Ted Lapidus White Soul is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Alexandra Carlin. White Soul opens with Marigold, Mandarin, Apricot, and Plum, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Heliotrope, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Amber, Tonka Bean, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Ted Lapidus's White Soul carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This amber-heavy oriental floral is a hidden gem for budget-conscious perfume lovers. Prepare for a complex journey from a sharp opening to a creamy, balsamic drydown where the fruits play nicely with the spices. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, but generally wins over those who give it time.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

White Soul opens with a surprising sharp marigold and saffron kick, quickly yielding to sweet, jammy plum and apricot. The heart is a soft, powdery heliotrope and orange blossom, delicately spiced. The drydown is where it truly shines: a rich, smooth blend of balsamic amber, creamy tonka bean, and benzoin, with hints of the earlier fruitiness lingering sweetly.
