Original Santal

Original SantalOriginal Santal Unisex Cinnamon, juniper, ginger, and tonka bean with a sandalwood heart the Creed that consistently earns stronger performance reports than almost anything else in the catalog and the recommendation that comes up when someone wants a Creed that actually lasts. Launched in 2005 by Olivier and Erwin Creed as an interpretation of a fragrance originally created for Emperor Franz Josef of Austria Hungary, Original Santal is a spiced woody

clean musky quality

slightly tropical-floral

introduces oud in a register that the house describes as "astonishingly fresh" (the lavender ensures this)

The honey-mossy base is where Pour Homme fully reveals its 1970s credentials and its genuine artistry

This intense unisex Oriental Woody fragrance is a dark

slightly jammy floral support without sweetening the composition into feminine-floral territory — the rose here reads as structural warmth rather than the leading note

Base Notes (2 hrs and beyond) Vanilla · Musk · Sandalwood

Saffron-oriental and accessible-oud enthusiasts who want beast-mode performance with a genuinely luxurious note character

Collectors who found the Parfum slightly too deep for daily rotation but want the same DNA in a daytime register

formal evening occasions

slightly dirty

The benzoin base is warm
