Summary
Summary
Creed Original Santal is a spicy-woody Eau de Parfum that balances aromatic freshness with a warm sandalwood-centered drydown. Ginger, juniper berries, bergamot, rosemary, coriander and mandarin create a lively opening before sandalwood, orange blossom, geranium and lavender form a smoother aromatic heart. Musk, Venezuelan tonka bean, cedarwood and oakmoss add creaminess and structure through the base. Released in 2005 and still in production, Original Santal remains part of Creed’s active catalog. Wearer consensus supports a 6-8 wear range with moderate projection. Its clean spices and creamy woods make it especially versatile in spring and fall for everyday wear, work, going out and polished evening use.
