Scentonym Analysis
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
The Scent Profile
CDN Sillage opens with a burst of bergamot and mandarin – a crisp, clean invitation. The green tea accord is present, but leans slightly sharper, less refined than Creed's Silver Mountain Water. Blackcurrant pushes through quickly. It’s fruitier here, edging towards synthetic, whereas the original maintains a mineral coolness. The drydown is where Sillage separates itself most. The musk is dominant, amplified, and lacks the nuanced, airy quality of Creed. Sandalwood is a whisper, overshadowed by the musk. Petitgrain adds a welcome touch of green, but can't fully recapture the sophisticated finish of its inspiration. Overall, it's about 91% similar.
Final Thoughts
CDN Sillage isn’t a perfect replica, but it captures the essence of Silver Mountain Water. It's a brighter, muskier interpretation. If you're after a bracing, clean, and energetic vibe on a budget, this is a strong contender. The original is undeniably smoother, but the price difference is significant.
Performance Reality Check
Sillage boasts impressive performance, especially considering the price point. On my skin, it projects strongly for the first 2-3 hours, then settles into a more intimate scent bubble for another 5-6 hours. Longevity is solid; I can detect it faintly after 8 hours. You will get noticed.
