Is this a recent thing? I've recently got into fragrances and heard Creed thrown around as something of a 'pinnacle' purchase. I've used some testers and while they smell gorgeous, the performance has been horrendous. Aventus gets maybe 3hrs on me, all the way down to 30 minutes tops for Millesime Imperial. Really disappointing performance, especially given the price.

I bought Silliage as a blind buy. Tested it many times on my hand and didn’t really like it. The other day decided to wear it as my SOTD and caught wafts throughout the day and really enjoyed it. It’s moved up massively in my estimation. I learned a valuable lesson that frags need to be worn and smelt naturally in the air, not up close on your hand. 😂

I own Sillage and had a decant of SMW. In the air they smell almost identical, however when you smell them up close they’re differently very different fragrances. SMW has a light, airy, ethereal nature with a more prevalent musk accord whereas Sillage has a strong, punchy, slightly synthetic nature with a more pronounced ambroxan note. Sillage is the best performer in my collection; 10-12+ hours with 5-7 hours of projection and always gets compliments haha. However, I do not reach for it much because it’s so strong, not very versatile, has a slightly floral/feminine dry down, and doesn’t capture the “beauty” of SMW imo. If you want something that captures the DNA very very well with better performance for 1/10th of the price, and don’t mind sacrificing the beauty of the fragrance, then absolutely go for it and pull the trigger on this one.

You are very hilarious and quite charming comparing these two! While i would never spend over $200 for a bottle of SMW, I just received my bottle of Sillage and already I’m getting mad compliments on the smell. The dry down is the best part because it retains the masculine form but cools down with rose and floral tones from the citrus and ginger. I quite enjoy this fresh scent 5 stars and again a 10th of the cost! It’s a no brainer!

They smell the same but SMW is clearly better blended and has a sparkle/milky smoothness to it that sillage just doesn’t have. It’s not worth getting if you don’t care of the dna. It’s a similar situation to individuel and Santal. They smell the same on paper but individuel is cloying, while Santal is not. You get what you pay for.

Creed Silver Mountain Water would be my favorite fragrance of all time IF....IF the PERFORMANCE wasn't so weak! For the price of Creed the performance should at LEAST be 8 hrs. There is no way a fragrance that cost more than most peoples electricity bill should fade away so quickly. I am not a fan of clones but I have to say Silage is definitely worth the cost. The opening is identical to SMW only the dry down is different. Moral of the story CREED IS DONE! Creed has been robbing us for years then blaming below average performance on ''BATCH' variations. The fast that they never offer discounts or any deal for loyal customers shows lack of appreciation & complete snobbiness. I've personally purchased 4 different fragrances from creed & can honestly say I was extremely UNDERWHELMED each time. Love silver mountain water scent but the performance is just NOT ACCEPTABLE!
