Creed Original Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Erwin Creed and Olivier Creed. Original Vetiver opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambergris. Creed's Original Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

Its clean, fresh, and often subtle sillage makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear.

About

Original Vetiver bursts forth with a zesty, bright citrus opening of mandarin and bergamot, sharpened by a hint of ginger. This vibrant start quickly settles into a heart of clean, green vetiver, softened by powdery iris and creamy sandalwood, evoking a luxurious soapiness. The drydown melts into a gentle musk with a whisper of ambergris, leaving a fresh, refined skin scent.
