I know many of us start out the same way. We first get caught in the clone hype by watching YouTube videos and influencers. Then, as curiosity starts to happen or by going in and sampling fragrances in boutiques and department stores, some of us tend to appreciate the originals better. I want to do a quick poll and see how many people have started with originals. I'd rather know how many people started with the clone and then decided to purchase an original right after.

Creed Original Vetiver and Wild Vetiver. To my nose the Original Vetiver opens up fresher with the Citrus and Ginger versus the Floral and Spice. During the first 30 minutes of the wear the Wild Vetiver is definitely sweeter and Floral versus the Original Vetiver being more citric and green. At 60 minutes in, the “Original Vetiver” is definitely more of a green/woody fragrance compared to the sweet/floral scent coming off of the “Wild Vetiver”. At full dry down, the “Original” is a Woody and Fresh scent with the Musk and Ambergris versus the “Wild Vetiver” being more of a floral and Woody sent. Performance on both is pretty even. Projection is OK with the frangrances creating a scent bubble of about 2 feet for about 90 minutes. Sillage is OK as well with a scent trail of 2+ feet for about 90 minutes. Longevity is actually fair with the fragrances lasting on my skin about 4 to 5 hours, but becoming a skin scent at about 3 hours.
