Soft Haze is a lightweight, refreshing fragrance that closely mimics Creed's Silver Mountain Water, with a prominent mineral and black pepper opening, transitioning into a crisp cedar base. It captures the clean, slightly metallic essence of SMW without the harsh icy notes, making it simpler and more approachable. The overall impression is elegant and modern, with a soft, non-intrusive presence that suits daytime wear and warmer weather. Performance is the weakest aspect: longevity is generally brief, lasting only about an hour to a few hours, with sillage fading quickly unless heavily applied. Despite this, it's praised for its blend quality and affordability, especially when purchased at a discount. Many find it highly wearable as a summer or office scent, though its weakness in longevity may require frequent reapplication, particularly on skin.
