CREED Vetiver began CREED's relationship with one of America's leading families, a political dynasty now known worldwide for its energy, vigor -- and impeccable style.

CREED Vetiver appeared in the U.S. when a new generation of Americans returning home from World War II showed the nation a continental style it had not seen before. CREED's Vetiver found favor with the driven, idealistic young American men entering public service in the booming post-war years. Like those leaders, the fragrance was destined for greatness.

CREED creates this extraordinary blend using fragrant oil from the roots of exotic vetiver grass, which forms a fragrant base with cedarwood and ambergris. A middle note of ginger is topped by citrus and bergamot for a blend that recalls America's leaders in a golden era.
