Our discussion on how Creed's Original Vetiver fares. It's green, clean and soapy...and not really vetivery.

I smelled this and instantly thought, "this is what James Bond smells like." This fragrance is AWESOME. It's a bespoke tuxedo with a 9mm Luger on your hip. It's ultra masculine, ultra suave, and ultra clean. Its a billionaire playboy at a high stakes roulette game with a femme fatale (who is possibly a double agent spy) on his arm. Longevity is outstanding for a Creed. Better than green irish tweed.
I spent 2k on creed frags, this one is my absolute favourite frag! Totally authentic frag which women love.
OV is one of my best cologne for the summer. Best time to wear this, on vacation, after a day at the beach you come back take a shower and you spray OV. Best time, because people expect you to smell soapy/clean.
This is my second favorite fragrance next to Terre d'Hermes but that's not why I commented on this particular video. I noticed that it is EXTREMELY apparent that many many many people get a smell of soap and I have to add my two cents as this fragrance wrote a story in my mind over the times I've worn it. The soap smell to me is a sign of over-application of this fragrance, and what I mean is putting cologne on with the mindset of, "I really really want people to smell me." I say this because one time I absolutely wanted unsolicited comments in public and I purposely went haywire with this stuff and it did project. Not one time did anyone around me say they smelled anything soapy but after about 3-4 hours I smelled my skin up close and I detected the soapy scent. Aside from that, this fragrance in my opinion is absolutely brilliant and has a special spot next to my Hermes fragrances (Terre and Concentre Eau d'Orange Verte.)
(p.s. I did upload a video about Original Vetiver if you're ever interested in seeing what a profound impact this had on me.)
If you like Terre d'Hermes you have to try Red Vetiver by Montale. It's very similar to TdH, but it's way better, because it's more "juicy", more round, more natural and it's not so dry.
Whats your channel?
Shaf Serious u find it? I think it might just be his screen name. I enjoy his videos
Love OV! I did a blind sniff off once of 14 frags and I had to choose which ones were designer and which were niche. Mugler and OV were in the mix. I picked mugler as designer and OV as niche. I didn't really see the full quality of creeds until a good year and half into wearing them. To me, they are deep and they are of very high quality.
I love OV actually, modern gentleman's frag to me, and yes not very vetiver at all, but its a very clean spring frag too me, feels natural, the only downside is the cost IMO. Great REVIEW once again guys!!! I'm still waiting for that Micheal McDonald impression throughout the duration of a fragrance review lol
thank you! it might not blow you away with uniquness, but it's nice and clean.
vetiver fragrances usually copy the smell of the roots and there comes this typical smokeyness and dirtyness from, original vetiver concentrates on the grass leafs of vetiver and this is why there is no note in it that will be expected from vetiver. I really like you guys and I appriciate your opinions since years, but go and test this one again, I am sure you tested it to much on paper or directly on the skin, check the sillage.
In short, this thing is great for older men, talking about 50+, a classy man type, this is not for the younger crowd. I wore this the other day to test and did get compliments from older people at work, the younger people were not at all fans, and thought it was something i put on for my beard, not an actual cologne ( which hints at me that it smells like what I thought, a barbershop type of place )
You guys said this is for the summer? I definitely would disagree, its too strong in my opinion for summer, you guys comparing it to a mugler fragrance should tell u right there its not for summer lol. Mugler tends to make strong stuff.
thanks Jeffrey! love your comments! :)
I just bought today it was amazing what a smell 10 hours scent
This fragrance is a beast on me and I didn't expect something like this to do that! Projection and longevity are beastly for such a fresh fragrance. Surprised actually!
oh nice!
compliment factor?
bsinatra145 pretty good but most will think u just smell clean and fresh
Have to agree that it's not very vetivery. It just smells very clean, green, and soapy. It isn't really bad to me, but didn't blow my mind for being $300-something dollars retail. Of course I only smelled from a small decant lol.
yeah. on one hand, I'm glad it's not super vetivery, but on the other, maybe a little bit more vetiver would have made this more interesting.
Yea', me, too. OV just has a depth to it that MC doesn't.
As for where to buy: $84 bucks for a 2.5oz tester on Fragrancenet (dot) com with the 20% off coupon.
And I didn't get it at first either, but the reason we don't get that usual earthy vibe with OV is because Creed doesn't use the root of the vetiver plant, but rather the vetiver leaves. May serve as a problem for the blind-buyers out there, because it's really unlike anything one would expect when they hear the word vetiver.
yeah i (daver) am with ya. i think Creed OV, though clean and soapy, does smell high quality.
I´m with Jer on this one, I like the opening, but I hate the drydown, it´s all vetiver on my skin, and I´m not a fan of it.
Great Job Guys!!! Thanks for sharing!
I laughed soo much about the comparison with Mass Effect hahaha, it fits completely!
Spot on with the review, but actualy the 4oz bottle retails $315 not counting tax
$395 now
you guys do great reviews...informative but humorous as well...well done gents! I wish a had a friend that shared my interest in juice...my hobbies are very eclectic....fragrances, guns & past and present edged weapons...go figure! lol
Thanks for the review guys!
Very nice review. I really enjoy OV. mugler just seems to be a lot lighter on me.
Terrific review fellas. I haven't tried ov yet, it's on my list :)
I'd get in on a split for OV. Really like this one. Nice clean gentleman's cologne :-)
I really enjoy Chanel's Sycomore for a vetiver based fragrance. The ending to Mass Effect 3 was disappointing. Great video as always!!
How would you compare this and guerlain vetiver? And which one do you feel is a better scent
Great videos! Respect! So I was wondering is there a difference at all between buying a creed from Neiman Marcus for a bit more than paying quite a bit less at like an online discounter or wherever you say this costs $170. As stupid as this might be I just play it safe and pay way more at NM knowing I'm getting fresh Authentic juice. Where do you guys suggest and how can they sell it for so much less if it is in fact the exact same fragrance? Any differences whatsoever? Thanks!!
honestly, I doubt there's any real difference. The "freshness" of a fragrance really won't change unless it is exposed to light or heat, not age. And these online retailers most certainly keep them in climate-controlled environments. All the Creeds I have bought were from online discounters, and they smell identical to ones at big retailers. If you want to make sure you got something not returned or opened, I would just buy anything other than a tester (even though I personally don't mind testers). I would also stick to very trusted online stores like FragranceNet, BeautyEncounter, or even ScentMonkey. :) Good luck!
Hehehe!!! Love the Mass Effect reference!! xD
Great guys!!!!
Yup...very familiar with TNP.
Exactly! It really doesn't remind my of vetiver :)
i (daver) totally agree!
lol! thanks man! we enjoy guns and edged weapons ourselves! :D i (daver) am a TNPer. ;) if you're familiar with that channel.
I know this is an old video but heck yeah nutNfancy is awesome!...as well as the fragrance bros!!!!
there is a split on this now in marc's FB group
hahaha! thank you! i forgot all about that. i had to rewatch just to see what i said. LOL. what a great game
Spray Mugler cologne and Molecule 03 and you get Original Vetiver. jk. Just an idea.
What's a Split?
a split is when we buy a large bottle of fragrance and sell smaller portions of that fragrance for people who either want to save money or only want a little bit of juice. we try to do about one split a month.
got the same thing.. not really vetiver!
This guy is hating hard. OV is very good!
The opening of this smells extremely similar to Versace eau Fraiche, who else agrees?
When you say, "Mugler Cologne", I think West Texas ... though I know you guys aren't from West Texas! =D
this or Himalaya ?
Adis h go for ov, i only enjoy himi after an evening shower
2 out of 5 wow
