Pure eVe - Just Pure

Pure Virgin

The Different Company 2011

This scent oscillates somewhere between fresh laundry, powder puff, classic body cream and plastic dolls. It's a quintessential white scent, a clean floral musk that gets sweeter as it dries down. Something for daytime use, almost year round, even though it might become a little oppressively powdery on the hottest days of summer (I haven't tried that, it's just a guess). A scent like freshly fallen snow and fluffy knit sweaters, like a big, warm towel after a shower with classic Dove body wash, like a brand-new doll in a ruffly dress. It has a certain artificiality to it, but I think that's intentional. Nature is never that pure and clean.

The notes list makes this sound a little more interesting and exotic than it actually is. Flax blossom? Calison? I don't know what either of these smell like, but I can't say that I noticed anything unusual or new in this scent. It's a solid choice if you want a creamy-powdery white musk with a little sweetness, nothing more, nothing less.

It misses a certain something that would make me love it, even though I enjoy this kind of scent. Maybe it's a little too powdery for me at times. That's just a matter of personal taste though, it could be just perfect for someone else.
