Creed Orignal Santal

ORIGINAL SANTAL by Creed is a rich, warm, and sophisticated amber-woody fragrance inspired by the royal and spiritual splendor of the Indian subcontinent. Launched in 2005 and created by Olivier Creed and Erwin Creed, it is designed to evoke the warmth of Indian sandalwood, the richness of spices, and the lushness of a royal Indian garden. Fragrance Profile & Notes Original Santal is a masterclass in blending fresh, invigorating openings with deep, creamy, and spicy warmth: Top Notes (The Spark): A vibrant, unexpected, and uplifting burst of Indian sandalwood, cinnamon, coriander, juniper berries, ginger, and rosemary . It opens with a sharp, aromatic spice mixed with immediate woodiness. Heart Notes (The Bloom): A warm, luxurious, and slightly powdery heart featuring lavender, orange blossom, rosemary, and ginger . These notes smooth out the spice, adding a clean, aromatic floral balance. Base Notes (The Dry Down): A rich, sensual, and sweet foundation anchored by sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla, cedar, and benzoin . The dry down turns creamy, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting on the skin. Key Characteristics Vibe: Regal, warm, inviting, and sophisticated. It carries a distinctive, luxurious sweetness that feels smooth and velvety rather than cloying. Longevity: Offers strong performance, typically lasting 7 to 9 hours on skin with a pleasant, noticeable sillage that softens into a cozy scent bubble. Best For: Exceptionally versatile for cooler weather (autumn and winter) and evening wear, but its bright, spicy-fresh opening also allows it to transition well into crisp spring days or upscale casual settings. The Bottle Housed in Creed's signature heavy glass flask silhouette, Original Santal is traditionally presented in a deep crimson-red bottle with golden accents, reflecting the warmth, spice, and royal Indian heritage that inspired the fragrance.
