Except this one costs more like $200 vs $20 but hey, whatever floats your boat. This can be overbearing. But by no means is it a generic smell. INDVL is heavy and rounded deep dirty sandalwood. Quality sandal wood fragrance. This should have been called 'Warm Spicy Cologne', because that is what it is. One of the best Creeds! I just got a sample and comparing Mont Blanc Individual and Creed Original Santal and its really really close. Does anyone remember that? This is a scent profile i simply cant get along with. There is not one word of a lie in any of the Montblanc Individual comparisons. I only have 3 Creeds. I also see the comparison to Mont Blanc Individuel. This is an edible combination of cinnamon, sandalwood, and vanilla. It is definitely here. Quality fragrance though. To me this is an 8.5 out of 10. Better quality version of Joop Homme. Overpriced. I will buy a bottle for the collection. Santal is far more warmer/spicy blend with a definite cinnamon blast. Often I hear the following: Original Santal by Creed is an Aromatic perfume with Woody and Spicy notes. I love Joop Homme, don't get me wrong. I Love this fragrance sooooo much its hard to say anything negative, but Id love for creed to give a stronger version , awesome scent id like it to project more though IMO 8/10 not that unique but perfectly blended .. Makes you jus want to smell yourself all day. Become a member of this online perfume community and you will be able to add your own reviews. A sample of this is more than enough for me. The cinnamon, sandalwood and Juniper is Great. This opens and feels a bit like a uppity Dior Fahrenheit , albeit smoother , more AIRY . then morphs into a sweeter scent in the dry-down (at that point - the Fahrenheit resemblance vanishes--if you were wondering) . Weird that people put this down as a fall scent. santal But for summer i would rather wear EROLFA or milliseme imperial or aventus or bois du portugal. Like all CREEDs this has a magnificent opening that takes a few moments to develop -- then takes some twists and turns and goes into another place. Sniffed Aventus and I was like 'meh'. A lovely fragrance but very close to joop. A great scent for the winter to warm a cold room up with your presence or repel a cold winter breeze with its essence. There was a season when this was a daily wear for me and I still enjoy it time to time. Performance is well above average with great projection. This one just gives off that classic ambergris/ambroxan, 'seaweed rotting in the hot sun' scent. JOOP, that's what it was!! everything on him smells joop. After 2 hours INDVL becomes powdery to my nose. It's 80% Mont Blanc Individuel and 20% Joop. creed perfume santal unisex ml fragrances 724usa A rich spicy sandalwood scent, probably even one the best done sandalwood based fragrances for men out there. Original Santal is a case study in the sum of all parts being more desireable then the individual pieces. Not crazy amazing; just very pleasant. This scent is spicy and fruity, with just a hint of wood (and it is truly faint). I think its just lovely! The main notes are Cinnamon and Sandalwood. It's a little too niche and powdery smelling for me, but it's very well blended overall, and was clearly very original for the time it came out. Since sandalwood has been an obsession since childhood I didn't care and went through a few bottles of this back in the day. Very smooth and well rounded.Can really detect the lavender in the top notes and delightful cinnamon.Not really a projection beast but more top shelf perfumery from Creed. The name of this scent may indicate that there is a lot of sandalwood in it that can be discovered on the skin but the strongest note is tonka beans. More fresh than warm I think. A safe fragrance for sure, but not an interesting one and most definitely not worth the hefty price tag. If anyone knows if this is true i would love to hear about it in the comments above. Slightly powdery. Now creed shows they use authentic mysore sandalwood. And so I'll likely swap off my bottle at some point, but I do see the appeal, and it does have a "high quality" feel to it. Original santal is for men and mont blanc individuel is for boys. Not one of my favorites from this house. I think that Original Santal took inspiration from the old D&G pour homme. I was expecting more sandalwood and so kinda disappointed. Months later I went back and asked if it's available. santal importado edp Lets get something straight, yes Joop and Mont Blanc smell similar to. the smell is so strong that he still smells joop strongly even after swimming. Stubborn lady, I kept trying: different seasons,different weathers same disappointment. When I first sampled this fragrance, my main concern was about the sillage. I wouldn't have expected that from the composition. I've only had the chance to try this in cooler weather as this was a recent purchase (late September '13). So, I'm not sure how to explain the smell, only how it makes me feel. 4 hour mark I get a caramel smell coming off me for some reason, but feel that need to last a bit longer. mmmmmmm. Not a bad scent but it's gone after 1h (reminds me of my 2017 Aventus batch). The performance is not outstanding and even the packaging is nothing that would make the product stand out on a shelf. Girlfriend likes it. creed perfume santal fragrantica cologne fragrance sandalwood I only wear it when it gets really cold and in texas lets say i wear it 5 to 8 times a year thats it. Doesn't smell like sandalwood or very Indian. Cinnamon in the opening is dominant with velvety undertones of Sandalwood with hint of coriander. This fragrance is amazing .. it seems like everytime i where it i have a good time .. absolutely perfect .. It's very heavy on the berry, lavender, rosemary, vanilla, but I can't smell sandalwood ! I definitely get a dryer sheet or detergent feel, but not in a bad way. The projection and longevity is better than average for sure. Cinnamon, Lavender, Vanilla and Mint always get a woman's pheromones pumping I see with my experience with this. Its woodier and with juniper being substantially better than raspberry for the fruit. I keep sniffing my arm and DO wish I could have a big all over spray for the full effect. No denying that OS is a great fragrance for men. What can I say about this fragrance? This walks up to joop and mbi pushes them in the chest, their caps fly off, they tumble then their glass shatters all over the place You get what you pay for ;). Like there are times when its actually deceptively even unpleasant to my nose considering its a creed at the top. Umema: The Perfume That'll Never Be Smelled, Carner Barcelona - the Summer Journey Collection, Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum, Amber and Ambergris are Two Different Notes, Rice Perfumes That Stand Out From the Crowd, Should You Smell Someone Before Talking to Them?

If the opening was a little softer then this would be one of my favorite fragrances. This is my 2nd bottle by the way. Mainly because it's the only one that gives some kind of performance as opposed to being like scented water (Aventus, MI, SMW). This is a very unusual Creed. I like this as a springtime fragrance (and would wear in the fall too). Who am i to disagree i guess. Original Santal is a very classy and sexy smelling fragrance, classified as a Woody Oriental, but has some lighter notes that really brighten it up. Strong opening, evokes a few sneezes. I like cinnamon a lot, and that, juniper, and the vanilla-tonka combination are the notes that stand out the most here. constantly and I could smell it across the house. Number one question is the creed website and fragrantica differ in one area that is extremely important when talking about a fragrence called original santal (which in case you didnt know translates to the french word for sandalwood). Great longevity and sillage, nothing shirt of Amazing. No one should have to pay the prices of some of these scents when the dupes out there are so good and in most cases, last longer. I love it too much long lasting even some side it's close to montblank and joop but still there is some differences 4 months ago I bought my third bottle but I think they reformlated it because it's different than previous bottles but still I love it. A very pleasant scent to wear. Looking forward acquiring this one . 17oz decant millesime Love it, doesn't smell like Joopthe Mont Blanc is very similar but the Creed smell nicer, there's something about it that just separates, and I'm not someone who cares about niche or designer, nor am I a creed fanboy, in fact I dislike many of their scents, but this one for me just has something special. .. I personally think this fragrance is nice but not one of my favorites. Performance on my skin is also above average. Suddenly, I saw this gorgeous red bottle with the words "Original Santal" and asked the SA to spray it on my arm. A warm, mild sandalwood fragrance that's really nothing to write home about. I blind bought this fragrance about 4 years ago as my 4th Creed after MI, GIT and Aventus. Might make a nice candle but wouldn't wear it. The price is just way off, just use individuel. Wear this one one frosty mornings and thank me later. Gentle but somewhat boring this Creed perfume doesn't really offer much: it has good quality ingredients but offers nothing immediately appreciable. That being said this scent feels generic, but its sweet and comforting. Perfume rating4.06out of5 with2,081 votes. She still was able to smell it but if you like smelling yourself, skip it. First i want to say, i am a fan of Joop. Longevity and projection and sexy freshness. I notice lately that I turn my interest more to sandalwood scents (4 out of 6 perfumes of mine have sandalwood note). Wrong lebel. Strange I bought this in Marshalls for $90 slashed 2.5 oz. Not impressed. Another nice fragrance from Creed. Also I find this to be very generic scent. $350 JOOP. Joop is a little smoother and easily masculine whereas Santal is very unisex and VERY mysterious. The spices complement the woods quite well, the ginger is noticeable as well as the cinnamon, a mix of slightly sweet-spicy cinnamon and sour spicy ginger that makes the fragrance feel fresh and intense. It leaves you confused. Light and fluffy raspberry dryer sheets. I wore Joop in high school, and I'm embarrassed. Niche quality on a good price. Creed Original Santal EDP opens with a moderate projection of woody, spicy, floral, and sweet notes. I was wrong. Fragrance Reviews: 1,286,797 In fact this Creed may even eclipse Montblanc Individuel in depth of character, longevity and projection! At any rate, its not a bad scent but it sure is not good either. I've gone back and forth with Original Santal. It is different enough from the cheaper ones that have same profile. santal upcitemdb Cheers mates! However, at this price point you are much better off with Mont Blanc Individuel Original Santal is blended better but the differences are nuanced as opposed to night and day. . It smells so good! modnique For me, I can smell it, not enormous but its really there. I do like this one, but I do not love it. First time I wore Original Santal, circa 2009, back when I worked in wealth management for a company that offered discounts on luxury products including Creed, I distinctly remember a Creed representative telling me this was conceived and marketed as a "women's perfume". Online right now: 2,668, Fragrantica in your language: Very good buy if the price is not a issue. It smells like an Uber. If money doesnt matter go for it if you can.. just try and get the older 75 or 125 ml as with all creeds the older the better as once they switched to 50 and 100 ml bottles i fee the quality dropped off substantially. While the newer batches are a little more fresh & sweet. This is a direct rip-off/clone of Mont Blanc Individuel, which to my tastes is not something a niche house SHOULD be doing but we're so far removed (time-wise) from when these two fragrances were released, but nonetheless it should be reviewed with that in mind On my sample this scent is pleasant enough (raspberry fabric conditioner) not sure what the 'santal' is all about. 10/10 from me for cooler months or during the evening. While trying out Creed fragrances a few months back, I didn't find this one memorable; however, I ultimately decided to purchase it. I would love it on a man tough. The good news is that it's quite nice, and doesn't have the "sticky" quality of Joop! After trying this perfume several times -from an official sample and from tester bottles at perfume boutiques-I understood Creed and my skin seem to hate each other. Pass. High longevity at 10+ hours. I love this fragrance!! smelled this today and YES, smells just like individuel. But trust me, it's closer to joop by a long way. You can get 100 ml for 30 to 40 bucks with jaipur homme and original santal is 350 or whatever for 50 ml and i saw on creeds website they want a G for 500 ML .. LOL. And this one is fresh spicy. This is one of my favorite fragrances of all time. But at the price i would not buy it again. Others will be happy saving with MB (which I am envious of) but this is far above in terms of quality. I love Creed Original Santal. Shame, it smells good, if safe. I pulled it out today to see what I thought of it after building up a much larger collection. Shame it's for the wrong scent. perfume santal Really good projection the first few hours. I think it is quite versatile, excluding summer period. Smells like Joop! money well spent if you want a high end version of Joop or Mont Blanc Individuel. Summer Ticket come immediately to my mind). It smells really good and better on the skin than in the air. wangi ny sangat mirip memang dengan individuel..performa ny pun mirip2kalo gw sih mending ambil individuel. I think they're right but testing it in a humid, hot weather, I enjoy it more. Smells fantastic, but as I said, there is nothing in this that says "wow!" I like it. I dont know if they still make it. 1 line summary: Just buy Mont Blanc Individuel. Sure, it does smell a lot like Individuel, but smoother. Much better version of Montblanc. Absolutely perfect for cold weather! This is literally 90% similar to Joop Homme. Mont Blanc smells awesome for its price (and I know it was created first) but Original Santal certainly smells of much better quality. Just my 2 pennies. I had it, i actually truly love its shaving soap, i still use the shaving soap, smell actually much better than Original Santal itself! Average to above-av performance. Wile SNTL opens bright and sharp then settles down. Premium quality, creamy spicey and sweet sandalwood. Has some light vanilla along with bursts of yummy sandalwood and cinnamon. Perfumes: 73,887 I used to own Montblanc Individuel, but I simply find this to be fresher than MB. Sadly Original Santal managed to leave me completely unimpressed. Phenomenal and Masculine. Creed don't copy no more. I was the type of person who thought Creed didn't deserve all the hype it gets. Plus it is indeed a copy of MB Individuel as that one came out before Creed. santal Compliment factor - high. Unless you really know fragrances Id challenge anyone be able to tell the difference especially at a passing glance (sniff). Maybe a safe office fragrance or grocery shopping fragrance. So regarding Original Santal, i sold of the bottle as it eventually smell to synthetic, gluey, almost exactly like Joop. That being said this is one of those 5. I don't know some say this only works best in the cold weather. Very neutral fragrance. Corriander, tonka bean, ginger combined with the juniper berries create an almost sweet and peppery scent that when warmed up on the skin can also be refreshing. And it's probably because of Juniper. Performance is solid and the compliments are great! Beautiful sandalwood creation. I don't dare rating it because there's a clear case of 'bad chemistry' between us. Sexy, creamy, masculine, and a true powerhouse. Original Santal was created by Olivier Creed, Erwin Creed and Pierre Bourdon. This is the epitome of a winter scent for me. Before anyone asks, it is also far away from Tuscan Leather's candy-like raspberry, here it is better worked, perfumed, a little creamy and quite silky: smell of intact raspberry skin, bathed in some kind of purified cologne conveying harmony. If its important for you to know your wearing a 250 fragrance get the Creed, if you purely just enjoy the scent profile get Mont Blanc. Couse he s used to it he cannot smell it anymore so he sprays much of it before he goes to work or out. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed. I barely smell the sandalwood, and I dont get the reference to India because this smells more like a barbershop fragrance to me once the sweetness mellows down. The ambient temperature or season has to be just right, which for me is warm but not hot, something around 70-75F. santal creed millesime oz korlapon sdlet After finally smelling this, I can really see how many other fragrances have copied it in the last 15 years. Women love this scent on me. Need to give the sample a good wearing first to see if having both would be redundant or not. I think santal is better. Overall is weak but when you sweat or it's raining, It smell wonderful. I don't know how it ended up there. It sets a good mood for the day, what more could I want from a fragrance. I'm a Creed fan. I see a lot of comments about Original Santal missing sandalwood, and I would agree that it is in the distant background, mellowed significantly by the creamy vanilla. I have had numerous fragrances at numerous price points & I bought this expecting something sensational & although this is a wonderful fragrance this is far to expensive & not exceptional enough. It's a great scent and versatile for me (dress up, dress down, semi-formal, even casual, day and night). females can wear it too. Thankfully i was not let down. It feels very synthetic at times. Heavily regulated stuff and heavily taxed. Sandalwood is not the main note I get here, in fact there is nothing woody about this scent at all. I love this about Creed! santal fragrance creed oz The bad news, other than the cost difference, is that those looking for a reasonably strong sandalwood note may be disappointed. if you like a little bit more of a oriental (middle east-ish) kind of smell this is 100% for you. Ebay or discounters have lots of the older bottles for sale. Kind of a warm touch you get with the cinnamon. For me is powder, an old one, like a clean grandfather, but no more than this. Sorry but this the clone of Montblanc individual released in 2003! It's love at first sniff! Drydown improves after the harsh opening. What isnt is the price. Moreover, it isn't exactly the most complex scent ever created, so some might find it boring. I wore Santal before i wore Joop. tried all creed's, and excluding the aventus which is obviously the best one, this one was (atleast for the first few minutes) the second best. The middle notes consist of lavender, leaves of the absolute orange tree, rosemary and ginger. Perhaps the ingredients are top-notch as so many claim. I get cinnamon, spices, and a slight woody note, but this is blended so well I have a hard time picking out notes. It smells great to me, and people who smell this on me tell me I smell great. 10/10 beautiful classy, fresh, seductive sandalwood. A spicy scent that seems to last awhile on me. It might contain real ambergris or even fairy dust for all I care but the result is a mediocre, inoffensive and mildly pleasant fragrance. So, for me OS smells like an old box of scented candles that you find at your grandma's house when you were a kid. I see a similarity with Individeuel. What a joke. Overall lasts around 10-12 hours on me. Just found myself being drawn to it. I own it, I thought I would love it, but it's usually in the back row and gets visited rarely. Identifiable lavender and a minty heart tames the fire in it to some extent. Sorry, Creed. I would happily wear this in the chilly months, but at this price point, it's a no for me. This isn't what I'd expect a Creed to smell of, it's very nice, but let's face it guys, it's posh Joop. I was personally under the impression that the price to use mysore sandalwood is so high as to almost make it near impossible to use in a commercial composition like this. I have also found that layering this with Virgin Island Water brings out the sweeter side of Santal. Pretty decent clone, or copy, of Mont Blanc's fragrance. This was one of the first Creed fragrance decants I purchased several years ago when I first got into fragrances. The scent character of this feels like freshly washed clothes hung out to dry in the warm autumn sunshine. I have had a 10 ml sample of this fragrance for awhile, but had not worn it in a long time. Overpriced, considering Montblanc Individuel is 90% the same scent. I love this refreshing scentthe ladies at work love it too. It is very well done i wish it lasted longer but i dont mind re applying. On to my review!!! Definitely one of the better Creeds! That said, comparing side by side you can smell the difference in opening. I think you can argue the case for quality and ingredients all day long, but the Joop lasted longer and had a smoother drydown.

Stays around quite a bit eventually sandalwood reigns. I can't really elaborate. elysian santal I get 10 hours with it on 3 sprays. I get the comparison to OS, however, OS has really grown on me with its simplicity. I have repurchased Aventus and planing the same thing with GIT and Original Santal. I have an older batch 120ML bottle and a newer 2021 100ML bottle there are slight differences I wont get into atm, but both are absolutely amazing! Ok so after all that you would think i hate the scent right? Authentic and a steal. Perfect going out for a night out on the town scent. i tried it on paper. A little Generic but, Natural, Rich and Woody!. A smell that has been overdone and spoiled by imitators. Yes a bit pricey at first sight, but when you use it for some time, you feel that the impeccable quality of the ingredients inside are definitely worth every cent. Yup. This is the first Creed I've tried and am really surprised at all of the negative reviews! Though named Santal, it has sandalwood as the opening note and dry down to vanilla tonka combination. Sure it costs more, but I bought my bottle from Fragrancenet and got a heavily discounted bottle. selfridges creed 50ml santal eau parfum I wore this one last night. But terrible longevity. The proposal to present a high level sandalwood was fulfilled here with the mastery and creativity that only Creed could achieve. Original Santal is a men's oriental fragrance inspired by the royal and spiritual splendor of India. In short, a beautiful creation but a little dull. I grew up in Asia where sandalwood incense is used extensively. I like that." I think OS by Creed was a sentimental purchase for me. very very nice, other creed's either try too much or are for more older people and more serious occasions (green irish tweed). But Original Santal is like balance Joop Homme to me, I'm lil' disapointed cuz after an hour it is too close to Joop Homme. Although I bought it from a shop and hence tried it, I am very disappointed with this frag. the review below me has stated everything on my mind about this fragrance. But the performance turned out so poor after I bought the bottle and really tried it. This is pleasant enough, but too similar to other less expensive scents out there (Mont Blanc Individuel and Joop! Can be worn all year round but shines most in the warmer/milder temperatures. Why are people saying they can't detect sandalwood in this? It is just so sweet and warm and sexy all at the same time! If you don't like cinnamon, this one probably isn't for you. This is to be worn on a brisk casual evening, where as Joop is more of a dirty fun time. Most sandalwood scents are great in the heat original santal is great in the cold. I get compliments on Original Santal as well. I hope blackrock doesn't ruin it. Original Santal is not true to its' name. Perhaps the original inspiration for a dozen drug store clones. I definitely get a dryer sheet vibe and feel this would be very inoffensive and pleasing to those around you. My ex's brother would wear Joop! I don't know what Joop smells like, and I don't care. IMHO the best from creed! I recently bought a decant of Viktor and Rolf's Antidote and although the opening is different, the dry down is quite similar to Santal as well. When I bought this, it was a gamble knowing that it is a cold weather collection and I won. No prominent santal. My signature scent. I don't know why, but this totally reminds me of Sauvage Parfum. Just a spritz of this would be a confidence-booster for any lady! The lavender is also noticeable, a neutral floral touch. Reminds me of all the perfumes I own.Really strange! The sandalwood from Mysore in India is so expensive the government puts restrictions as to who and how much can be farmed and cut down every year. Top notes include Indian sandalwood, cinnamon, coriander and fragrant juniper berry. Something that harkened back to a simpler time. but less obnoxious but still a bit weird. There is nothing striking or memorable about it, no edginess or softness, no luxurious feel. Pretty sweet. santal This is my first Creed fragrance, and I have to tell you, I'm impressed.
