Some men’s fragrances are all about the fruity scent. Others focus on notes of wood. Sometimes, you get a scent that blends a variety of aromas to perfection – and Silver Mountain Water is one of them.

It’s got the punch of citrus, combined with the alluring masculinity of musk and green tea – a winning combination! Our ‘inspired by’ version captures the appeal of the original, with a more budget-friendly price-tag.

Silver Mountain Water cologne – the facts

• Inspired by one of the world’s most popular scents
• Top notes of lime and mandarin
• Central notes of green tea and blackcurrant
• Base notes of sandalwood, musk and petitgrain

In this version of Silver Mountain Water, you’ll notice the following:

• A notable bite. The sharp, bitter fragrance of the green tea gives this scent some kick, combined with the acidic notes of lime and mandarin.
• Musky sweetness. Musk and petitgrain serve to soften the citrus, adding volume and complexity.
• Woody base. Sandalwood forms a solid, sensual base; making this version ideal for day-to-night wear.

It’s a fragrance that’s versatile and hard-wearing, and which changes subtly throughout the day. When you first apply it, you’ll notice the tang of lime and mandarin, followed by the sweetness of blackcurrant. The green tea becomes apparent shortly after (which gives this fragrance real personality), and this softens fairly quickly.

As the hours go on, you’ll detect those deep, rich base notes – sandalwood, petitgrain and musk.

Why is it called Silver Mountain Water perfume?

There’s something irresistibly clean and clear about this scent, in spite of the musky undertones. It’s an apt name, as it does bring to mind sparkling mountain streams and the smell of the Great Outdoors. In short, it’s a strong, masculine scent.

Some people question which is better – Silver Mountain Water vs Green Irish Tweed? Both are ‘outdoors’ scents, which are reminiscent of the countryside and exploration. The best way to decide which is best for you is to order a few samples. Test them out at work and in the evening, and see which one is more suited to your lifestyle. It’s also useful to ask friends and family for their opinion.

Our version of Silver Mountain Water is well suited to the following situations:

• Work / work events
• An evening out
• A day out with friends and family (even better, spent outdoors)
• A special occasion

It’s a strong, appealing fragrance, though if you’re going on a hot date, you might want something that’s a little sultrier and more alluring.

The average Silver Mountain Water review (our version, not the original) highlights not only the quality of the scent, but also its longevity. It’s not uncommon for it to still be detectable, hours after the initial application.
