Creed Original Santal, Sample
A magnificent unisex Amber Woody fragrance, Creed Original Santal envelops you in a rich tapestry of scents. The smoothness of sandalwood provides a creamy, grounding base from the outset, while the warmth of cinnamon adds a spicy, invigorating kick. Juniper berries lend a crisp, fresh nuance, brightening the opening with a hint of sharpness, which is perfectly balanced by the earthy, aromatic touch of coriander. This interplay of notes sets the stage for a distinctly regal and opulent scent that oozes confidence and charisma.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals a floral and herbal bouquet where the soothing notes of lavender and rosemary emerge, offering a soft, calming contrast to the spicy top. Ginger adds a subtle zing, infusing a lively energy, while petitgrain brings a green, slightly bitter edge that enhances the fragrance’s complexity. Together, these notes create a harmonious transition, maintaining the fragrance’s refined character.
In the dry-down, the fragrance settles into a classic base of vanilla and tonka bean, imparting a creamy, sweet finish that lingers beautifully on the skin. This combination exudes a comforting warmth, enveloping you in an aura of sophistication. The rich spices and herbs rest gracefully on this lush foundation, leaving an indelible impression. Original Santal is a testament to the art of perfumery, where each note enhances the other, crafting a scent that is both timeless and modern.
