Pure Cotton

The notes for Pure Cotton from Korres include: Top: Mandarine and orris root Mid: Sandalwood, jasmine, heliotrope and white cedarwood Base: Musk I loooooove the smell of this. I feel like this seems MUCH more expensive than it is. Slightly citrus at the top with a powdery, incense-like, warm woods dry down. So elegant. When I put it on, I feel like an effortlessly fit woman living beach side somewhere. A woman who gets to wear cashmere, cotton and silk daily, lounging around without a care. I wear Pure Cotton lotion daily layered up with various different fragrances. It's a beautiful base for floral, woodsy, musky scents and the smell stays put for at least a few hours. Update: So, it's safe to say that I am OBSESSED with KPC. Just put in an order for more lotion and the matching Korres Pure Cotton body wash. I'm really excited to try it out! :) Will keep everyone posted

When I saw Korres launched this collection, I immediately wanted to smell Pure Cotton. Then I read it's similar to Prada's Infusion d'Iris, which is my alltime favorite perfume, I couldn't wait any longer to go to Greece and try it. On my very first day there I went to the pharmacy to spritz it and it was love, I bought it right away. It is veeeery similar to Prada, except drydown; with Pure Cotton is more on a fresh, "cottony" side, while Prada is more powdery, sophisticated, nonetheless still great. For eau de cologne it stays surprisingly long on my skin. I sprayed it at 8 in the morning, went to work, and when I got home at 6 in the afternoon I could still smell it. Pretty amazing! So, if you are on a budget, but love Infusion d'Iris, this is a perfect substitute at cca 15€ for 100ml. EDIT: This is more like Infusion d'Iris EDT.

Yay it looks like I am the first one to own a FB of this beauty...*smug face* Really beautiful and for an EDC, very strong and longlasting. I get the similarity with Prada Infusion d'Iris but will do a side by side test to compare later. For now, I am in iris heaven, what a high quality fragrance, simple but beautiful giving a clean fluffy feeling as the name suggests.

It is a lot like Infusion d'Iris. I have both, love both, but this is simpler, less complex, feels also a little cleaner. Noticeably different. And it seems to have been a limited edition, a one off, can't find anything anymore for sale for a decent price. Bring this one back, Korres, I will just keep buying this as long as you produce it.

I get so many compliments on this one! And it's really just a clean, fresh, after-shower scent. I wear it on the days I do Yoga or chill at home, so I don't understand why people love it so much on me. Paraben-free perfumes with natural ingredients that actually WORK and smell good are hard to come by, so this is a bit of a gem, I guess. Living in Greece it's easy to purchase (only 10-12 euros), and I am so glad I did. Not over the moon, but content that I finally have an easy-to-wear any-day scent in my collection. If you're looking for something clean (not "spicy" as in the description), inoffensive, all-natural, zesty and almost skin-like, then this is a great option! It won't last you all day, but it may just give off more sillage than a typical body spray or light EDT.
