I love this fragrance.. I have a few bottles of individuel and on paper they smell 95% the same, so I can see why people would look over it, but from my experience when I actually wear the two, they develop TOTALLY different. Santal develops beautifully, atleast on my skin, I do not get tired of it. Individuel on the other hand.. It is very synthetic on the skin/ when you wear it. Santal is a soft non-cloying cinammon/sweet type note while Individuel smells like some cloying synthetic raspberry cleaner or something. As someone that loves the DNA, I can justify spending the extra money to get myself a bottle (If you can get it for $250 or under def not retail)..
I'm with you on your assessment. It's my number 2 Creed behind Green Irish Tweed, the all-time champion! The underrating of OS has had to have been at the sniffers of men who don't get out very often. Because women absolutely ADORE this fragrance. Tight review, man!!!!
Excellent review given 👏 Sir! Very informative! This fragrance reminds me of Joop Homme from the 90's. It was a top fragrance back in my younger days. After testing a sample spray of the Creed original santa at Nordstrom earlier today it took me back to my young days. I absolutely loved it and had to purchase it. It's a bit pricey, however your review made me feel very confident that I made the right move purchasing it. Thanks for sharing!
Yep!!! Been saying Original Santal is under appreciated. It's definitely my favorite. I especially love to pair it with other Creed fragrances like Virgin Island, Millesime Imperial, or Aventus.
Great video. I completely agree with you. I owned MB Individuel and I own Creed Original Santal. Santal is better - fresher with better ingredients. Very similar, and if you are on a budget, I would highly recommend MB Individuel. Having said that, I get a LOT of compliments wearing Santal. It is heavily discounted on Fragrancenet. Get a tester if you don't have it already!
This scent is awesome ! Sweet & fresh with hints of cinnamon and faint berries in the background but...it doesn't last for more than 4 hours max. Creed has to work on it's projection and performance !
No doubt it's criminal performance for the money, def overpriced if MB is 95 percent the same scent why pay 95% more🤷♂️. Got a decant of santal and mancera cedrat boise, mancera is quality and performance, creed was a skin scent in 2 hours, Im good on that.
Creed Original Santal gets compliments from the ladies. Leaving a Masculine Sexual Seductive scent trail. One of Creeds best Fall and Winter Fragrances.
Started with Aventus like most but after spending 300 bucks on every Creed sample I could get my hands on the order is as follows. Aventus (First bottle bought) Original Santal (just ordered will be my 2nd Creed bottle Royal Oud will be next Ant then honestly where I am today after many sprays of the others Royal Water is my favorite light frag I think those will be my keepers Great vid Santal is awesome. Subbed
i have sampled it my brotha and it is on my get list. my creed collection is slowly increasing i currently own aventus, SMW, VIW, and Bois du portugal, so i could use another
Very much underrated scent. I love Mont Blanc Individuel but I will always support both houses. I believe Creed Original Santal is still one of best scents underrated in top 5 from that house for versatile and longevity. Great review Darian. Bless up G
I find Original Santal as a more fresh and refined version of Individual. I have Individual witch I enjoy, they are very similar. I wouldn't mind owning OG Santal though witch overall I prefer. Nice take.
Great review,. Creed original Santal seems to get Motion but i can agree with it being slightly underrated overrated just like Joop homme has to be the most Polarizising fragrance because its so loud with a almost cottoncandy cinnabon floral appeal😂. That Monta individual is weak and a cheapy in my opinion like big red gum scented 😂
Far prefer Santal to Aventus. For me Santal lasts all day and still lingers the next morning. I love when I stand up and the frangrance reappears from my chest.
How much are they paying you too tell all these false narratives? Creed is done: they like Mercedes and Honda when it first came out yes it was smoking: now the original owner sold the name:please stop telling all them lies I barely got 3,hours out of my current bottle of creed:
This is the sexiest Creed fragrance out there, great review. The dry down is unreal. 🇺🇸
My favorite. So 🔥🔥🔥

I think this is the underrated champion of all niche
My favourite Creed fragrance. It's a compliment magnet!

Great review! Perhaps my new favorite fragrance reviewer* i'll vome back and post after i get my Santal.
Easily my personal favorite cologne. It doesn't last long but It's a nice sweet spice creamy scent that I love.
This is beginning to be my best fragrance....its so awesome👍👍
Ordered a vial of original santal to try it out and was blown away. Very much underrated. I would put it up there with aventus
AGREED!
Excellent video. Adding it to my list.

Thank you for talking bout this slept on banger. To me it’s the niche of Lacoste white
I trust you and this one will be my next purchase
Great review. It's my next purchase for the fall.
Thank you!
This is my wife’s favorite fragrance 🎉
Nice review and nice channel.

Jose Vancouver I have half a bottle left! I’m picking up a backup 4oz bottle off of FragranceNet before they are extinct
The performance though.. Santall's performance is on a budget.

Agreed!!!! Love this stuff!
GloriousV12 I’m a woman, and I wear it!!!! It’s gorgeous!!!
It's a staple in the semi sweet fragrance community on the more masculine side.
The dry down is so clean crisp and you just want to hug yourself

Aventus (First bottle bought)

Ant then honestly where I am today after many sprays of the others Royal Water is my favorite light frag
I think those will be my keepers
Great vid Santal is awesome. Subbed
This is my favorite creed
i have sampled it my brotha and it is on my get list. my creed collection is slowly increasing
i currently own aventus, SMW, VIW, and Bois du portugal, so i could use another
and to think i was the only one addicted to Creed...I have 12 flavors!

Fam, I just got my nose on it today. SMH. I really like it! But, I used to rock Joop back in college. Now I’m telling my age.
LOL! Good deal!
Smells a lot like joop!
Do you have a link to one of the websites were you can check the lot number authenticity?
Mike Abeles checkfresh.com

I love this and silver water
please add the colognes you review and mention to the notes at the bottom of your videos

I love santal myself. Santal is definitely one of the best creeds i ever tried. So glad i have it in my fragrance collection
When to wear
People foreget Montblanc individual! Get the real thing. Creed is amazing
What's the longevity and projection for you?
Mr. Marcello really good, 2-3 ft projection..8 hours plus longevity
Great i can't to wear test this out 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Does it still have cinnamon?
Where do u shop fpr your clothing?!....very dapper
Rashida Hodge thank you!
Yeah, you can pick this up on Fragrancenet for half that
It's a fake scent
I made moves saved up then bam. Bought 50 mil for 350
This is a sleeper. I think because alot of people get nose blind to this scent they don't like it or just think it doesn't last
Joop is out of control bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn, I thought this was Idris Elba.
Nothings better than Creed santal . NOTHING !
Serious amount of money. Can’t make my mind up
