A tale of two vetivers

The House of Creed celebrates vetiver with the classic sophistication of Original Vetiver and the untamed elegance of Wild Vetiver.

United by the same theme, yet distinct in their expression, these two fragrances share common traits and differences that will guide you towards the one that best reflects your personality.

Born of noble origins

Based on the same prestigious vetiver essential oil, both creations stem from Creed’s collaboration with a supplier who has been producing it since the 1960s, and from close cooperation with farming communities to ensure the highest quality and traceability. This precious essence lends an air of nobility and refined green and woody nuances to the base notes of both fragrances.

Natural nuances

Whilst sharing this same base, each vetiver fragrance expresses a distinct energy through an exploration of contrasting textures. This olfactory note is enlivened by clean, citrusy hints in Original Vetiver, whilst in Wild Vetiver it creates a harmony of vibrant fruity and floral accords.

Original Vetiver offers a lighter, fresher interpretation, drawing inspiration from the crystalline elegance of classic British eaux de cologne. Brimming with originality, it opens with a radiant burst of invigorating lemon and green notes, whilst spicy ginger and delicate musk slowly emerge, tempering the freshness with a subtle warmth. The earthy vetiver base anchors the composition and lends a touch of sophistication that endures over time.

Wild Vetiver, on the other hand, represents the freest and most untamed expression of a vetiver fragrance. Inspired by an English garden party set amidst unspoilt nature, it opens with the citrusy spiciness of hand-picked Timur pepper, before the centifolia rose unfolds at the heart of the composition. The result is a luminous floral and fruity scent that captures the charm of lush, untamed vegetation. On the base, the vibrant vetiver leaves its noble trail, lending the fragrance a woody elegance and a natural, enduring sophistication.

Occasions and versatility

Both Original Vetiver and Wild Vetiver are fragrances with universal appeal and exceptional versatility.

Original Vetiver is fresh enough to convey a sense of cleanliness and confidence in the workplace, yet it is also well-suited to accompanying life’s quieter moments and leisure time.

Wild Vetiver, on the other hand, reveals a lively personality, perfect for peaceful hours spent in the garden and for special occasions where conversation and good spirits take centre stage.

Creed fully embraces individual self-expression through perfumery and celebrates those who step away from the usual routine. This is why both Original Vetiver and Wild Vetiver can be worn at any time, reflecting the personality of the wearer.
