Pure Soap

I spotted this at my local TJ Maxx for $3! In the bottle, it smells soapy of course. But once you spray it on your skin, it gets better. The chemistry of your skin mixed with the scent in the bottle is so nice! No doubt, I'm sure it won't work for everyone, but for me it did. The scent is so comforting and fresh, with a bit of sweetness to it. I wouldn't say it smells just like Ivory soap, but maybe if you took Ivory and mixed with a few other elements and added some sweetness to it, that would be pretty close. I spritzed one spray of this right after my shower and snuggled into bed. I kept catching whiffs of this and was in heaven! Also, I was rather surprised to be able to still smell this fairly well the next morning. I thought for sure it would've been long gone. Nope, it was still there and at a decent strength. This scent for me is probably more of a stay-at-home fragrance. Something I'll reach for when I want to feel like I'm bundled up in a fluffy soft blanket, nice and warm!

I looove this! I am a sucker for clean smelling scents and this is instant love the moment I sniffed it. It really really smells like a fresh clean bar of soap. It actually makes me so happy everytime I spray it because the scent gives me that warm giddy, relaxing, squeaky clean and freshly scrubbed feeling. I totally get the Ivory soap connection. It's like if Ivory has a flanker that is more rich in aroma this would be it. I have 2 other Demeters too. The Baby shampoo i'm not really a fan because it smells kinda synthetic to my nose. The other Demeter I have that I also adore is Baby Powder. I love that so much I instantly made a huge dent out of it. For now since Pure Soap is the newest in my collection this is my current favorite. Happiness in a bottle! Can't wait to try other clean type Demeter scents soon...

Yep exactly as Rezzmail and The Wolf describe below. Except I would say this doesn't quite smell exactly like Ivory soap. Ivory happens to be my body soap of choice and I'm holding a bar up to my nose. This Demeter Pure Soap actually smells more elegant, expensive and refined than Ivory soap. Something closer to Castile soap. Now, this Pure Soap does what it's supposed to do very well. Very well. I like it a lot. I could see this beings someone's signature "office scent", even for a FragHead. Now this won't compete, artistically, with a Penhaligon Castile, which happens to be my currently designated #1 soapy frag. But in that regard it's all about purpose and expectations. Demeter Pure Soap is very nice. I spray heavily on shirt and it does what I expect.

I spent twenty minutes today deciding between this & "clover" & went w/ pure soap because it reminds me of a shower in a bottle (not a substitution for one, of course). The smell evokes a sense of innocence for me & really captures that classic bar-of-soap smell. I feel like this is something you could wear & get away w/ some naughty behaviour of your choice in and no one would suspect you of anything simply because you're smelling so soft, sweet & clean. I could aslo this as being an excellent scent for layering as it is quite sheer & has minimal projection. That said I've had it on for a few hours & it's still going strong. Definitely a staple in my wardrobe.

I guess I remember using a different Ivory soap than everyone else. To me that is what I get...pure Ivory soap! Not masculine or feminine...just clean good ol Ivory soap. I love that they put a rubber ducky on the icon, because you can't wear this stuff and not feel SQUEAKY CLEAN! I am different than the majority...most people use the term "soapy" as a derogatory term in the fragrance world...however that is an accord I strive to acquire in my collection. It's a love here!
