True to its name, Original Vetiver is a dramatic re-invention of a Vetiver-based scent. Whereas traditional Vetiver fragrances are derived from the roots of the plant, Creed Original Vetiver achieves a new, natural, original freshness by infusing the Vetiver leaves into the blend. Almost watery with freshness, green, with a kiss of Mediterranean citrus and spice. Original Vetiver is a warm, sensual, original fragrance evoking the lingering sunshine and relaxed sophistication of summers in the South of France. A “universal” scent, Original Vetiver is equally alluring when worn by women or men. A favourite amongst Creed lovers, this is fragrance that was worn by one of America’s most beloved presidents JFK.

HOW IT WEARS
Original Vetiver by Creed is an Eau de Parfum that will give you around 8 hours of longevity on the skin. A fresh, crisp, just out of the shower kind of green with a dash of juicy spice, this classic uplifting fragrance combines citrusy notes with an infusion of Vetiver Leaves as opposed to the traditional use of the root, giving it a cleaner, fresher green composition which you’ll be inhaling joyously throughout the day or night.
LORE LOVES
We love how this fragrance reminds us of a gentleman. Classy, sophisticated and oh so refined, with quite possibly a cheeky twinkle in his eye. We just want to keep inhaling when someone is wearing this frgarance in our psace, it is just so sexy and intoxicating.
