I love the perfume but it's getting increasingly difficult to get hold of, so I am on the lookout for something similar. Does anyone have anything they'd recommend. Many thanks Smile

This perfume is, I think, a more recent version of DKNY Pure, which was my signature scent for a few years until it was discontinued. I loved the clean and/or sweet floral notes and the sandalwood/vanilla dry down. Perfumes which seem to me to have some or all of these elements are Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere (a lighter version of the original), Chanel Paris-Venise, Tocca Colette. Have tried and liked these two as well, but they are on the salty vanilla side: Paco Rabanne Olympea, Juliette Has a Gun Vanilla Vibes.

On Fragrantica, many users say that this perfume reminds them of Bulgari Omnia Crystalline EDP, but I've not compared it myself.

There are a lot of similar notes in Kayali Musk 12 so this might be worth testing as well.

Thank you for those suggestions. The ones I've looked at after reading Fragrantica haven't really seemed the scent after unfortunately, but I am willing to try.
The one I mentioned I believe is the original one they brought out before bringing out touch of rose and touch verbena.
Edit. Ok, I've looked into it a bit more and the Pure original and the touch of vanilla seem to have the same notes. I'm very confused. I'm sure I had Pure originally and I really didn't think the vanilla one was any different, but maybe I am misremembering it?
