I want to smell soapy

Can anyone recommend a 'soapy' perfume with good staying power? So far I've found Burberry body, which is lovely, but I'd like a few.

What kind of soap? There’s a big range potentially

Philosophy amazing grace
Keihls musk
Francis Kurkdjian Aqua universalis
Prada Infusions d’iris
Traditional Gentlemen’s soap Jicky vol de nuit or charade (all Guerlains)
Shalimar smells a bit like baby soaps
Mary greenwell Lemon smells like lemon soap
The Aqua di Parma’s are colognes that smell like Spanish soap to me

BlueKittens · 15/06/2018 10:13

And a lot of the e Coudrays have a powdery feminine soapiness to them

TheSpottedZebra · 15/06/2018 10:16

Smell it before you rule it out, but the original JLO Glow is lovely and smells clean and soapy.
NB not Miami or any of the other ones, just JLo Glow.

DKNY woman smells soapy to me.

madmomma · 15/06/2018 10:43

Ooh thanks I'm excited to try these. Bluekittens I don't know but you've got me thinking. Maybe musky and a bit floral...

Left field but After the rain by Arran Aromatics might be one to try.

I love JLo Glow (original), nice n soapy !

Hugo Boss Ma Vie (pink bottle)

SJP Lovely smells soapy and 'clean', the perfume and the satin body oil perfume spray especially.

ThenCameTheFools · 15/06/2018 13:51

Prada Infusion d'Iris is very soapy. It's my go to perfume when I feel ill. Don't buy the real thing though, get the perfume parlour dupe. It's fab. They also do a Dove perfume and a Nivea cream if you want an actual soap perfume!

Benefit Maybe Baby

Bobbi Brown Bath, I'm wearing it now and it's perfect, I'm obsessed with smelling like soap! I know people always recommend JLo Glow and SJP Lovely, but to me Glow smells like cheap air freshener (it contains the same nitro musks that most laundry powder/lots of air fresheners use), and Lovely is a pretty floral with an Egyptian Musk base.

JustGettingStarted · 15/06/2018 13:53

White Linen?

OhDearMavis · 15/06/2018 13:54

Jo malone mimosa and cardamom. Fresh and a bit soapy, love it!

Ollivander84 · 15/06/2018 13:56

Perfume parlour dove
Any of the clean scents

J’adore Lumiere by Dior lasted for days after just one tester spray. Probably because I hadn’t immunized myself to it.

Clean, soapy but rich-smelling, too.

bokkleorandoove · 15/06/2018 14:07

Philosophy Pure Grace

trigger2 · 15/06/2018 14:42

Perfume Parlour do a Dove scent ? I think I’d like that. I like the bar smell, not the body wash

Gretol · 15/06/2018 16:48

Keihls original musk is the best clean soapy fragrance but not very long lasting Sad I'm addicted to it. I would love to find something similar with a bit more depth and staying power

Gretol · 15/06/2018 16:49

I second philosophy pure grace. Sadly its my best friends signature scent

StoatofDisarray · 15/06/2018 16:51

Penhaligon's Castille. And here's why:
