Oud like never before...
I tested this fragrance for the first time today and I am very enthusiastic. I should mention that I tested the perfume oil, not the spray.
The top note is a very fresh aloe vera scent (the freshness surely comes from the grapefruit) with fruity undertones. However, this fades away very quickly for me, and what remains I find extremely intriguing. A peach - oud combination, I have never smelled anything like it before, but it is a great idea. The oud here is not captured by rose or honey, but by the fruity notes of the peach. Very successful, very long-lasting, and a recommendation for lovers of extravagant scents!
Contrary to previous speakers, I don't find the sillage to be that strong either, at least it's not a scent that tends to create a cloud, but rather stays relatively close to the body (though this may also be due to the fact that I tested the oil).

Mandarin Mountain Water...
...for whatever reason Silver Mountain Water. I actually associate that with cool, metallic hints, which are present, but the main note I smell is mandarin. And it's one that has been sitting in the fruit bowl for a while and is about to start going bad. A previous reviewer mentioned something similar, and I can absolutely confirm that. Besides the mandarin, I smell some aquatic notes, maybe a bit of tea, and the typical Creed musk note, which at least somewhat justifies the "Silver" in the name with its metallic nuances.

But well, it’s not about the name. The scent itself is not bad, by any means. It’s an absolutely suitable everyday summer fragrance, perfect for the office. It exudes a fruity freshness and stays close to the skin. Overdoing it is actually not possible, as the sillage is low and the scent is quite fleeting. I expected more in terms of longevity. A fragrance that doesn’t offend anyone, but also doesn’t stand out. Therefore, I find the price unjustifiably high. A scent that you can wear, but don’t have to ;-)

For the price range, it simply comes across as too boring, without surprises or twists. More streamlined and almost too synthetic.

A Sea of Roses...
I received a sample of this fragrance, many thanks to MonCherie!
With great anticipation, I immediately used the sample to test the scent.

The top note consists solely of rose for me. I have never smelled such a beautiful rose in a perfume, oh not just one, many rose bushes are present in this small sample. I have never encountered such a beautifully natural rose scent. I perceive it not as a white rose or a deep dark rose, but as a pale red rose. Delicious!

Oud remains discreetly in the background, but comes through more and more from time to time, and I must agree with previous reviewers, apart from the dominant rose and a little oud, I hardly notice the other components. The oud is not medicinal or sharp, but is very well balanced.

You can feel that there is something else, but it is not clearly definable. So for me, it is a true work of art, wearable for both men and women. The longevity is fantastic and the scent is abundant.

Pampelmuse delicate...
So this little water really has something to it. The scent in the top note reminds me of a freshly cut grapefruit. You can't convey this delicious scent any better. On hot days, it means pure refreshment.

After about 20 minutes, this delightful freshness fades a bit, leaving behind the much-praised vetiver - cedar note. Unfortunately, this is not particularly intense on my skin and dissipates quite quickly. In my opinion, that’s exactly what the fragrance is meant for, a quick refreshment for in between, especially on unbearably warm days.

So definitely have the bottle with you :-)

European Orchard...
Apple and pear, slightly fermented (but delicious) along with freshly mown grass, a bit damp with a bitter, sour note, and there you have the perfect summer fragrance.

I am thrilled with this garden; it is the best in the entire series for me. Now, it’s again a question of skin chemistry. I cannot agree with the previous speakers and find this scent very wearable for men under 40. It is a bit sweet, but the bitter and slightly sour grass note balances the sweetness and makes the fragrance very summery and rounded. For me, the pear comes through particularly well, the apple joins in, and the grass takes on the sweetness.

I have been approached about this fragrance in my collection more than any other.

Conclusion: It suits me, and to the gentlemen, please don’t just spray it on the test strip, as it is noticeably sweeter there; instead, please test it on your skin and approach it without bias despite the comments.
