Pure soap

It does what it says, at least initially: a smell of freshly-laundered clothes and hand soap. All quite dry, ambery, dusty and musky, more grayish than white as one may assume, mainly focused on a sort of industrial, artificial, cold concept of cleanness an "automat-laundry" clean, rather than a "cozy-bath" clean. Fun enough, I also get a sort of iris note, which may be due to some aromachemicals also used to build powdery notes. Synthetic amber, synthetic white musk, something generically floral; that type of notes which create something not that distant from Helmut Lang EdP or some Comme des Garçons fragrances, even if in a more raw, straightforward way - and honestly quite more boring after a while. It smells more like a base on which eventually one should build a perfume rather than a scent ready to use, but it doesn't smell that bad and is also quite inexpensive, so if you're into "clean" stuff, go for it.

Fresh, Clean, Pure Soap! Fortunately no soap opera

Soap operas are not my cup of tea at all, you often find annoying elements in them that spoil the fun. But to each his own :)

The fact that "Pure Soap" is NOT a soap opera for me is due to its incredibly simple, pure nature Authenticity is the keyword here.

Finally I have found a fragrance at "The Library of Fragrance" that can hold a candle to my beloved "Salt Air".
And that in the truest sense of the word.

If you mean it badly with this EdC, you could beat the merciless simplicity around the ears of "Pure Soap".
If you mean it well with him, then you are fascinated by it
I'm one of the latter.

This thing here is just full on the 12 the cleanest soap you can imagine ...just in perfume form.
I make the claim that EVERYONE who smells this fragrance on themselves or on another person will have the first association of cleanliness I also claim that everyone who smells "Pure Soap" has smelled this fragrance somewhere before
Whether one likes it is highly subjective.
Personally, I feel incredibly comfortable wrapped in this fragrance
To many people it will be just way too simple, but you know what?
Sometimes I need just THAT
Of course I would like to wear a complex fragrance here and there, which develops over time. With "Pure Soap" you don't even have to wait for that.

From second 1 to the end, nothing at all happens here in the fragrance development.

The shelf life is not bad for such a fresh EdC, 3 hours I get through easily.
The Sillage is also completely OK. (My evaluation refers to the Roll on Stick - Perfume Oil)

Probably I've lost too many words about such a simple fragrance, but my joy after some not so great TLOF scents (Pizza -würrggg) to have hit a bull's eye again outweighs just now.
