A crisp, green take on vetiver, Creed Original Vetiver Eau de Parfum opens with lemon, ginger, and airy green tones before revealing a clean heart of vetiver brightened by cypress and coriander, then settles into a refined trail of white musk, cedarwood, and guaiac wood. Fresh, polished, and effortlessly modern.

Story & Positioning
Original Vetiver reimagines the classic vetiver theme by using multiple parts of the plant, including the leaves as well as the roots, to amplify a bright, outdoorsy freshness over a smooth woody base, instead of just including the root. It’s Creed’s clean-cut, white-shirt vetiver that reads versatile and refined for office, daytime, and warm weather wear. Community comparisons often point to the same fresh green, soapy family as Mugler Cologne, positioning Original Vetiver as the more luxurious, woody-vetiver interpretation for those who want clarity with character.
Bottle & Design
Presented in Creed’s signature flask-shaped glass with a green hue and polished cap, the bottle underscores the scent’s fresh-wooded identity while retaining the house’s timeless styling.

Notes for enthusiasts
The original 2004 note pyramid lists bergamot, ginger, and mandarin in the opening; Haitian vetiver, sandalwood, and iris in the heart; and musk and ambergris in the base, helping explain why earlier bottles can smell slightly creamier with more citrus-spice lift. The current note listing shown above reflects the 2024 update on the brand’s official pages.
