The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1948, Vetiver by Creed was crafted by Henry Creed Fourth Generation, marking it as a classic within the brand's storied history. The composition opens with bright citrus and bergamot, giving way to the earthy warmth of Vetiver and ginger. The base notes of ambergris and Virginia cedar lend an animalic depth that makes this fragrance both complex and compelling. Vetiver by Creed is not just a scent but a reflection of the brand's legacy of crafting fragrances for discerning individuals.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient as Vetiver has a long-lasting base that continues to develop throughout the day. It works well in both daytime and nighttime settings, though its earthy warmth is particularly noticeable after an hour.
