Delicious Blossom

How it Smells

Delicious Blossom opens with a fairly accurate bergamot and mandarin tandem, though noticeably sharper and less rounded than Creed's Silver Mountain Water. The green tea note is present, but leans towards a more astringent, almost plastic-like interpretation in the opening minutes. The heart reveals a blackcurrant accord. It's not as photorealistic as the original's. Instead, a slightly candied sweetness dominates. The base blends musk and sandalwood, creating a clean but simple drydown. The petitgrain contributes a slight bitterness. Overall, it mirrors the Silver Mountain Water DNA, achieving roughly 87% similarity. The main difference lies in the quality of ingredients. Delicious Blossom lacks the naturalistic sparkle of Creed’s offering.

Longevity & Projection

Expect moderate performance. Initial projection is within arm's reach for about an hour. The scent then settles closer to the skin. Longevity is approximately 4-5 hours on skin, slightly longer on clothing. Respraying will be necessary throughout the day. However, die-hard fans of the original will likely find its synthetic edges disappointing. If you're seeking a close approximation this is worth considering. If budget is the primary concern, Delicious Blossom is a viable, if imperfect, option.
