It is always fun to make a formula that has captives because well, you have to try and figure out how to get a similar result without them. I used Z11 10 MIP in place of Polywood and I used a blend of Florol and Biomuguet in place of Yodonal. The scent is very very similar to the actual blend. I have the fragrance so I have tested on skin and on scent strip and it is uncanningly close that if I don't think too hard, I can't tell the difference. Great work as always Felipe...So much to learn and thanks for helping us do so. Great!

Wild vetiver is a rather recent release- funnily enough 2 month ago, I randomly came accross a tester and instantly fell in love with the scent.

Call me shocked when I found out, it was a newly released Creed Frag (2026), so I didn't expect any formulars on recreating this amazing fragrance.

Would I ever be able to recreate this gem? Well...

Just 2 month later filipe drops this bomb shell- amazing, very close to how I remember the OG.

Keep up the amazing (niche) work! The last releases have been awesome

I created the formula at home, then went to a market and compared it to the actual perfume formula. The result was a 98% match. Thank you.

Outstanding formula that truly captures the spirit of this perfume. Wonderful work by Filipe again!

Sehr gute Formula. Ich habe einige Zutaten substituieren müssen, aber es riecht so gut wie das Original!

I never thought I'd get to smell this again! It really is exactly as I remember my bottle of the original scent from 20 years ago

This is a 1:1 formula perfectly recalling the original scent. Superb!

The mid way and finish of this formula is 90% similar to the original one, however, the opening is slightly different, maybe due to difference between organic material. Overall it is a very good formula

very precise recreation of the original aesop. a woody must-have formula but not it's a bit too costly

The original is, first and foremost, a wonderful perfume. In fact, it is almost a non-perfume. A realistic smell. It could have been a candle, an incense stick, or a home fragrance. Definitely a formula meant to transport the wearer to a realistic, 360º forest. Meditative. Bold. But as I said, almost not a perfume.

This CF formula achieves a very similar result, probably 99% in the drydown, but it fails very slightly in the opening. It reveals the aromatic herbal side that creates the illusion of burning wood, of a campfire, which the original has. Like a magician accidentally showing the hidden card up his sleeve. In the opening, thyme comes out first, then nutmeg, and the clove is completely exposed. For some reason, this gives a few seconds of “kitchen ingredients” before the long-awaited ancient forest arrives.

Beyond that, I learned a lot from this formula. I love the result, and it will be part of many realistic forest accords for me from now on. 5/5.

I have a sample and this is very close if not identical. Well done!

Well done , interesting composition

Amazing recipe to learn from.

Making it straight away, I am waiting for the maturation and see how beautiful it turns out. Fantastic formula.

This is a superb rendition of a beautiful scent, made at approximately 50(!!)% in concentration. Extraordinary work, Filipe!

This is an extraordinary formula that captures the heart & soul of this spectacular scent- kudos, Filipe!
