Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance pyramid of Creed Original Santal begins with invigorating top notes of orange, lemon, and spicy ginger, creating a fresh and energetic start.

In the heart of the composition, lavender, peppermint, pink pepper, and rosemary unfold, adding herbal and aromatic nuances.

The base is strengthened by warm and long-lasting notes of benzoin, ambergris, sandalwood, Virginia cedar, and musk, concluding the composition with a deep woody trail.

This journey from citrus freshness to a cozy woody base makes the fragrance multifaceted and memorable.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The name sounds appealing, but in reality, it's just citrus freshness with spicy notes. Overall, it's quite pleasant and refreshing, mint clearly stands out. However, in the base, a strange salty-sweet aftertaste appears. As for longevity, Creed fragrances don't always impress me, but this one, I must admit, holds up quite confidently
4/5

This fragrance is complete nonsense. Freshness, yes, but some kind of spicy freshness, like mint and rosemary decided to throw a party, and it's not very pleasant. It doesn't feel like a perfume, more like an essential oil, but not in the best way. Cool, yes, but then some balsamic nastiness appears that just chokes you. My husband will definitely say it's rubbish, and I agree with him. I don't like it, and he definitely won't be into it
3/5

For some reason, the men's fragrances from this brand interest me more than the women's. In this particular scent, orange with ginger really delights, and lavender and spicy herbs add a bit of energy. The base of musk and benzoin leaves a heavy feeling. The gradient bottle looks attractive, but it doesn't save the situation. The fragrance reminds me of a man in an expensive suit, but it doesn't inspire admiration. The scent seems classic, but there's nothing special about it
