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.

I’m in Shalimar this evening- it’s the original soap perfume - smells a bit like baby wipes but in a good way!

I third the dove soap one, it's very strong though - buy the small roll on to see what you think

No-one has said Chanel no.5!

Next cashmere

Trust me 😁

I third Hugo Boss Ma Vie.

Victoria Beckham perfume is quite soapy smelling

I know it’s really old but Nina Ricci L’air du Temps smells EXACTLY like soap and talcum powder to me. A lovely soft, clean smell. They sell it in most places (Boots stock it, for one) - give it a try, would love to know what you think!

There's a brand called Clean who do lovely soapy clean perfumes. I had one called warm cotton and another called fresh laundry which were delicious

I second PP who said White Linen.

Yes the Perfume Parlour Dove scent is lovely, always get comments when I wear it

PugwallsSummer · 18/06/2018 15:39

The perfume parlour Dove spray isn't that strong, just strong enough. Not sure if the roll on is stronger as lots of people say they find theirs a bit strong but I definitely don't

slinkysaluki · 18/06/2018 17:55

Yes it's the roll on I have it's quite strong

J lo glow smells like you've just come out of the shower! It's gorgeous

Chanel 22 is a powerhouse of soapy aldehydes on me and is one of the few scents that really does last all day.

@Chocwocdoodah was going to suggest Nina Ricci L'air du temps. It absolutely smells of soap and fresh clean laundry to me.

Chocwocdoodah · 18/06/2018 23:09

@flaminglingos it does doesn’t it! Please try it and report back, OP!

Colourmylife1 · 19/06/2018 08:30

I second Hermes Twilly.

Anything with blossom in smells soapy. Orange blossom, lime or linden and lemon blossom are good ones, likewise Mimosa and other florals. Aldehydes don’t smell soapy at all to me but I’m aware that others perceive soapiness in different scents.
