I had the 2003 and 2014 batches of SMW, loved it. An absolute stellar frag. Repurchased it again in late 2019, jeez, Creed have destroyed it. Zero projection, zero longevity, if I hadn’t bought it from the Creed counter in Selfridges I would’ve sworn it was a fake. I returned it and got a refund. I bought a bottle of Armaf Sillage and when I tried it it took me straight back to the 00’s. It’s an absolutely fantastic clone of the OG Silver mountain water. Highly recommended. Don’t waste your money on Creed.
Thanks for an exciting video. I got Club de Nuit Sillage by Armaf a few weeks ago. And I've never smelled Silver Mountain Water by Creed. All I can say is that, Club de Nuit Sillage by Armaf smells amazing on me. For a very long time and I am very grateful for. Greetings.
I’ve got a 2020 bottle of Silver Mountain water and it smells great, it really does, but like you said performance is just horrific. Maybe horrific is too strong of a word, performances just bad. I get about 30 maybe 40 minutes of moderate projection and then it completely disappears within 3 1/2 hours. For the price you’re paying and a prestige behind the name I would definitely expect better. I’ve been fighting myself for the past week and a half not to buy something Neel but I think I might Cave in stop in to aura fragrance and pick up a bottle of Sillage My buddy Michael buffer was telling me his bottle of Siaj will go a full 10 rounds.
I have SMW and Sillage and I think so far SmW is more softer sweeter higher quality. Sillage rn for me is harsh very strong. 1 spray of sillage is enough for me. SMW Smells to me better very easy to smell pick out the notes. Silllage is a little too synthetic and too strong for me right now. I just got sillage a week ago so I'll give it more time. Right now SMW is my favorite.
smw smells way more natural,i bought a bottle in 2020 and it's honestly one of my best projection creeds. I have aventis Viking cologne original vetiver and Himalaya and the silver mountain water projects the best, i don't mind any clone but when they smell synthetic
The Cremo stays in my gym bag for the post workout shower. Also got the body wash as well. But longevity is just not there. Smells good in the air. However that Armaf will last throughout the day. Honestly, you can get both for $50 bucks. But if you're satisfied with Cremo, stick with that.
I must be the only one who likes the Armaf bottle lol it's cute! I've had it in my cart for the longest and this vid convinced me to pull the trigger. Now if ONLY Armaf could make a dupe of "Original Vetiver" 😭😭😭
i bought this about 2 weeks ago a 50 ml bottle . having tried the 2020 batch , even if It lastre 2 hours ,i told myself that i love this smell.... When i recieved the bottle It was a 2021 batch mad in december...and they completly change the smell , they have changed the fragrance....and the longevità was about 20 mins. 😢
I tried Silver Mountain Water at Nordstrom and was obsessed and fell into the hype and bought it discounted on Maxaroma. But when tried a full wear of this stuff, I found that I had to spray a lot of it for it to last all day. That's kind of insane for such a high price point. I'm not gonna sit here and try to convince myself that it's worth it. The poor performance alone does not make it worth it. I bought the Dossier and Armaf dupes and I'm waiting for them to arrive so I can really do a comparison and see which one I like more, because I like to give every brand a fair shot. There's a good chance I'll end up returning the OG if I like the Dossier or Armaf dupes. We'll see!
Just ordered Sillage after having smelled Silver water in the store, honestly so far I haven’t enjoyed club de nuit fragrances. The are all too synthetic in the opening for me to wear, but hoping this one will change my mind on the brand.
Ordered (3/20) CDN Sillage should be in my hands next week. Never smelled SMW. I’ve watched easily 10 vids on SMW vs CDN SILLAGE. (❤️ I love your description of being at a hot spring and glacial water. I could almost imagine the smell. ) based on reviews, for $37.98 - I CANT GO WRONG. I’ll NEVER spend more than $250 for 100mL of fragrance. I did spend $24 for 2mL of Oud For Greatness but I made up for it by purchasing 100mL *clone Oud For Glory for $50 - *95% similarity on drydown and I get 2-3 hours instead of 8. So when I wear it, I take a travel atomizer with me.
@@My2Scents the Silliage was rather pleasant… no pun intended. However up close it has the signature CDNI horrible synthetic smell. Kind of smells like burnt plastic to be honest. Can’t see my self wearing it, I’d go for the original despite the performance issues.
I've also had issues with Creed in the last few months as I bought a new Aventus and the scent is completely different from the old ones. The fragrance feels watery and doesn't last even 2 hours. From now on I will not buy anything from the brand again.
I understand what you are saying, but I have a friend who is sensitive to fragrances. All of the fragrances I wear she has an allergic reaction to except one brand: Creed. She has no allergic reactions to any Creed I wear.
just curious out of the creed collection which ones are you keeping wanted to pick up a creed one day but not sure which one as i hear so many opinions out there.
@@My2Scents out of all the creeds and dozens of guys I follow for fragrances this has to be the first time definitely someone has mentioned royal Mayfair, awesome, royal oud I was considering on being my first but have never smelled but I think I like oud so I was leaning that way, even though they say is not really oudy from what I've heard.
Awesome review brother! I've got Sillage and I'm absolutely in love with it! Creed has definitely gone downhill ever since the Blackrock buy out and it's sad. Would love to see Armaf dupe Bois Du Portugal, Viking & Royal Oud! ;) Lots of love always my brother! :)
It’s my go to gym scent! Great Sillage. Walked up to my lady at the gym and she said holy cow you smell fucking amazing lol Mix this with molecule 01. You’re welcome!
take roughly 5000 ball point pens...of any color, doesn't matter. Crack them and put the ink into a bottle, you get sillage. I'll be throwing my bottle out soon...you're welcome for the DIY
Poor Jimmy 😂. I made the mistake of buying aventus a couple of years ago, I'd never buy another creed fragrance. Constant reformulation means you never know what you're gonna get, it's quite unfair really, besause if you buy a new bottle of something you know and love, it's almost like you're getting cheated by the brand!
I think the first question to ask is: Is this fragrance quality enough to be worth the $45? ..and does it smell nice? and the answer to that is ABSOLUTELY! With that said…… I’m glad I decided to buy last week. Now that I’ve sprayed it (10min ago) WOW!!! I’ve never smelled SMW but several YT reviewers have said things like.. “it’s a 95% accurate clone”, “better that the original”,“ Sillage is what Silver Mountain Water used to be before the reformulations”, “it’s like an amped up SMW”, and even called it “Creed Killer” 😳 Even at online discounters SMW is $250-$330 for tester bottles with missing caps. If you walk up to the average fragrance counter and say show me what I can get for $50. You aren’t going to get a fragrance this solid. This smells awesomely good 😍!!! Buy it!! You won’t be disappointed, and if you are… Gift it to someone… they won’t be disappointed.
Armaf killed it on this one ! Smw isn’t even worth it now ! The Quality and longevity is embarrassing! Sillage is a beast , smells so close and the power is great . And that books is amazing Pierre Bourdon got stiffed man ! It’s sad !
I find Armaf Sillage a bit sour/chemical-smelling up close. I never get that sour chemical smell with SMW. However, in the air, you can't really tell difference. I have to say SMW really isn't worth it compared to Sillage. Gotta say Armaf wins the battle for me.
I don’t get celery & I can’t honestly say they’re addicted to the white girl, but everybody’s got different palates & tastes. The world of perfumery is completely subjective as is life, but I love the feedback brother!

Totally agree Creed destroyed SMW I bought it for $300 but the longevity is only 1-2 hours it sucks!!
Sold! I’ve been deliberating a bottle of Sillage for the spring/summer
Great review!! I personally love Sillage, and think that it’s so good, that there’s simply no reason to buy SMW considering the price disparity.
Thanks Joe! Appreciate you stopping by brother!
Thanks for an exciting video. I got Club de Nuit Sillage by Armaf a few weeks ago. And I've never smelled Silver Mountain Water by Creed. All I can say is that, Club de Nuit Sillage by Armaf smells amazing on me. For a very long time and I am very grateful for. Greetings.

Lol, I love Club de Nuit's tacky bottles! This was a great review. Great breakdown. Subscribed😊
Never smelled SMW but I do have siallge and it smells absolutely amazing 👏 perfect for the summer!! 10 /10

I'd love to hear how Cremo Silver Water & Birch compares to Sillage. I have the Cremo and really like it, I just wonder if the Sillage is even better.
I have the Cremo and the Armaf. They smell super similar but the Armaf has a richer smell with more longevity to me.
The Cremo stays in my gym bag for the post workout shower. Also got the body wash as well. But longevity is just not there. Smells good in the air. However that Armaf will last throughout the day. Honestly, you can get both for $50 bucks. But if you're satisfied with Cremo, stick with that.
Thanks for the responses! I think I'm gonna get the Armaf for the boost in performance.
I must be the only one who likes the Armaf bottle lol it's cute! I've had it in my cart for the longest and this vid convinced me to pull the trigger. Now if ONLY Armaf could make a dupe of "Original Vetiver" 😭😭😭
I’m sure one day they’ll do OG Vetiver….knowing them 😂
It’s front and center in my collection! I love it too
Sillage is excellent; when I wear it I get a lot of people asking me what I’m wearing!
Great review Brian 😉And I guess 3rd times the charm( on the filming incident)😅❤️

if i had to buy one of these 2 which one fellas, armaf milestone or armaf sillage?
both are cheap af, just buy both....
@@nchou646 yeah good answer 👌 👍
just curious out of the creed collection which ones are you keeping wanted to pick up a creed one day but not sure which one as i hear so many opinions out there.
The only one I decided to keep is Royal Mayfair. It’s not for everyone but I love it!

Oddly I actually kinda like the inky note in club de nuit 😅
For wr creed apprentice said these are more like the original then what creed has. Said they keep raising prices but using less quality ingredients
Sold. ARMAF

Good review Bro. Some people in fragrantica are saying this smells like celery. I honestly think those people are coke heads. What do you think?

Thank you sir!
this is easy if youre poor get armaf if youre rich get creed
Poor Jimmy 🙁
😂😂😂
Lol .. good luck selling that creed now ! No one will want it after watching this 🤣🤣
😂 well I actually sold it yesterday, but I totally thought that after posting it 😂
The brand that rips off creed.
and Creed is the brand that rips off you! :)
@@hockeytard1 I've never paid full retail.
Even $220 is a ripoff for creed
I would pay $140 max for a 3.4oz
