Reviews of Chèvrefeuille Original (1982)
by Creed

To me it is a walk through an herb garden surrounded by evergreens after a fall morning rain. I detect mint, but not a crass common variety, rather the delicate sweetness of Persian mint. Fennel, tarragon and possibly lemon thyme are there as well. The sweet evergreen scent of cedar and camphor leaves enriches the bright herbs. I don't detect any woods. Quite some time after the drydown, I sense the faintest floral, but not honeysuckle or muguet as others have mentioned. Both are in my garden and are quite different than the floral notes of Chevrefeuille. It is a less sweet and more 'metallic' blossom.

What a delightful daytime fragrance!

I can't say I found this to be like the other Creed's. Seems less distinctive. I did not get much more than alcohol strength in the first stages. After a while is was better, but not great. The sillage left a bit to be desired.
Not bad, mind you. Just not like Tabarome or GIT with that wonderful 'differentness'.

The notes and the drydown have been described most eloquently below.

This has been my most disappointing Creed. Like a shooting star, a fantastic experience that too soon becomes a memory.

A solid honeysuckle / mint accord opens the scent and continues to dominate. Unfortunately the mint does very little to reduce the floral impact of the honeysuckle: At first it’s a rather sharp accord so it’s not overtly feminine but I think it’s feminine enough to keep me from wanting to wear it. As some other reviewers say, Chevrefeuille Original is crisp, clear and light, and I would agree; however, there are a lot of crisp, clear, and light fragrances that have more attraction and/or more subtle accords than this. This scent is not complex and it’s somewhat linear—there’s nothing genius here—it reaches ‘interesting,’ but that’s it. The dry down is very good, but still feminine and quite short-lived. I’ll pass on wearing this one.

Sweet, somewhat powdery, and floral. Maybe unisex, but to me it's leaning toward being a feminine scent. I like it enough - it's crisp, clean, and light - to maybe try this one on a hot, humid day. Still, it seems very soft and floral to me and I may not be brave enough to wear it out.

light, fresh, seems unfinished to me
