Pure White Cologne
Pure White Cologne by Creed is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with lemon, bergamot and grapefruit, moves into galbanum, pear and neroli and dries down to ambergris, white musk and rice powder. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Heart
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Rice Powder Dry, soft and clean. Skin-like and very quiet.
