Derby Club House Blanche

Olfactory Experience

Derby Club House Blanche aims for Creed's Silver Mountain Water, and it lands reasonably close, maybe 92%. The opening blast is a citrusy green tea accord; bergamot and mandarin are present, but a touch more synthetic and sharper than Creed's smoother blend. The heart pushes the blackcurrant note forward, making it slightly sweeter and fruitier than the original. The drydown offers a clean musk and sandalwood, but it lacks the mineral quality that defines Silver Mountain Water. Still, it's a pleasant, inoffensive, and bright scent.

Wear time & Sillage

This isn't a beast mode fragrance. Expect about 5-6 hours of longevity with moderate projection for the first hour, settling closer to the skin afterwards. It's office-friendly. You might need a reapplication mid-day if you want to maintain a noticeable scent bubble.

Conclusion

Look, Silver Mountain Water costs a fortune. Derby Club House Blanche offers a very similar vibe . It has some synthetic edges; you can smell where corners were cut. But it's hard to complain. If you want a nearly identical experience and have deep pockets, stick with Creed. However, if you're on a budget and just want to smell clean, fresh, and like you spent a lot more, this is a solid choice. It’s a great everyday dumb-reach, especially for the warmer months.
