White Amber

Firstly, don't pay the retail price. It's lovely but NOT worth that much! Not even close! It is super nice though. The most 'elegant' or 'graceful' scent I own. The performance isn't subtle (but longevity is very dependent on how your skin loves sandalwood and/or amber) but the scent itself is. No in-your-face notes... Soft and silky is how I describe it. Seems soapy at first but dries down into a sweet woody amber. I can see 'luxury lotion' vibe others get, but this to my nose is much more warm and comforting. Less 'fresh out the shower, clean' and more 'just out the bubble bath, cozy'. Hard to describe but that's it lol. The oil dupe by Grand Parfums smells right on the money to me but with any dupe, the notes are more linear and don't unfold to create the same experience as the original.. but too bad, the original is crazy overpriced.

Probably one of my favorite discoveries of 2021. Creed's White Amber is an interesting, unique, sexy, bright amber. Smells more like fig than amber. I would love to wear this all year round. I do not have a problem with longevity and Creed. When worn in the correct season (65-80F, low humidity), I can smell White Amber for days on my clothing. I cannot compare this with any other amber perfume. It smells more like a salty fig perfume. It is dry, warm, transparent, bright and not sweet. Quite mature and elegant. Works well in FL weather.

This Creed is beautiful. I have only smelt it off of a blotter I sprayed in the store, it's uniquely different from anything I have typically smelled or owned. I will have to do a full wear at some point, but the initial spray is amazing. I love how such simple ingredients can be put together to make something remarkable. One of my new favorites from the Les Royales collection.

Much like the beautiful hand cut Pouchet crystal flacon in which it is housed, 'White Amber' demonstrates shimmering facets throughout. The composition begins with its eponymous amber note, which is headstrong and enshrouds the composition in a warm glow. This amber is confident yet comforting, caressing its wearer in a passionate embrace. It is joined by a honeyed vanilla and soft 'fruity accord'. Faint nuances of peach and coconut are noticeable, seemingly to echo the central amber's richness. A white floral accord joins the opening amber, along with sandalwood and benzoin in the mid-range and base of 'White Amber'. Jasmine absolute's heady scent dominates, while hints of gardenia and tuberose are detectable. The creamy characteristics of sandalwood's rounded scent profile blend perfectly with the indolic qualities of the included white florals, further enhancing their intoxicating effects. Benzoin in the base contributes additional vanillic facets, mirroring the opening accord. Together with the sandalwood, it renders a softened focus to the dry down. The composition becomes blurred and slightly powdery. Upon drying down, 'White Amber' becomes absolutely stunning on the skin. The opening can be somewhat harsh and overwhelming, as the strong white florals dominate and slightly overpower. As the fragrance dries and some of the floral notes have had a chance to scintillate away, the golden amber is then able to take center stage. The composition reminded me of the quality of light produced by a setting sun, casting everything in its path in a warm albeit sometimes hazy hue. As an "eau de parfum", 'White Amber' has adequate sillage and projection while its longevity is superb. Due to the composition's heavy reliance upon florals, it leans definitely feminine. Again, upon drying down the floral notes do become less prominent, and at this point in its olfactory arch it could be considered unisex. I envision 'White Amber' worn in the warmer climates of spring and summer, as the heat should lift this fragrance off the skin to great effect. As a new addition to the stable of highly luxurious perfumes in CREED's "Les Royales Exclusives" collection, 'White Amber' certainly lives up to the high expectations of the brand while proving itself worthy of a spot amongst its predecessors.

I’m a person who is all about the subtle details. Love in White, Love in White for Summer and White Amber all smell different to me. I’ll also compare it to Pure White Cologne. Love in White is very creamy. The rice and ambergris notes are very prominent. Think of thick and hydrating (not oily) unscented body lotion/cream. Love in White for Summer is sweeter and smells wet and lotion like with the rice, ambergris and apple. This smells like a facial lotion. White Amber tops both of the Love in whites in regards of being like an unscented inert lotion. This has the softest and creamiest sandalwood I’ve ever experienced. This fragrance is also lighter than both of the Love in Whites. The fruity notes and Amber blend well with the sandalwood. No I don’t smell the typical creed ambergris in this. This could easily be called White Sandalwood. Pure White Cologne smells like pale citruses and is vegetal. There are no sharp notes and it smells very wet. The rice, ambergris and powdery notes are overshadowed by the citrus and greens even in the dry down, Overall, White Amber smells really nice. It quickly drys down to smelling like an actual lotion very similar to Chanel Paris Venice. They don’t smell the same, but they both smell like lotion that has been on your skin for awhile. If you are looking for a soft and understated fragrance that reminds you of skincare and good hygiene, this is a really nice option. It has an elegant quality and smells like it leans to the mature feminine side as it dries down. It really is unisex. From a distance I can easily imagine a man wearing this. Smelling up close, it smells like it could lean feminine. To be honest, it barely smells like a perfume. For the softness and cost, I’m not sure that it is worth the price full retail. This is fbw only if this is the type of fragrance you are looking for. If you desire more character and strength, please look elsewhere. It’s a love for me.
