The Creamy Note in Creeds

I am wondering what happens to be the creamy note or notes that are contained in virgin island water, original santal and green irish tweed. I don't really smell it in millesime imperiale but very noticeable in green irish tweed in the opening and middle and before it dries down.

As for Virgin Island Water, maybe it's the coconut note that gives it the "creamy" vibe.

i am thinking it is the ambergris, anybody know? it is creamy and a bit watery, unless the note is actually "water effect"

Alot of Creeds such as GIT and BdP have a very nicely done creamy sandalwood / ambroxan base.

I agree with this statement. I too think its a blend of ambroxan and santolol.

I'd also go with ambergris. Gives a sweet, creamy feel to the dry down of most Creeds.

This. It's ambroxan (artificial ambergris, though still an expensive ingredient). Real ambergris is too rare, too gross, and varies too much from batch to batch to be of much real use in large-scale perfumery.

If you're interested in ambroxan, L'Air du Desert Marocian is an ambroxan bomb...
