Starting by saying everyone claims it’s the perfect clone of Creed’s Vetiver Original. While it’s not 100% accurate, there’s definitely some truth to it. At first, what I noticed most were woods with cedar and green notes, mixed with a bit of citrus, lavender, and musk; that combination creates that vetiver vibe, even though it’s not listed on the notes. At the start, it smells like a marked, woody, natural vetiver—slightly earthy but nothing fresh. That’s how it performed for the first 5 hours (with a medium trail that tends toward low). Then it started to change: the vetiver sensation from the note blend disappeared. It stayed aromatic and woody but without that vetiver character, almost like a green version of Polo Classic, and lasted another 3 hours like that. Afterward, it mutated again; I noticed it as a faithful copy of Carlo Corinto, that green fragrance with the same name, and it stayed that way for about 2 hours before vanishing completely. It’s definitely a formal-cut fragrance, ideal for weddings or events with elegant attire. Is it good? Maybe. The only downside is its low trail. The first 5 hours, when it smelled like vetiver, were medium-low; the next 3, as Polo Classic, were very low; and the last 2, like Carlo Corinto, were so low I could barely smell it on myself. Maybe it was my skin, because the next day, where my shirt touched my skin, the scent was very noticeable, smelling almost like I’d just sprayed it on the fabric. These results crushed the diffuser about five times; I get the impression it might work better with one or two sprays, since that sometimes happens—I’ll try two applications and let you know. I also used it in the heat, which might explain the low trail and that transformation behavior without the vetiver. Best for ages 25 and up, and in cool or cold climates. As for the resemblance to Creed’s Vetiver, I can’t really comment since I haven’t tried it yet; the stores where I bought it didn’t have testers. As a final note, in a YouTube video comparing both, Creed’s Vetiver got a 7.5/10 and this one got an 8/10.
