Wild Vetiver
Wild Vetiver by Creed is an unisex eau de parfum from 2023 in the luxury price tier. It opens with sichuan pepper, bergamot and pink pepper, moves into rose, geranium and blackcurrant and dries down to vetiver, cedarwood and amberwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
