What Is Al Haramain L’Aventure Blanche a Dupe Of?

What is L’Aventure Blanche a clone of?

Al Haramain L’Aventure Blanche is a clone of Creed Silver Mountain Water. If you've seen Blanche mentioned alongside Creed and wondered which fragrance people mean, Silver Mountain Water is the one. The easiest way to start comparing them is with the citrus, black currant and sandalwood in their note lists.

How do the notes line up?

Blanche opens with lemon, bergamot, lavender and rose. Silver Mountain Water lists bergamot and mandarin orange up top. There's shared citrus here, but Blanche also puts lavender and rose into its opening profile.

Black currant appears in the middle of both pyramids. Blanche pairs it with jasmine, orris and lily-of-the-valley, while Silver Mountain Water pairs it with green tea. That's the main distinction we'd focus on when trying them together: the floral middle on Blanche's list versus Creed's tea-and-black-currant pairing.

At the base, both list sandalwood. Blanche adds amber, while Silver Mountain Water lists musk, petitgrain and galbanum. Those aren't interchangeable lists, even with the shared sandalwood. If tea and musk are what you love about the Creed, don't assume the matching citrus and black currant tell the whole story.

The note pyramids below give you both profiles in one place. They're useful for deciding what to sample, though they won't tell you exactly how the two fragrances develop on your skin.

Blanche, regular L’Aventure or Knight?

Make sure you're looking at L’Aventure Blanche. Regular L’Aventure is the Aventus alternative, and L’Aventure Knight points toward Green Irish Tweed. They share a family name, but they're different comparisons. A deal on one won't help much if you meant to buy another.

Should you try L’Aventure Blanche?

It's worth adding to your sample list if you're exploring Silver Mountain Water alternatives and like the sound of citrus, black currant and florals. We'd compare the middle and drydown as well as the opening, especially if the tea note is your reason for wanting the Creed.

Use the retailer cards to compare available sizes and prices, and double-check the Blanche name before ordering. If you're deciding between this and another Silver Mountain Water clone, a small sample of each is a useful first purchase.
