I love this stuff. Wild Vetiver opens with bergamot and pink pepper, and it just smells expensive right away. Not loud in a flashy way, more like that guy who always looks put together without trying. The amberwood in the drydown gives it a smooth, slightly warm backbone that makes the vetiver feel less earthy and more refined. Tbh this is one of those scents I keep sniffing my shirt for. It works in the office, on a dinner date, pretty much anywhere. Lasts about 6 hours on my skin, longer on clothes. Super easy recommendation if you like fresh woods and want something really polished.
This kinda hits that luxury barbershop spot for me, but way cleaner and more modern. The pepper note gives it a dry sparkle, and the vetiver is smooth instead of muddy. I get a little cedarwood too, which makes the whole thing feel crisp and tailored. If Green Irish Tweed is your fancy outdoorsy guy, this is his sharper, more minimal cousin. What I really love is how effortless it feels — fresh, masculine, but not aggressive. It doesn’t scream for attention, yet people notice it. Projection is moderate, maybe not beast mode, but it sticks around a solid workday. Really hard to fault this one.
Some vetiver scents can go too rooty or too smoky on me, but this one nails the middle ground. The bergamot opening is bright and uplifting, then the pink pepper adds just enough bite. Once it dries down, the amberwood and vetiver combo is so smooth and clean. It smells upscale without trying too hard, which is honestly my favorite kind of fragrance. I’d wear this in spring, summer, early fall, basically whenever I want to smell put together. Not a club scent and not trying to be. It’s more subtle confidence. Lasting power is very good on me, around 7 hours. Creed prices are what they are, but the scent itself is excellent.
This one really does feel like the name. Lift Me Up opens super bright on me with a juicy citrus sparkle, then turns creamy and smooth pretty fast. I also get a soft musky thing in the drydown that makes it feel polished instead of just fresh. It’s one of those perfumes that makes you stand straighter lol. Kinda niche-clean but still easy to wear, which I love. Not harsh, not overly sweet, just very put together. Performance is great too — I get around 7 hours and decent projection for the first couple. Honestly a 5/5 for me because it smells expensive, uplifting, and never gets annoying.
Really like this one. It opens super crisp with bergamot and that little pink pepper sparkle, then settles into a smooth vetiver/cedar thing that feels expensive without trying too hard. It’s not earthy or dirty vetiver at all, more polished and easy to wear. Kinda gives me the same clean rich-guy vibe some other Creeds do, just greener and drier. My only issue is the performance isn’t amazing for the price — I get around 6 hours and the projection chills out pretty fast. Still, I keep reaching for it because it just smells classy and effortless.
Tbh this smells fine. I get some airy musk, maybe a touch of bergamot, and a smooth woody base that keeps it neat and clean. It kinda reminds me of those expensive minimalist perfumes that make you smell put together without screaming perfume. The problem is... that's also why it feels a little boring to me. Not bad, not offensive, just not something I'd hype up, especially at this price. It's versatile and easy for everyday use, but I wanted more wow factor or at least a more unique twist. Lasted about 6 hours on my skin with soft projection. Decent, nothing special.
I like this a lot, just not quite love. It smells airy and smooth, with a clean musk thing and a soft floral touch that reminds me a bit of fancy shampoo in the best way. There’s also a light woody base that keeps it from feeling too generic. Kinda gives me the same easy appeal as some of the softer MFK stuff, but less memorable. That’s my only real issue with it: for an Initio, I expected a bit more personality. Still, it’s classy, super wearable, and works in basically any setting. Performance is decent, around 5-6 hours, with moderate projection early on.
This one grew on me fast. At first spray I got a fresh citrus lift, then a silky musky/floral drydown that feels really expensive without being heavy. It’s the kind of scent that makes people lean in instead of filling a room. I love that. It doesn’t go full beast mode, but honestly that suits the perfume. If you’re expecting something dramatic like Delina or Atomic Rose, this is way more restrained and smooth. My tiny complaint is that it can feel a little too polished, almost like it’s trying not to offend anyone. Still, I keep reaching for it because it just smells good and makes me feel clean, calm, and a bit fancy.
Tbh this feels like a very safe, upscale citrus-woods fragrance. I get bergamot right away, then amberwood and vetiver keep it smooth and slightly dry. It smells good, no question, and it’s easy to throw on without thinking. But that’s also the problem for me... it never really does anything special. If you already own a few fresh woody scents, this probably won’t blow your mind. It’s less sharp than something like Terre d’Hermes, and way less interesting than I wanted from Creed. Lasts around 6 hours on my skin with soft projection. Decent quality, just hard to justify at that price.
Tbh I love the smell, just not the price tag. Wild Vetiver is really nice if you want something fresh but not boring. The bergamot hits first, then I mostly get cedarwood with a soft vetiver in the background. It reminds me a little of Terre d’Hermes in the sense that it’s polished and easy to dress up, but this is smoother and less orange/mineral. Super wearable, great for work, and nobody will hate this. Minor flaw for me: it stays kinda close to the skin after the first hour. Smells high quality though, no harsh synthetic mess here.
This is easily one of my favorite modern vetivers. The bergamot up top is super clean and bright, then that peppery kick keeps it from feeling boring. After like 20 minutes, the vetiver and cedarwood settle in and it turns really classy without going stuffy. Kinda gives me the same easy elegance I get from Terre d’Hermes, but smoother and more polished. I love how natural it smells too — not harsh, not overly green, just really balanced. Performance is great on me, around 7-8 hours with solid projection for the first couple. Def a 5/5 if you want something fresh but still grown-up.
Yeah, this is gorgeous. From the first spray I get sparkling bergamot, then a dry peppery edge, and later that smooth vetiver comes through in a really classy way. It reminds me a bit of Grey Vetiver, but less stiff and more relaxed. That’s what I love here — it smells refined, but still easygoing and super wearable. No weird synthetic blast, no overly damp earthiness, just a very clean, expensive-feeling composition. I’ve worn it casually and dressed up and it fits both. Projection is strong for the first hour or two, then sits closer but keeps going. Def one of the best fresh woody releases I’ve tried in a while.
This is pleasant, but I keep waiting for it to do something more. On me it opens kinda bright with a citrusy vibe, then settles into a soft musky/woody skin scent. Nothing smells bad here at all, and I can see why people would call it easy to wear, but for Initio I expected a little more personality. It feels polished and clean, just a bit generic. Performance is decent-ish, around 5-6 hours, but the projection stays pretty close. I don't dislike it, I just wouldn't reach for it over other fresh musky scents I already own. Solid 3/5 for me.
This is really nice. To me it opens with a juicy citrus vibe, kinda bergamot-ish, then settles into something soft and musky with a little creamy wood in the background. It has that polished Initio feel without being loud or trying too hard. I love that it actually does feel uplifting and clean, but not boring-clean. Minor flaw: I wish the opening lasted longer because that first 20 minutes is my favorite part. After that it sits closer to the skin on me, but I still get around 6 hours. Not super unique, but super easy to like and def one of those fragrances I’d wear when I want to smell put together without overthinking it.
I’m usually picky with vetiver because it can go too rooty or too sharp on my skin, but this one stays smooth. The amberwood in the drydown gives it a nice modern warmth, while the bergamot keeps it bright up top. It actually kinda reminds me of Grey Vetiver’s clean style, just with a more upscale Creed softness. What I love most is how easy it is to wear — casual, office, date, whatever. Minor complaint: for something this refined, I wish it projected a little more. Still smells great when I catch it on myself, and that’s enough for me.
This is one of those fragrances that doesn’t scream for attention, but I really enjoy it. The opening has a nice pepper kick — pink pepper and that dry spicy vibe — and then the vetiver comes in clean and woody. I love this because it feels mature without being stuffy. Like a crisp white shirt in fragrance form. Not a beast, not a compliment bomb, just solid and refined. If you’re expecting something dark or super smoky, this probably won’t do it. But for daytime, spring, office, even a dinner out, it’s def a winner.
Tbh this is one of those scents that doesn’t wow me instantly, but every time I wear it I’m like wow, okay, this is really good. I get sparkling citrus up top, then mostly musk and soft woods. Maybe a subtle floral note too, but it stays very smooth and sheer on my skin. What I love is how effortless it feels. Super easy grab, never cloying, and it works in warm weather way better than a lot of Initio stuff. The only reason it’s not 5 stars for me is the price. It smells high quality, but the vibe is more understated than the brand’s usual dramatic style. Still very wearable and very classy.
Tbh this was a letdown. The bergamot opening is nice for like 10 minutes, then it turns into this dry peppery vetiver thing that feels kinda flat and oddly harsh on my skin. I wanted something clean and refined, but the cedarwood/amberwood combo comes off a bit synthetic to me, almost like a fancy hotel lobby trying too hard. Not dirty enough to be interesting, not fresh enough to be uplifting either. For a Creed, this feels super underwhelming and definitely overpriced. Performance wasn’t great on me either, maybe 5-6 hours and pretty close to the skin after the first hour. I love vetiver scents usually, but this one just didn’t do it.
This is nice, just not that exciting to me. The opening has a crisp bergamot thing with a little pepper kick, then it settles into a clean vetiver/cedar vibe that feels super polished and easy to wear. Very Creed in that expensive-soap way. I don’t dislike it at all, but for something called Wild Vetiver, it’s honestly pretty tame. I was hoping for more character or a dirtier vetiver edge. Performance is decent on me, like 5-6 hours, but projection stays pretty close after the first hour. Good for office or daily wear, just not something I’d reach for when I want to smell memorable.
Tbh I expected way more from Initio. Lift Me Up starts with a kinda bright citrus touch, maybe bergamot, then turns into this fuzzy musky-floral thing that never really goes anywhere. It’s not awful, just weirdly bland for a brand that usually does bold stuff. I kept waiting for some depth or a creamy woody base to show up, but on my skin it stayed thin and a little synthetic. Performance wasn’t great either — maybe 4-5 hours and pretty close to the skin after the first hour. For the price, this feels super unfinished. Not offensive, not memorable, and def not something I’d reach for over other fresh musky scents.
