Light Green
Lemon, lemon, and even more lemon - I almost wondered if that was it and if I really wanted to smell like a walking lemon squeezer. After the first few minutes, the sweeter, fruity notes emerged which proved me wrong, and finally settled to a slightly sugared, iced green tea with a hint of grapefruit peel.
At this point I am fully aware that, apart from green tea, none of the notes I mention are officially part of the composition. Therefore, I am merely describing my impression of this fragrance.
A great summer scent indeed, for its fresh startf and a better projection than the usual eau de cologne. With a more generous application, one could be wrapped in a citrus cloud.

If there was one thing to criticise, it would be the colour of the bottle.
Apparently, each bottle was designed to fit the theme of underwater worlds, and Eau Pure was dedicated to the Arctic Ocean. In my eyes, the concept was successfully implemented in terms of the visual part. The aquamarine blue in combination with the metallic parts reminds of cold cleanness with an even antiseptic touch. While 'clean' certainly resonates with the 'pure' in the name, I would have preferred a less icy representation of the scent itself with its sparkling citrus without any sharpness - more of a friendly, mild yellow-green.

Logically, it should be equally obvious: squeeze a bright lemon into the iced water bottle and you have the result. It'S just a pity that the desired colour is already occupied by Eau Soleil which was released 8 years later. Nevertheless, enjoy your summer with the freshness of sweet green tea from the depth of the arctic waters.

Cool Refreshment
During the weeks-long heatwave last year, all of Germany longed for water. Water to drink, to spray on, to jump into, or to shower with. Water!
L'Eau Pure - pure water - brings that fresh water feeling to the skin for a moment.

L'Eau Pure is very fresh and lightly cooling. The herb-sweet freshness mainly comes from green tea and lime. You can detect rhubarb, kiwi, and lotus. Later, the freshness fades, leaving a light, fresh, well-groomed, slightly woody scent on the skin - very pleasant.

No significant scent development, no expensive ingredients - a lovely, not artificially sounding freshness that feels like a fresh shower. L'Eau Pure is a young and uncomplicated feel-good fragrance. It doesn't last long, and as a body spray, it shouldn't. It is meant to refresh. It is best when generously sprayed on after showering. In hot weather, I take the bottle to the office and give myself a quick spritz when I get too warm. It provides a nice freshness kick in between.

The Biotherm fragrances are not perfumes in the true sense but are sold as body sprays, meaning they also contain caring components. What I really like are the included essential oils of sage and lime. Sage is often used in heat - even for internal use - and lime has a very refreshing and invigorating effect.

L'Eau Pure is not exactly cheap as a body spray, but it is really great. The matching shower gel is not necessary; the blue one from Nivea is similar and works just as well. In extreme heat, it is a very pleasant, lightly cooling scent that gives you the feeling of "freshly showered."

Fruit Puree to Spray On
The name Pure fits, as the scent is pure in the sense of being simple and unpretentious, but not in the sense of being natural. The marketing jargon on Biotherm's website talks about a roaring waterfall, an aromatic-fresh journey with the scent of essences of green tea, lime, and kiwi. In fact, the beginning is still citrus-fresh, but within moments, a penetratingly sweet fruit note takes over, which must contain far more than artificial kiwis, lime, and rhubarb, and reminds me of shower gel or fruit puree with artificial flavor additives. I cannot distinguish individual notes despite the rather simple pyramid, as the synthetic fruit blend blocks my nose. In short, Eau Pure is a typical representative of the summer fragrances launched in recent years: synthetic, sweet, slightly aquatic, and somehow intrusive despite its lightness.

carefree
The winter sun is smiling and giving its best - but I have a flat millstone on my head that is weighing me down.

But I happen to be in Kstadts' fragrance department.
Should I dare to try a fragrance sample?
My heart says yes - but my aching head says no.

But what happens when heart and head are at odds?
The head says: The wiser one gives in.
My instinct leads me to Eau Pure - and that is exactly what I need for my gloomy state.

Oceanic feelings surround me in pale blue - gently enriched with tea and lime, rounded off with a hint of rhubarb.
Airily wafting above are lotus and reseda, and the patchouli note is pleasantly transparent.

A carefree fragrance blend that leads directly to the waterfront, sweeping away discomforts and silly thoughts.

The longevity is good, as the ocean still coolly washes over my hands after hours.

It cleanses me - and doesn’t make me wet.

Great for Splashing on Hot Days: An Aquatic Kick That Doesn't Smell Like Toilet Cleaner
I am not a fan of aquatic fragrances. Period. You can chase me for miles with "Cool Water Woman" by Davidoff. Also, for example, "Mediterranean" by E. Arden did not exactly blow me away.

However, "Eau Pure" passes my scrutiny quite well. It is aquatic - logically. But it doesn't have that aura of toilet cleaner and all-purpose cleaner (fragrance direction usually "ocean breeze") that most aquatics have. No - "Eau Pure" is more like a BALINESE SPA GARDEN IN THE EARLY MORNING: The earth is still exhaling the heat of the previous day, which mixes with the slightly spicy coolness of the night. Above all, the exotic flora is steaming and pulsating, enticing the senses. This is how an exotic paradise garden smells to me.

The fruity-citrus component is not overpowering. It is just present enough to prevent the aquatic aspect from becoming too dominant and one-dimensional. I also can't detect any cheap Eau-de-Cologne stench (I usually haaate that note). "Eau Pure" is very rounded, soft, subtly fresh, and somehow paradisiacal, without being overwhelming. It is somehow wonderfully green, but softly green, not Chypre-green. The green tea note slightly reminds me of E. Arden's "Green Tea," but here it is much more successful and rounded.

The longevity is predictably poor, but I consider it more of a body splash for warm days. After all, you tend to spray more. It's just as well that the scent doesn't accumulate into an increasingly concentrated fragrance cloud throughout the day. In that respect, completely fine.

For summer, I will get a generous bottle. I've already been using the shower gel for a while and enjoy it very much (I can't imagine my bathroom without the "Eau Pure Shower Gel"!!). At some point, I received a sample of the fragrance and have now tested it extensively. Test passed!!

Now I am just very curious about the other Biotherm fragrances. Especially "Eau Vitaminée" interests me.

I don't find it refreshing at all, more fruity + synthetic like a shower gel. 20 years ago, I would have been more lenient with the rating.

Aquatic? For me, fresh, fruity, zesty, and well-balanced. Such scents usually fly under my radar, but this one is really great!

Cheerful + refreshing. No matter what the pyramid indicates... I smell the zest and fruit of a deliciously juicy grapefruit. More tea scent than aquatic.

A fresh, slightly sweet, somewhat aquatic kiwi scent; ends lightly clean-musk-like. Childlike, cheerful, and uplifting!

A wonderful scent for a hot summer day in the city, refreshing, zesty, unobtrusive, yet somehow memorable.
