Layering Tip: Layer SILVER SUMMIT SPRING with MILLESIME RIVIERA for added depth, or pair with TRINITY GROVE to enhance the woody undertones while maintaining the crisp, clean opening.
• Seasonal Wear: This citrusy tea freshness is perfect for warm spring or summer days, and even works beautifully as a light winter scent. Best worn during higher temperature days in spring and summer as a daytime fragrance for casual activities or office hours.
• Longevity Tip: Apply to moisturised skin for maximum longevity. The Fractionated Coconut Oil base adheres to hydrated skin significantly better than dry skin.
• Customise Your Scent: Add 1–2 drops of purelyBlack Bergamot essential oil to amplify the citrus brightness, or add Cedarwood to deepen the woody base and extend the dry-down warmth.
