This is the most soap-like and clean-smelling perfume I’ve ever tried, and it truly is. I walked out of the store with a sample strip after testing two scents from this brand. The sales associate recommended it, but I didn’t pay attention because the name ‘Freesia’ made me think it would be fruity and gourmand. My surprise came hours later when I smelled the sample strip: the scent was absolutely wonderful—a pure soap aroma, that fresh hotel towel kind of clean. As soon as I could, I went back to the store to test it on my skin, and it smelled exactly the same as on the strip: like soap, like cleanliness, like freshly laundered white sheets. Lasting power on skin is about 3-4 hours, maybe less now in summer with the heat and sweat. It’s a masterpiece.
