An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.
The original vintage version:

I'm not sure what you mean because Drakkar and Black Code don't smell creamy or soapy to me. When I think of a creamy fine french soap smell and not a fresh Zest smell I think of Hermes Equipage.
Agree with Adeel on Equipage, and probably Monsieur Galimard for the same reason. I'd also recommend: Paco Rabanne PH. Gendarme V is also soapy and smooth, but not creamy, at least IMHO.

Maybe it's just me, but I find that Racine - MPG's wonderful blend of citrus and vetiver - has quite a soapy quality once the citrus notes burn off. I mean soapy in a nice way here.
Fragonard Concerto is a wonderful citrus fragrance that recently got as a gift. It's a great citrusy, soapy fragrance with a very creamy, slightly sweet personality. A wonderful fragrance, really.
The most overtly creamy scent I know is Vétyver Haiti by Comptoir Sud Pacifique. Other scents that have a creamy feel include Angel for Men, Balenciaga PH, Le Dandy by D'Orsay, and Laura Biagiotti's Roma, the latter smelling like an orange-vanilla ice cream dessert treat.
