What does Pure White Cologne smell like?

It opens with bergamot, lemon and grapefruit for a clean, bright start. In the heart, pear, galbanum and neroli bring fruity, green and floral notes into balance. The base of rice flour, white musk and ambergris settles into a powdery, creamy, lightly sweet finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Though it is sold as a men's scent, a fair share of voters read it as feminine. Creed Original Cologne and Creed Neroli Sauvage have a close profile.
