White, created by Antoine Lie in 2015 at 38% oil concentration (the richest in the Puredistance line), is designed as a rotating, non-linear composition rather than a classic top/heart/base pyramid, built around Rose de Mai, orris, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli. It is part of the current Magnificent XII Collection.
