A love affair with Original Vetiver

Original Vetiver was born in 2004 and was created by Olivier Creed and Erwin Creed. It is one of those fragrances whose first sniff can change your idea of what a vetiver scent can be. While many vetiver-based fragrances are deep and smoky, Creed chose a different path: in Original Vetiver the vetiver is fresh, green and airy, yet still grounding. Original Vetiver is like summer sunshine that you can carry with you.

A symphony of notes

The balance of notes in Original Vetiver is a true masterpiece. Its aroma is a refined spicy and woody blend that still keeps an elegant freshness. Let's look at the main components of the fragrance:

  • Top notes: bergamot, ginger and mandarin, which create an energetic and lively first impression.
  • Heart notes: Haitian vetiver, sandalwood and iris give the fragrance complexity and depth.
  • Base notes: musk and amber add a warm, soft and lasting finish.

A fragrance for every occasion

Original Vetiver is designed to suit any situation. Its light, never intrusive scent lets the wearer feel comfortable at work as well as on a romantic date. Imagine a spring day in the park or an important business meeting where a fresh and graceful aroma complements your presence. Original Vetiver is not just a fragrance, it is a way of life.

The 2024 packaging refresh

Styles and aesthetics change with time. In 2024 Original Vetiver reached fragrance lovers in a refreshed design that is modern yet respects the classic character of the scent. True aesthetics lie in balance, and the new look helps the fragrance stand out in any perfume collection.

The king of vetiver in perfumery

Vetiver has always had a special place in the world of fragrance. Original Vetiver, however, takes vetiver scents to a new level. Creed has not simply used vetiver but has, in a sense, reinvented the way the "soul" of the plant is expressed in a scent. It feels as if vetiver has finally found its true home.
