Ginger and coriander warm the opening, with juniper berries, bergamot, rosemary and mandarin. They evolve into a refined sandalwood heart, surrounded by lavender, geranium and orange blossom, then settle onto creamy tonka bean and oakmoss, with musk and cedarwood.

Original Santal in detail
Creed often draws its inspiration from travel. Original Santal looks towards India, its richness, its heady scents and its great monuments. The house describes it as spicy, sensual and generous, and places it between fougère and amber, in a fresh, aromatic register.
The official pyramid opens with warm ginger and coriander, with juniper berries, bergamot, rosemary and mandarin. The heart is a refined sandalwood, surrounded by lavender, geranium and orange blossom. The creamy base pairs tonka bean, oakmoss, musk and cedarwood.
Original Santal can be worn from autumn to spring, by day or by night. Its spices warm the classic fougère structure, and its sandalwood heart gives it a creamy, comforting softness.
Three fougères in our catalogue come close: Himalaya, from the same house, shares mandarin, bergamot, juniper, lavender, sandalwood and cedarwood; Green Irish Tweed by Creed pairs bergamot, geranium, lavender and oakmoss; Percival by Parfums de Marly finds bergamot, mandarin, lavender and tonka bean again.
