Pure Soap Demeter Fragrance for women

Pure soap can be categorized as clean fragrance if nothing else. There's nothing remarkable about it and can be best worn after shower when you are just going to spend a day at home and want that clean feel of shower for a bit longer, though there are better smelling soaps out there on the market.

It smells soapy right from the beginning with a prominent hint of synthetic musk and a mix of floral notes. The more it settles the more it smells soapy which we usually smell after shower.

Loud laundry musk scent with touch of lilac and aldehydes. I initially thought it smelled of Ivory, but as it dries down, it becomes its own weird creature.

I keep mine in the bathroom as an air freshener - right beside the Demeter Laundromat - they're sort of "sisters" in their synthetic cleanliness. It's just something I couldn't imagine wearing on my skin.

Smells nothing like Ivory soap, and I grew up with Ivory so I should know. Just shows you need to be careful about which reviews you go by. Doesn't even smell much like soap. There's a hint of lily of the valley, something sour though not citric, and, uh, is there such a thing as a plastic note? If it weren't for the bottle, I'd have thought I was smelling some sort of industrial cleanser. I can't believe people wear this.

I don't think it smells anything like Ivory Soap, which is what I was hoping for. I grew up on a resort, and to me this smells like the small cakes of boutique facial soap we used to put in each bathroom. Nice, yes; soapy, yes. Just not Ivory.

Truth in advertising is exemplified in Demeter Pure Soap. If you like the fleeting smell of lye-rich, chemically-scented soap, then this extends that shower experience into your morning commute.

Does what it says on the tin :) Exactly like soap, Good fun :)

I don't remember this Ivory soap...maybe it's never been used in Italy! But this demeter I've tried today - I don't know way - reminds me my childhood! I found some demeter very synthetic, but this is really clean, simply and lovely (maybe it works with my chemistry...How I would like to love Vanilla cake batter, but on me it's really bad and "plasticky"...so sad): it's like your skin just washed in a sunny and hot summer day! I like it, as I like similar fragrances: Alessandro Dell'Acqua eau de toilette, L'eté en douce by L'Artisan Parfumeur, Sweet honesty by Avon.

Pure Soap is really true to its name if the soap here we are talking about is the type of white, simple, supermarket home brand soap, which normally have a hint of discreet floral smell and the powdery/soap smell which makes you think of clean white towels. Somehow Pure Soap bares a similar essence as Prada Infusion Fleur D’oranger, of course Pure Soap doesn’t have any singular typical distinguishable floral notes.

The drawback of this Demeter perfume is, the blast of Vodka smell in the beginning is quite off-putting and the sillage or lasting power is quite poor.

I really loved this one when I first bought it. I love anything that smells clean. :) But there is something chemical and sickening about it. My nose tells me that it shouldn't smell this way? This isn't what it seems and can't figure out why the nausea... so so sad. I really wanted to like this one... gave it away to a friend. It unfortunately gives me a headache even in small doses. Goodbye, Pure Soap... it was almost love. :) lol. So sorry.

as i really only wear subtle clean smelling perfumes this really does have that lovely soapy smell with out being too soapy!! in fact the only negative is it doesnt stay on the skin for very long! i think it prob has an hour staying power so needs to be constantly applied which is a real shame!

I agree, this smells exactly like Ivory soap. They got it exact. Still, not my favorite scent to smell like. (I prefer a Camay scent if I'm going to smell like soap...!)

Smells just like Ivory Soap. I love it. Simple.
