Creed Selection Verte is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1901, created by Henry Creed Fourth Generation. Selection Verte opens with Citrus, Neroli, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Green Notes and Mint, and dries down to a base of Ambergris. Creed's Selection Verte carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly classic citrus-mint blend, Selection Verte polarises opinion between natural-smelling masterpiece and overpriced mosquito repellent. If you're lucky enough to be in the former camp, you'll adore its timeless, refreshing character, despite its fleeting nature.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Selection Verte bursts open with an invigorating blend of sharp citrus and zesty neroli, spiked with a hint of peppery warmth. This vibrant start quickly settles into a heart of cool, green mint, reminiscent of a freshly muddled mojito. The journey concludes with a subtle, marine whisper of ambergris, grounding the lively top and heart notes with a refined touch.
