Creed Wild Vetiver · Brotherhood Of Scent

Creed Wild Vetiver

This is a new release from Creed that they offered a sample to me of at the boutique. I was skeptical at first, as I’m not the biggest vetiver guy, but when i smelled it on paper, and then my skin, i was pleasantly surprised.

The name “vetiver” for the fragrance is a bit misleading, as it’s more of a juicy rose floral scent with a vetiver texture at the base.

The opening is bright and vibrant, with a blend of bergamot and pink pepper. The pepper gives it a slightly sparkling almost fizzy like texture and adds lot of lift.

The rose note at the heart is also active during the first spray, and lasts to the drydown. It’s the core that connects the sparkling, juicier elements with the more dry and woody drydown.

Rose is well blended with a black currant and geranium accord that makes it a more lively and stronger scent. It smells modern and classy, not dated. The black currant especially adds depth to the sparkle in the opening.

The rose stays throughout, connecting to a drier base of vetiver and woods.

Performance, exceptional, especially for a Creed scent. It has good sillage and amazing longevity. I get around 8-9 hours on me, and it pulls compliments well.

This was a very pleasant surprise from Creed. I enjoy their scents thoroughly, but none have really blown me away, except this one and Delphinus. I’m adding this to a “consider” list to buy a full bottle of. I could see this easily being a spring and summer signature.
