    Floral and fresh, gentle enough for everyday summer wear. Sillage and longevity are low.

    I’ve used this many times; it smells rich, clean, like spring and white flowers—pure. Delicious, though the trail doesn’t last long.

    So noble it’s captivating, lovely and nothing more. Fresh at first, then dries down to something very sweet. Almost overwhelming for me, but I keep buying it. Lasts about four hours.

    I’ve had this scent in my collection since I was a girl; even though it has changed, it still retains that crisp, fresh, delicate, and musky floral essence I love. It feels very attractive, like a distant cousin to Cacharel’s Noa in EDT form. Noa is cozier with sweet flowers and warmth, but this is very similar in essence. At this price, I don’t mind reapplying it; it’s perfect for everyday summer freshness in Chile.

    A floral gem that Avon occasionally releases. It smells clean, slightly creamy, and evokes tranquility. I recommend it for the quality-to-price ratio.

    This is pure nostalgia. I like it, it doesn’t bother me, but it belonged to a beloved aunt who is no longer with us; it was her signature and smelled of pure whiteness, so I never took it off her—it was her identity. She even gifted it to me. It’s lovely, though a bit powdery, which I don’t usually enjoy. But since it’s the powdery water lily, not the rose, it’s wearable for younger people. I don’t find it clean; there are other scents for that. I think it has character. A beautiful classic, white and not yellow—thank goodness, haha.

  7. I think I’m the only one who doesn’t feel good with this. I bought it because of reviews saying it smells clean and because of the low price. To me, it doesn’t smell clean; it smells like very powdery roses. I tried it several times but couldn’t wear it; it reminds me of my grandmother or someone else… and that’s not bad, but I just don’t think it suits me. Maybe I’ll gift it to my grandma so she can enjoy it.

    I used to wear this a lot in my teens when I loved clean scents. I adored Cacharel’s Noa, and this was my daily choice that made me feel as clean as just out of the shower. Its performance is low; it’s for personal enjoyment, with no sillage or projection, or at most a minimal one. But for the price, it’s more than okay… for me, it’s personal; it reminds me of my school days.

    Beautiful white flowers and delicate, leaving everything feeling clean.

  11. CookieCat

    I used this years ago in high school and I think there’s an error on Fragrantica: it’s not by Harry Fremont but by Alberto Morillas. That’s when I discovered his creations were my favorites at the perfume shop where I worked part-time. Now that I’ve tried it again, I feel they ruined it; someone tampered with the formula and it doesn’t smell the same anymore. I still have a little bit left in the bottle, and yes, it smells totally different.

  12. danzaesencia

    Very subtle, floral, soft, slightly aquatic and herbal. I don’t know why I detect jasmine and neroli, maybe it’s the fusion of ylang-ylang, peony, and freesia. Perhaps the blend of sandalwood and musk creates a barely perceptible effect of warm, creamy vanilla that accompanies its linear evolution. The botanically harvested water lily is the star. I don’t smell mint, yet it’s mint that provides the main fresh note. It’s one of those fragrances recommended as a gift because it’s hard not to like it. It carries the Harry Fremont stamp, one of my favorite perfumery alchemists who has worked for many top houses.

    Reminds me of Treselle by Avon, which I already own, thanks to the white flowers. It feels very fresh; I don’t detect roses or ylang-ylang, but I’m surprised by the fresh mint and the longevity. I put it on in the morning while getting dressed with the intention of changing it later, but I can’t seem to get rid of the scent, which still feels quite present. So, regardless of my personal preferences, it’s a good perfume.

  15. I tried it right when it launched back in 2009 when I was 15. My mom sold Avon products, and I absolutely loved Pur Blanca; my sister liked Petit (which isn’t sold here anymore). I remember it as floral, clean, with that signature talc note. I’d buy it again without a doubt.

    It’s a unique scent but super feminine and exquisite. It’s cheap and high quality. One of the best fragrances from Avon.

    Delicious for its simplicity. A charming floral that, given the price-to-quality ratio, is worth trying. Without any big pretensions, it’s simply beautiful. It feels a bit light in winter, but it shines in the heat.

  18. magia olfativa

    A blend of musk and sandalwood with ylang-ylang and white rose creates a magical alchemy: a green floral, vanilla, and fresh scent that is nothing gourmand. It smells like neroli, creamy vanilla, mint, and hints of water lily. It’s timeless thanks to Harry Fremont, the genius behind Miracle, CK One, and other hits. It’s floral, green, and simple, and that simplicity makes it elegant. It lasts longer in heat and less in the cold. The price is incredible; it will become my daily staple.

    Pur Blanca is ideal for everyday wear, a subtle all-rounder that doesn’t bother or overpower. It smells clean, fresh, and feminine, like walking through a flower garden in the morning. The sillage is weak to moderate, just right for a soft daily perfume, and lasts about 4 hours on me, a bit longer on clothes. The best part is that it’s buildable: you can intensify it depending on the occasion. In Chile, it’s a steal, highly recommended!

    The first one I bought I fell in love with, but a few days later I gave it away because it irritated my skin. I bought it again, and for some reason, it has fascinated me until it became one of my favorites. I use it at least twice a week. What a pity they discontinued it in Colombia; the last time I saw it, I stocked up.

  21. charlotinable

    It was out of production for years, and although I didn’t know it, it was one of the brand’s favorites. After reading the reviews, I loved it and thought it would be a dream to see it back on sale. What a surprise to find it in the catalog and order four bottles, with six more on the way. It smells delicious, nothing like that Avon scent. The rose and freesia dance in a divine back-and-forth; at the end, the musk comes out with ylang-ylang, mint, and sandalwood. It reminds me of Noa by Cacharel and Omnia Crystalline by Bulgari. It doesn’t last long and its dry-down is very timid, sticking close to the skin or clothes, but it’s worth it. It’s perfect for these hot, oppressive days: beach afternoons, rainy days, or summer night walks. I love it so much that I’m going to buy many more; when I fall in love with a perfume, it’s forever, and I collect bottles. It doesn’t get old; it’s my biggest vice.

    It’s perfect for those looking for a simple, fresh scent that’s easy to wear because it’s not overwhelming. I like it, but it’s not anything special; the smell is a bit flat and generic. Very good for summer or spring.
