Absolute MASTERPIECE. MUST OWN! My favorite scent. Didn't like at first spray as I got the metallic plastic smell but after wearing it I fell in love with it. Can be worn any time of the year. Bond #9 will now have to be regarded as one of my favorite brands JUST b/c of this scent. Wear this at least twice before making a judgement.
10/10

Loved first blast of mint but did not care much for the sweet vanilla drydown.

I agree it is slightly on the feminine side though I was suggested this by a man. Best marine scent available b/c it smells great and lasts much longer than any other marine scent I've encountered. If Erolfa had this longevity it would probably be my #1. The only thing I'd change would to be make it a little less feminine. Two thumbs up though.

Doesn't get much better than this!! Took me about 3-4 wearings to appreciate it however. The grandaddy of woodsy scents. The only thing I'd change is increase the longevity a little. MUST OWN.

Absolutely lovely aquatic. Can't see how anyone would not like the first 30 minutes of this scent??? However, due to the poor longevity it will not be bottle worthy and since I'm a stickler for longevity it will be a neutral in my book.

Class in a bottle. By far a much better scent than Dirty English or any other newer mass distributed woodsy scent. Must own.

Initial impression = smells like BO!!
Second impression = love the stuff, sexy
Third impression = got tired of the strong patchouli after a few hours
Final impression = neutral

Also, this is a fresher/younger Givenchy Gentleman and though I will get stoned for writing this, I believe it is a little better too.

Unique style melonish? scent. Longer lasting than most fresh scents. Unique. One of Bond's best. Though not a priority with me but the opposite sex seem to like it too.

Similar to Bois du Portugal as mentioned. Just a little vanilla added and less potent. Average longevity but amazing scent. Can't see how any man could not like this.

Another winner from Guerlain!! I am consistently amazed at the scents they offer (at least for men). This scent reminded me of a smoother, less intense gourmand eventually. An elegant version of Lolita Lempicka, Rochas Man, or Angel without any harsh notes. I really can't describe the top accords too well so I'm not going to try. I have yet to find a masculine Guerlain I didn't like (yes, that even includes the underrated Guerlain Homme).
8.5/10

The drydown is the closest to a masterpiece that I've ever smelled. An elegant orange wood.

Don't think you can get any closer to Silver Mountain Water without actually going out and buying Silver Mountain Water. Could not believe how close this is to it. SMW is a little stronger and has better longevity though. Don't know whether to praise Gillotin for his recognition of an awesome scent in SMW or think it is cheesy for the apparent rip-off. Just my 2 cents.

Smells similar to something I used to own but can't remember. Too much orange for me to be honest. Not terrible but to be honest not inventive either. Smell before buying.

At first I really wasn't sure about SMW. It pretty strong for a fresher scent. However, after an hour or so it becomes highly addicting and couldn't help but smell it over and over. Definitely going to buy a bottle. Haven't found a scent that is similar so far. It smells nothing like the other Creeds I own (MI, OV, OS, GIT). Not sure if it smells like any of the older Creed scents but I am going to find out soon!
A must own!

Not a highly original scent and is very sweet. For those who do not like sweet STAY AWAY. I like others don't smell much sandalwood and believe this is a scent for younger (below 40) men and women. I have yet to find a woman who does not love this. I wouldn't say this is a must own but you won't ever regret having this in your collection.

This one grows on you. At first it is a great smell but not an amazing scent. After multiple wears you really start to see the quality of the scent. As with most Creeds longevity is moderate at best. However the lovely scent it provides for the first 2-3 hours is heavenly. A must buy for anyone 20-35 years of age. May just be my favorite.

Very sharp scent. Fresh at first but this goes away quickly. May not be well liked for those used to the new boring generic colognes. Develops nicely with good sillage and longevity. I think I will have to buy a full bottle.

Very nice intial blast of citrus but just doesn't last long on my skin. Almost gone after 30 minutes. A shame b/c it definitely has potential.
