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.

Standard inoffensive fresh work perfume for the warmer months for me. It smells like fresh linen, a bit of laundry scent hint but well rounded, in a good way. I actually like laundry scent, smells fresh and clean. I feel confident that no one is getting a headache by this perfume when I wear it at work. Well worth its price.

I am not familiar with Infusion d'Iris, so cannot comment on similarities (I have tried it, but couldn't smell a thing, I am probaby anosmic to it). I blind bought this last week. Here in Greece it costs about 12 euro, I think. It is pretty: clean but not sharp or detergent-like and yes, fluffy, as another posted said. I think that it will work very well for the summer. It is not very similar with Korres' EDT, Iris Lily of the Valley Cotton, which I find much more interesting and distinctive as a scent. My issue with Pure Cotton is the longevity: it only lasts about half an hour on my skin (which, admittedly, is perfume eating). I guess this is normal, as it is only an eau de cologne. Therefore, I will be using it as a body mist. I have taken to spraying 5-6 on various parts and then re-applying. It does seem to have better staying power on clothes. One last little rant: I don't like the bottle or its colour. It doesn't look as nice as the other Korres pharmacy bottles. Then again,it's meant to be part of a different line. Still, I expect more from Korres. Ok, rant over.

After reading that this was similar to Infusion D'Iris (my favorite perfume and simply beautiful)I went to ebay and bought a bottle directly from a seller in Greece. It was inexpensive and certainly not packaged in the elegant way that Prada is, BUT, yes they are very much alike.With Infusion I always get a peppery note that I love and which is missing from Pure Cotton and I get what i believe is neroli from the Pure Cotton. Both are light, a bit too light (I have sought out a stronger version of Infusion D'Iris for years) but on me the Pure Cotton seems to be wearing longer. if you love Infusion this is worth checking out.

This is exactly the same like PRADA Infusion d' Iris, at a tiny fragment of the price. The logevity and sillage is suprisingly good for an eau de cologne. It perfmorms just like Prada. Very very good value for money!!!!

Yes it smells like iris prada but costs 10 euros. Also it has no strong chemicals.A great buy

Yes, exactly like infusion d' iris edp. Gorgeous!
