2 VIBRANT WOODY FRAGRANCES - ORIGINAL SANTAL & ORIGINAL VETIVER by CREED

[@FragranceGuy123-zx5oy]

Original santal and original vetiver are both amazing great compliment getter

[@sharifradwan4515]

Dude, let Josh speak :) I do love your reviews, it was nice having the 2 of you review these two in that cross referenced way, I was after Original Santa, but now I'm tempted to get both. I'll let you know what I think of either or both. I like the way you both contrasted GIT with OV.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Ah yes🙃 I get way too excited for my own good!! I promise that I get better at this😬 These episodes are early in my channel journey and you're absolutely correct..."shut up bro!"😂 Awesome to hear from you @sharifradwan4515, and I do look forward to hearing your thoughts on these ones as you test....which will be the stand out hit???

[@lesliefoldy2767]

Love Original Santal. Super aromatic, but doesn't shout. Put some on my hand at 7 p.m., and it was still beautiful at 7 a.m. My signature scent.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

So good to hear from you Leslie and appreciate you sharing💫 it’s good to hear that this fragrance isn’t just for the boys… an incredibly versatile fragrance Thanks again for jumping into this conversation🙏🏼

[@awknsl6398]

Oh my God Lesie! I'm so happy to have found another lady that lives this fragrance just as me!.❤🎉🎉

[@aromafromheaven]

just wow guys super enjoyable video as always!what two fantastic offerings from the great house of creed.really magical.thanks brothers for the beautiful video.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Bardissan

[@megasoid]

Original Santal is not one of my favorites from the house, but Original Vetiver suits me just fine and works well during spring and summer days. Love Creed.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Funny, that Original Santal doesn't hit the mark for you....I LOVE wearing this one. I joke in this video that it's Brad Pitt's character in "Once upon a time" but it's true, this is my confidence booster (understated but powerful); it changes my mood. And yes Original Vetiver is that perfect spring fragrance....fresh, clean, masculine

[@Viking700]

The comparison with cliff booth is incredibly! No other Parfum would fit more for this guy than Original santal

I tried the Creed Vetiver in store. It reminded me of a pine toilet/urinal disinfectant, I'll stick with Guerlain and Tom Ford.

[@TrulyMade]

There’s a reason why the original vetiver keeps getting sold out. I had a sample of the original vetiver and I was shocked, to me it smells better than the Royal oud. The green Irish tweed smells like the Irish spring soap lol But the real banger just might be spice and wood. Good luck finding that one.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I agree @PK Thunder whoa! Original Vetiver is a classic and as you mentioned there's a reason why it continues to sell well...perfect, clean, gentleman's fragrance I do love Green Irish Tweed and I definitely have a radar for this scent...I can pick it up instantly when others are wearing it (I impressed a waiter at a restaurant that I went to recently, as I complimented him on his fragrance and then asked "is it Green Irish Tweed?" he was flabbergasted that I knew the fragrance😂) Thanks for jumping into the conversation; great to hear from you 💫

[@Opie-bi8re]

Creed is great for spring summer early fall. The house has No station power in the cold weather. Still worth the discount price for warm weather or cool nights.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yep, I have to agree. They perform so well in warmer weather. As soon as it hits spring...boom! Out they come😎 Great to hear from you @Opie-bi8re

[@joeyc8622]

I have just acquired Green Vevitar a few weeks back. I use it the same day I have good wet shave, with Proraso Green pre shave, soap, balm and splash. I follow that up with a generous 6-8 sprays of Original Vetivar. For me it’s gone by lunch but by that time I been in about 10 cars, been outside in the heat, drank a espresso or 2. I Imagine If was in a home office or air conditioned office the fragrance may last longer. But I am extremely happy with all my Creed’s except Silver Mountain Water and it performance. 20-30 minutes inside emery home before I have even left and it’s gone. Bad batch ? supplier not stored it properly ? but I’ve heard similar form some at each corner of the globe. I believe that much of an issue should be attended too.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Hey Joey, great to hear from you and I love your ritual😇 I'm also glad that you shared your activity movements and yes, all my reviews are based on me moving around way less than you. My work is office based in an air conditioned or heated venue so the longevity and sillage in my space isn't going to compare to your activity. But having said that it seems you get good milage from your Original Vetiver considering that it's not really designed as a 'beast mode' type of perfume. I haven't crossed over to Silver Mountain yet, not in my collection but I hear you regarding the longevity on this one. I'll ask Michael from Libertine as he is the fountain of all knowledge; he'll have an answer on this Great to hear from you Joey👊🏼

[@u.u.u9969]

OV smells lime lemon on me all the way through. It doesn’t change. I smell like lemon all day

[@Executer1100]

Out of my not small collection which contains many luxury fragrances like Roja, Spirit of Dubai, Xerjoff,Boadicea etc if you ask my girlfriend which she likes the most she will choose every Creed with Orignal Santal as her nr 1 🙂

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

That sounds like an awesome collection Filip; I would love to know what's in your Roja line up....I've started to explore these and would any recommendations. Your girlfriends response is not unusual. Same for my wife. Everytime I'm wearing one of the Creeds; she always comments....in fact, when I say it's Creed, her response is "Of course it is" As always great to hear from you Filip

[@Executer1100]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Currently from Roja I have Fetish, Enigma perfums, Sweatie Aoud and Diaghilev and sampled many more. Other than Sweatie which in my opinion is mediocre for the price I recommend those 3 highly. I believe Fetish will be your favorite. Also Musk Aoud, Oman, Brittania and Oceania are nice to try

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

@@Executer1100 I've tried Britttania, Oceania, Musk Aoud and have loved all 3 of them (I have Enigma Cologne....need to try Parfum). Awesome collection Filip. As mentioned, I need to explore these in greater detail as I know that I'm going to love all things Roja...mission for 2022!

[@Executer1100]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Roja is a great brand and honestly you hardly can go wrong with any of his offerings, however is a pricy one 😭

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

@@Executer1100 Yep I hear you on both counts. It's the price that has slowed me down....I want them but need to keep saving. You've done well though mate! Awesome collection

[@seezyc158]

These are two great daily driver scents - easy reaches, comforting and yet they have enough intrigue to be signatures. I have this inverse relationship with Creed where I appreciate the craft of the obvious choices like Aventus and SMW. For instance, I think that Royal Oud is entirely overrated and rather dull - it’s a linear and thin chalky wood fragrance. I have the revered Spice and Wood and it’s really a one dimensional prototype for the modern classic Viking! Sometimes I just accept what smells good without trying to niche-fy myself 😂

[@codpieceofjustice4595]

New to your channel. This was an excellent review. I'll be sure to watch you guys more.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

So glad you enjoyed this episode; awesome to hear from you @codpieceofjustice4595💫

[@snowpeaker]

No mention of original Santal being sweet? It’s much sweeter to my nose than original Vetiver. Just got a bottle of OV today. F batch with metal cap.

[@Dicko2909]

A few years ago you could have bought Joop/MB Individuel and Mugler Cologne for less than half the price of just one of these Creeds. And had a better experience wearing them because you were getting originals and hadn't paid for what were essentially overpriced clones.

[@SaadMohyuddin]

6-7 hrs with 2 sprays of Original Vetiver? Come on guys. That's a stretch. I have numerous Creeds. The only ones that last appreciably are GIT and Royal Oud.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome to hear from you @Saad Mohyuddin and since reading your comment last night, I couldn't wait to get back into the office where I had left the Original Vetiver. In the lead up to filming both Josh and I tested and we record what we're experiencing and independently we both wrote down 6-7 hrs....which off the cuff seemed right to me and the way that I experience this fragrance But today, I'm going to get scientific and I'm testing again😎. Only one spray this time on the wrist and see how we travel....got in early this morning (7am and sprayed then)....it's 10.30am now and I'm still picking up the fragrance. Will write in again after 1pm and report back And yes, Royal Oud and GIT are powerhouses....big love for both of them. Thanks Saad, great to hear from you buddy

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Ok reporting in😎 So my bottle performed like I thought it would. With one spray on the wrist, it took me comfortably to midday (I sprayed at 7am). It was around 11am that I wasn't picking it up as I moved around, but yes, when I lifted my arm to smell. If I'm wearing the fragrance on a normal day, I always spray 3 times (sternum, stomach and one on the wrist) and find that I get a comfortable 6-7 hours out of it. Thanks again @Saad Mohyuddin, appreciate you commenting👊🏼

[@steveg8707]

Question: 2007 original santal vs. 2011 original santal?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Ooh, not sure on this Steve?? I know that I purchased mine in 2019 but haven't had the chance to test out any others....sorry my friend

[@keyodi]

I smelled Original Santal years ago and it reminded me of a freshly made Cinnabon, recently I smelled it and the scent was completely different it smelled like Joop homme a synthetic syrupy mess. Was it reformulated?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you @ayeo philly, awesome question. I do know that fragrances are reformulated from time to time to comply with the IFRA regulations. But your question is did Creed "mess with the magic"....that I don't know?? Since I only got into niche perfumery since 2017, I only know what is currently out there, so can't compare to anything earlier than that. Thanks for sharing...maybe there's someone that can shed light on this for you.

[@antonioharvey2130]

Original vetiver is my SOTD

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome choice Antonio, such a clean masculine fragrance...love it😎⚡️

[@sandrolaurignano2461]

With the exception of Royal Water,Royal Oud and Green Irish Tweed,I find Creed weak.Everything went up about $100.00 at discounters,not worth purchasing anymore...except for Royal Oud.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Next week it's all about Royal Oud and Himalaya....really enjoy both of these a lot (but Royal Oud has my heart) Great to hear from you @sandro laurignano

I have to agree with you Julio. I feel that these guys get a lot of heat but I really enjoy their fragrances. I still feel that they're unique, enjoyable to wear and I always get compliments/feedback from others when I'm wearing these fragrances. My brother I have never heard of your SOTD....it's clear that we need to do another episode together. We should do like a 'beast mode' one....thoughts?

[@JT-rx1eo]

I think I'm losing my mind's nose. Help me out here Marcelo. I have a bottle of Creed Original Vetiver. Here is what I get from OV: Soap. SOAP. SOAP! SOAP, SOAP, AND SOAP!! Soap soap here. Soap soap there. Everywhere a soap soap. Soap is the 500 lbs. gorilla in the room with this fragrance. Did I say its soapy? It's the most squeaky clean fresh out-of-the-shower smell of any frag other than Mugler Cologne I've ever smelled. Do you two get soap with this? I think your "sparkling, fresh and bright" equates to what I'm smelling as soap. Also, to briefly change the subject, I'm test wearing Frederic Malle Geranium Pour Monsieur and I don't get the appeal in it that everyone else seems to in the reviews. Do you have any experience with Geranium Pour Monsieur? I like mint-dominant and deeply mentholated scents. I have Drakkar Noir and Sox of its near-clones, Diptyque Eau de Minthe, and even Creed Viking. And all of them are better that Frederic Malle Geranium Pour Monsieur. What am I missing with Geranium Pour Monsieur?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

😂 James, let me get this straight; you get soap on the opening.....did I understand correctly?? As a kid my father would make soap from scratch. Some batches would be with olive oil and some batches with pig lard. Let me tell you, Original Vetiver does not smell of 'soap' (especially when he was brewing a pig lard batch🤢). I've always had a super sensitive nose and the days he was brewing the pig lard (in the shed outside), I had to leave the house altogether, the smell was disgusting. What I'm picking up in the opening of Original Vetiver is the vibrant Lemon (which I guess can be translated to the essence used in soap).....but the ginger also pops for me. As mentioned, when I first tested this fragrance, I was convinced it had lemongrass. For me, I love that vibrant opening, it's happy and over the top, but it works to keep it in the dry down. I haven't had a chance to test Geranium Pour Monsieur, but will make it a priority to test out and see what this does for me....will report back Captain👨🏼‍✈️ Great to hear from you mate👊🏼

[@jamesrutkowski7222]

Totally disagree on the soap smell. I agree with the video.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Here, Here! Great to hear from you James

[@marketomega]

🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@JT-rx1eo]

Makes no sense to me and many other people. I've used soap almost every day of my long life and OV is dominant soap. Lol. But to each their own. But I say the same thing to flat earthers.
