For years, I strongly disliked this fragrance—when tested on paper, it always reminded me of a citronella candle. However, a few weeks ago, I decided to give it another chance and picked up a sample. To my surprise, it transformed beautifully on the skin, shedding the citronella-like note entirely. Instead, I was greeted with an unexpectedly pleasant bright, green, refreshingly fresh fragrance.
This experience taught me the importance of testing fragrances on the skin, as they can evolve unexpectedly and delightfully. I highly recommend sampling this scent before committing to a purchase. To provide some context, the shift between how this fragrance smells on paper versus the skin reminds me of Le Labo Santal 33. On paper, Santal 33 can have a peculiar dill pickle-like note, but it develops into something truly fantastic on the skin. Similarly, this fragrance might surprise you once it interacts with your skin's chemistry.
this is the best scent i’ve ever smelt in my life. It’s a very very green, fougére that minds me of a musky, woody, piece of green clover☘️ and its phenomenal.
A beautiful woody citrus that opens more citrus heavy but finishes woody and a little musky. Like any fragrance the performance depends on the person, I find it to be very long lasting especially when sprayed on clothes, 12+ hours easy. Projection is moderate, starts out the strong the first hour than tapers off and remains constant. Overall a very pleasant and clean woods and citrus scent that is very unoffensive, my personal signature scent. Obviously it is a creed fragrance so quite pricey but you get what you pay for.
It's good quality, but I don't like the ambergris, which dominates the rest of the notes. It's very overpowering and the vetiver loses its shimmer as a result. Not bad but not great.
I'd wear this. It depends what is surrounding vetiver to make a good composition...and this is just that. I think having vetiver in the name makes people expect a lot of that note but it all depends how it comes across, for me there's more vetiver heavy fragrances out there that really showcase and compliment that element. However, that doesn't stop it being a clean and green (they got that bit right!) fragrance that is as balanced and enjoyable as any other in the Creed line...just not one of my personal favourites.
