Perfume that smells like Dove soap

Does such a thing exist. Ideally id like one of those unbranded perfumes where its a smell-a-like rather than a perfume that smells similar. Ive found essential oils that say the smell of Dove but im wanting to wear it as a perfume.

Oh I'd be interested to know too, I was wondering this exact same thing the other day! I have changed from hand wash to soap because it's so much cheaper and less packaging. Haven't bought dove soap...ever! I've had the roll ons and shower creams etc. The soap on its own makes the whole bathroom smell amazing.

Estee Lauder White Linen smells soapy and clean and talc-y, if that's the sort of thing. Not Dove as such, but similar.

You can get one from perfume parlour

www.perfume-parlour.co.uk/dov-soap-0446/

You only need a tiny bit, it's very heavily scented

MoonDelay · 25/09/2020 14:24

Great, thank you! I've ordered some. Hope my daughter doesn't get hold of it otherwise we'll all be overcome with dove soap perfume poisoning. Why do they use SO much?!

I’ve got the perfume parlour one. It smells exactly like it.

Plump82 · 25/09/2020 15:17

Ooh this is exactly what am after. Is it just called Dove

The link takes you to it - called Dov

Plump82 · 25/09/2020 16:34

Woops sorry @trunumber i didn't even notice the link!

If you haven't used perfume parlour before they're brilliant, I highly recommend

I would probably get the roll on rather than the spray. I've found the spray too strong and hard to control how heavy the scent gets

Plump82 · 25/09/2020 17:01

Ive followed your advise! Although i am partial to overloading myself with perfume. I know that's frowned upon around here though! Could have spent a fortune on thaf website!

Seconding the perfume parlour version, it's lovey

ShrimpSymphony · 25/09/2020 18:43

J’Adore has a very soapy/shampoo kind of smell to me. I’ve never smelled Dove soap so can’t compare it

trunumber · 25/09/2020 20:07

Grin I'm not a subtle scent person either (I wore Obsession for a long time!) but the spray is so heavy I can only use it by spraying on a hairbrush and brushing through my hair otherwise I get a headache

Roowig2020 · 25/09/2020 20:38

Dolce and Gabbana Light light blue has a very Soapy smell. I don't know how much love Dove it is as that's quite a subtle, creamy smell.

FourEyesGood · 25/09/2020 23:08

Another recommendation for the Perfume Parlour Dov roll-on. I haven’t worn it for a while, but I used to get so many compliments when I did!

MoonDelay · 30/09/2020 11:12

Received the perfume today and yes it definitely smells like Dove soap and yes it is VERY potent! I can see myself spending a lot on this website in future!

Plump82 · 30/09/2020 11:25

I was hoping mine would have arrived by now.

PP can take quite a while to deliver anyway, as they make up batches as and when. I've often waited for 3 weeks or so, even without Coronavirus delays.

Any perfume with iris notes smells soapy. Prada Infusions d'Iris and Cacharel Noa are the most wonderful soapy clean fragrances.

Plump82 · 30/09/2020 15:45

Cacharel Noa, now there's a perfume I've not worn in ages. My gran used to buy me a bottle every Christmas.

It doesn't smell exactly like Dove but if you like musk and iris (soapy, clean laundry type smells) you would probably enjoy Diptyque Fleur de Peau.

Plump82 · 01/10/2020 10:49

My perfume arrived today. Love it!! And agreed, it is very strong!

It actually reminds me of an Avon one - Soft Musk. As soon as I sprayed it, it reminded me of my mum and she always wore that Avon perfume.

Prada infusion d'iris for the grown up version
