The Scent

Creed Centaurus Decant (Sample) opens spiced and woody, leading with Cinnamon, Tobacco and Cardamom for its first impression on the skin. It warms into a heart of Sandalwood, Patchouli and Heliotrope, the character that carries it through the middle hours. It grounds in a base of Bourbon Vanilla, Benzoin and Tolu Balsam, the lingering trail it leaves behind.
