Silver Mountain Water

Silver Mountain Water is a remarkably fresh, unisex fragrance that evokes the crystalline clarity of high-altitude mountain air. It opens with a bright, slightly metallic burst of bergamot and mandarin, followed by a subtle interplay of green tea and black currant that delivers a delicately sweet yet aromatic core. The drydown reveals a soft, almost powdery musk layered with subtle sandalwood and galbanum, creating a clean, delicate, and quietly elegant character. While it's universally regarded as unisex, many find it leans more toward the masculine side due to its restrained, purposefully cool aesthetic. The fragrance is best experienced in warm weather—particularly spring and summer—where its ephemeral, skin-scoring nature lends itself to a subtle, refined presence. Longevity is modest, often fading into a skin scent within two to three hours, and then disappears completely by the end of the day. Some note a subtle metallic or inky character in the middle notes, though others find this faint. Performance is inconsistent across batches, with newer versions lacking the intensity and depth of older ones. The price is widely criticized as excessive given its limited duration and sillage, placing it in contrast to more longer-lasting perfumes of similar price points.
