Key Notes of Musky Green Tea
What Does Musky Green Tea Smell Like
Dossier's Musky Green Tea perfume is an impression of Creed's Silver Mountain Water and it captures the same essence with its own blend of notes. On first impression, you are met with the sharp, citrusy scent of bergamot and mandarin, which brings an initial vibrant energy to the fragrance. These top notes are quickly complemented by the inclusion of green tea, giving the perfume a slightly earthy undertone that is relaxing and reminiscent of nature.
The middle notes of petitgrain, neroli and blackcurrant further deepen this natural aroma. Petitgrain provides a woody, slightly floral scent, while neroli brings a sweet, honey-like undertone. The blackcurrant adds a hint of tart sweetness, injecting a pleasing contrast against the more grounded notes.
As the scent settles, the base notes of musk, sandalwood and orris come to the fore. Musk gives the perfume a clean, slightly powdery scent which is warm and comforting. Sandalwood lends a rich, creamy, and slightly spicy aroma, while orris imparts a soft floral aspect to the perfume.
Overall, the Dossier's Musky Green Tea perfume is a blend that strikes a balance between citrus freshness, natural earthiness, and woody warmth. It captures the essence of an alpine adventure, taking you on a sensory journey from the bright bergamot peak, through the green tea valley, down to the musky sandalwood base.
Review of Musky Green Tea
Dossier's Musky Green Tea is indeed a pleasant alternative to Creed's Silver Mountain Water, effectively capturing the essence of the premium perfume at a fraction of the cost. For $39, you get a scent that feels crisp and invigorating, just like the original, albeit with a few key differences.
While Silver Mountain Water's natural sweetness harmonizes with warm notes like black currant and musk, Musky Green Tea leans more into the refreshing aspect of green tea and neroli. The initial burst of freshness is remarkable and long-lasting, leaving you with a cool sensation that's quite reminiscent of Silver Mountain Water's icy freshness. It's not a perfect match, but it's a commendable effort at a much more affordable price point.
Where Creed's scent stands out is in its performance - it easily outlasts the industry benchmark of six hours. Dossier's version doesn't quite reach that longevity, but it still manages to linger for a decent amount of time. The projection and sillage are also impressive in the first hour or two, but it becomes more of a personal scent as it dries down.
In terms of versatility, both fragrances are suitable for everyday wear. The bright, green notes make them ideal for warmer days and casual activities. The Musky Green Tea is also unisex, making it a potentially appealing choice for a wide range of scent enthusiasts.
Overall, Dossier's Musky Green Tea offers a good value for money and is a solid choice for those seeking an affordable alternative to Creed's Silver Mountain Water. It doesn't quite capture the full complexity and longevity of the original, but its refreshing, clean scent and affordable price tag make it a worthy contender in the world of perfume dupes.
