Original Santal
Cardamom, coriander, pink pepper — read like that it sounds simple. Creed Original Santal is not.

How it moves
It arrives on cardamom, coriander, pink pepper and rose — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Cinnamon, nutmeg and orange are where it actually lives. The base is sandalwood, Tonka Bean, vanilla, musk and cedar. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
What wearers say
4.02 out of 5 across 3,300 ratings — well loved, and not quietly.
Who made it
Olivier Creed composed it in 2005, for Creed in France. A warm spiced sandalwood built around cardamom and cinnamon, popular as a cozy cool-weather crowd-pleaser.
