Vetiver(1948)

A vetiver-forward composition from Creed's house perfumers, opening on bergamot and citrus before an overdosed vetiver heart, closing on sandalwood, musk, and oakmoss. Vetiver, the earthy, smoky root material from Haiti and Java, receives a dedicated single-note showcase here, predating Guerlain's own more historically celebrated vetiver composition by more than a decade. It represents part of Creed's mid-century output of citrus-and-wood colognes for men.
