You can buy a dove scented perfume online at perfume parlour or for something more expensive look at the Clean range.

Ps the perfume parlour one is REALLY strong. You need the tiniest drop of it

I like the green Eau de Givenchy - to me, that has a fresh, floral, soapy scent.

Perfume Parlour do a Dove scent perfume.

BusterGonad · 17/11/2020 11:02

Sarah Jessica Parkers' Lovely isn't soapy as such but a powdery floral soft cosy scent.

Glow by JLo

PatsyStone39 · 17/11/2020 12:10

Clean - Fresh Laundry. In fact, any of Clean's perfumes. Skin is lovely, too.

munchbunch12 · 17/11/2020 12:26

I second Glow by JLo!

Bluesheep8 · 17/11/2020 13:37

Oh and baby grace by philosophy

Thereluctantstepmother · 17/11/2020 13:38

Sarah Jessica Parker’s one is called Lovely and smells exactly as you describe.

CushionsandCandles · 17/11/2020 13:59

White Linen Estée Lauder is the obvious choice

(Although I agree with the JM Grapefruit suggestion- it's Devine)

TheSilentStars · 17/11/2020 14:20

Anything with iris as a note will smell soapy
Prada Infusions d'Iris
Noa
philosophy Grace (can't remember exact name)
All these have that clean "white" soapy smell.

As others have said PP do Nivea and Dove

Other houses do "fabric softener" style fragrances with the "linen" effect, so not "soap" but still "clean".

A third vote for Glow by JLo. I expected to hate a celebrity perfume but it's absolutely lovely, like you have just stepped out of the shower and have a really clean neck!

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 17/11/2020 14:37

Pure Grace is very soapy. Reminds me of the small white bars that we used to get in primary school loos...I still really like it though! Grin

Beebumble2 · 17/11/2020 19:13

Kenzo Flower smells like baby soap to me. Lovely and cheap at Superdrug.

cactusdog · 17/11/2020 19:16

Have white linen by Estée Lauder, I like it but find it a bit overpowering, even just using a little.

I also have Glo by JLo and I LOVE it! To me it smells like sun cream on the beach on a hot day, Devine.
That reminds me I must get it out!

Liking the sounds of Pure Grace and the Sarah Jessica Parker one!

Light blue by D&G and any philosophy ones

TheSpottedZebra · 17/11/2020 19:42

Fourthing JLo Glow, but you already have it!

BaseDrops · 17/11/2020 19:57

I think Arpege smells like soap. Posh soap Grin but soap.

TheSilentStars · 17/11/2020 20:05

Arpege is leathery soap, agreed. Wonderful.

evilharpy · 17/11/2020 20:53

Everyone always recommends Glow for soapy scents but I don't get the soapiness at all.

The Perfume Parlour Dove dupe is great though.
