My favorite thing in the world came in the mail today. It’s a bottle of Creed Original Vetiver.
From the first time I smelled this stuff in a Nieman Marcus in Orange County, I was hooked. It smells like grass, summer, and awesome. I highly recommend you check it out.
Creed’s definitely an interesting brand, too. It’s still run by the original folks (the Creed family), which to me is one of the most important factors in maintaining a strong culture within an organization. Further, they’ve successfully blended old-world perfumery techniques with responsible manufacturing practices. At least, as far as I can tell. Vetiver, interestingly enough, is grown primarily in Haiti. Hopefully some of my purchase went toward their relief efforts there.
