Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Original Vetiver
This is a clean, green, soapy vetiver that screams 'expensive Irish Spring'. It's a gorgeous scent profile for many, but its shocking lack of performance for most means it's often dismissed as not worth the Creed price tag.

Our Verdict - Like Cannabis but Not
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't about weed. It's a surprisingly fresh, green scent with an intriguing metallic sweetness that manages to be both unique and universally appealing.
