What do reviewers say about Original Santal and Tendenza?
This is a Creed fragrance through and through: high-quality materials, impeccable construction, and a price tag that reflects both. It melts into your skin.Original Santal
Too many top notes? No such thing when each one earns its place. The fruit-spice tension doesn't fight, it performs. What you're really getting is an EDT that behaves like it has somewhere to be.Tendenza
