See What People Think

Original Vetiver by Creed is a 2004 unisex fragrance, a woody spicy scent for women and men, or Creed Original Vetiver. It is a modern take on classic vetiver, infusing vetiver leaves into the blend for a fresh effect, paired with Mediterranean citrus and spice. The top notes are bergamot, ginger and mandarin orange. Iris, sandalwood and vetiver form the heart notes, and ambergris and musk close the base notes. Bergamot, ginger and mandarin orange keep the opening bright, and vetiver sits in the heart with iris and sandalwood. The result is a warm, sensual and sophisticated aroma. Summer and fall lead among wearers, who mainly wear it in the daytime and the evening. Anyone after a fresh, woody scent with a little spice for the warmer half of the year will like this one.
