I’m addicted to this stuff. It is clean, it is fresh, it is everything you want to smell like. I literally feel like I’ve just taken a shower when I use this. Great for spritzing throughout the day. I keep it in my purse.

Living Grace would be SUCH a nice fragrance if it weren’t for that fakey fresh cucumber note… ruins it for me. On the up-side, I can smell the white musk base past 12 hours on my skin.
Pro-tip: a little dab of ‘Carillon pour une Ange’ is much nicer, with a similar, lily-of-the-valley lyricism, unmuddied.

I love the lily of the valley on this, its opening is very lovely, its like on initial sniff you are slightly swept off and standing in the middle of a Lily of the valley garden, enveloped with its beautiful scent! But, wait ten minutes, and… Duh, wheres the flower???? Such a pity, so lovely opening and so short lived! Sillage is so so either. I really wanted to like this, and I could, but with poor sillage and longevity, Its just isn’t working.

I got this perfume for my birthday and from just smelling it a thought came to my head like poetry. A girl in a white cotton dress walking on the shores on a sunny day with mists from the ocean blowing through linen drying out in front of a seaside cottage, a resemblance of all things pure, fresh, vintage romantic. Which what inspired my birthday trip at the seaside and had tons of compliments, I like that its comfy to wear and feels like me.

Musky lily-of-the-valley. Very green with a slightly sweet opening. Fresh and short lasting.

Lovely scent! I’ve been struggling to find a scent that’s not nauseating or cloying and after trying this at David Jones, I knew I had to get it. Super lovely, clean, and fresh. Lily of the valley is prominent in this lovely juice. I don’t detect neroli and the musk is so subtle.

Green chemical clean – is the best way I can think of to describe this fragrance. I think they were going for “green”, but it’s so sharp that it just reads as chemical to me. I can’t say I really find any floral in it all. It’s just a clean green chemical bomb for me. ……. Luckily for me, I only purchased a roller-ball on sale (blind buy – $7.99) because I wanted something to hide the stench of dog in my car before I had to pick up a friend. (buying Febreze wasn’t an option! LOL)
I am very rarely a fan of any scent described as “green” – so it’s not really a wonder that I don’t like this.
I have Philosophy Clean Grace and love it, but this one smells just awful to me.
p.s. My review is based on using the fragrance in the car, smelling the perfume on the roller-ball and wearing it once or twice. It’s not pleasant to me no matter what I put it on.

When I tested this at the store, on the paper -perfect – thought I had to have it, such a super clean clean clean smell.
So I searched few days later and bought online.
It turned out to be a copy of one the CLEAN perfumes – shower clean- but it is the screechiest. most chemical and artificial , potent “clean” also to the pointwhere youthink it is turning sour like deodorant trying to cover armpit BO :(((( it basically needs testing properly before buying, lesson learned, this is just an expensive bathroom laundry/deodorant

I had completely forgotten that I had a sample vial of this. I found it in the back of a drawer today and tested it for the first time. It smells so clean, laundry-like, not soapy. I personally find scents like this boring, but the more time that goes by, the more I’m enjoying this one. It’s pretty.
djnik – :
A mellow Lily of the Valley perfume for those that might like Lily of the Valley but find Jessica McClintock too screechy or overwhelming. I don’t smell any neroli in this.
enu283speagoessenda – :
I absolutely loooove this perfume, it smells amazing. I always wondered what those people who smell super clean used, this is it!!! Smells lovely like you just stepped out of a shower full of floral water drops.

I don’t like Amazing Grace but I do like this. I don’t find them to be similar at all to be honest. This is a lovey clean scent without being really soapy or cleaning product like. It lasts 3 hours on me but I carry the perfume solid in my purse to refresh the scent. The solid has a silver shimmer to it and sits very close to the skin. I would suggest just the perfume solid if you have a need to avoid others sensitivities. This doesn’t bother my asthmatic husband either. I feel fresh when I wear this but would never suggest wearing a scent to the gym though because it’s offensive to others around you.

Very soft and non-threatening. Understatedly sexy. Lasts for ages on the skin. Glorious dry down. Makes you nice-to-be-near, but you can relax because it’s subtle. Gentle, yet persistent. I love it!
aigyl7384 – :
Smells like fresh clothes. Very pleasant. This is indeed a safe scent for women.
Amazing grace, on the other hand, reminds me of a T-shirt for some odd reason. Both are equally amazing scents for everyday use, not for any special occasion.
Snobbigneve – :
Clean smelling floral musk. It smells familiar, yet I cannot pinpoint where else I’ve smelled it. This is the kind of white floral that is not heady (unlike perfumes with jasmine and tuberose notes.) Classy, not cloying, long-lasting (I’ve had it on for 4 hours and is still going strong), but does not dominate the room with its presence. This would be a perfect go-to daytime scent when you’re in a hurry and don’t know exactly what scent to wear.

This was a blind buy and I am very pleasantly surprised. I rarely if ever buy anything on impulse or blindly but I had online store credit that was about to expire.
I tend to reach for “transparent” fragrances, but at the same time am not a fan of “flat” smells that remind you of lemony household cleaner, straight-out-of-the-bottle Tide, nondescript shampoo, etc. Living Grace definitely falls into the clean smelling category but is not one of the generic household kinds.
It has a simple but solid enough composition that while being soapy, it does carry some complexity. It smells refreshingly crisp but the musk adds just enough creamy depth to it to make it more “grown up” and interesting. It’s definitely a put-together, polished kind of clean rather than lounging around just after shower kind of clean. It will draw people in, not because it’s dark and mysterious and dramatic, but because anyone who smells this would want to get another whiff of the pleasant, refreshing cleanness. An oxymoron, perhaps, but I could almost call this a creamy aquatic.
Overall I am extremely happy with the purchase. If you are looking for a versatile, fresh fragrance but have been disappointed in the past by the likes of CLEAN brand perfumes, give this a try. You just might like it.

A softer, more powdery version of Clean Shower Fresh, which used to be my signature scent 5 years ago.
I can’t decide whether I like this or not. I could wear this at my workplace (I’m a kindergarten teacher). It makes me feel like a soft, fluffy light blue cotton ball 😀
LATER: after some hours it did not remind of Shower Fresh any more, it was mainly the opening. It is actually very pleasant.
rustalive – :
picked this up on a whim from an ebay seller i was already buying something else from, and i’m glad i did.
it does remind me a good deal of Amazing Grace, but mixed with either Baby Grace or Falling in Love (i get them mixed up in my scent memory, and i don’t have either handy to re-sniff).
so, yeah. if you dislike AG, you’ll probably not like this either. if you’ve liked many of the Philosophy scents, you’ll probably like this one, too.

I’m so proud of myself right now because this is the very first fragrance where I was able to guess all of the notes accurately just from sniffing the back of my hand. But given that there are only 3 notes, my achievnement is basically the perfume world’s equivalent of being able to spell CAT correctly for the first time but still… YAY!
As for the fragrance itself, I get a huge waft of MUSK with the soft fresh citrussy flavor of the neroli and the indolic white floweryness of the lily-of-the-valley just hanging out in the background. This perfume can veer off into deodorant territory real fast. I would reccomend this for going to the gym or jogging or bicycling or other sporty activities where you might break a sweat because it has that very fresh and clean feeling.

I was strolling through Belk last Sunday & sampled this just out of curiosity. When I first spritzed it on, I thought “This is identical to Amazing Grace.” (I adore Amazing Grace, btw.) By the time I got home, WOW!!! This fragrance dries down into the most amazing, indescribable, powdery-clean, softly-sweet fragrance with just a suggestion of spiciness that I have ever experienced. No, it’s not assertive, complicated or ground-breaking – it’s just plain heavenly. Amazing.

Amazing grace smells better than this.
Pure grace smells better than this.
This smells like bug spray so help me god. 🙁
and of course I paid like 60 dollars for the bottle. yay.
magey – :
Living Grace was marketed to me by the lovely salesgirl as “safe” fragrance. It’s not hard to see why–the opening is very lively yet calming and it mellows down beautifully into a very approachable and likeable fragrance. Sadly, like its sisters in the “Grace” range, it doesn’t want to be remembered. It’s too safe that it lacks the oomph.
This scent is a crowd-pleaser. I imagine it’ll be hard to find someone who absolutely hates this perfume (not counting those who hates it because it’s too safe and austere). It’s so clean, pure and fresh. Almost like Pure Grace, but unlike its sister, Living Grace is much livelier and bolder. Sillage and longevity is just nice. Smell is fresh all the way with the dry-down more delectable than the opening.
Overall, I really like this scent but it doesn’t mark me that much. It’s safe, but people do say that it’s better to not be so safe that you miss the fun. Still, if I find it on discount I’d probably invest on this. It’s a good scent that won’t offend anyone.
Rating: 7/10

Smells similar to AG but stronger.

I agree with honey days that both Living Grace and Amazing Grace smell pretty much the same.
Iroguiree – :
LIVING GRACE SMELLS SO CLEAN AND FREASH WITH A TOUCH OF GREEN,I LOVE IT ,ITS MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OF THEM.I LOVED BABY GRACE TOO.
юлай – :
Smells alot like cleaning products to me, slightly nicer on the dry down but still not crazy about it unfortunately as I often like fresher fragrances, perhaps I need more fruityness to make me happy 🙂

Springtime in a bottle…of dry oil spray. Uplifting floral.
fox198700 – :
I tried this today and I think this smells like a perfect mix of Amazing Grace and Heaven by GAP. I love it and have to have it !
husid – :
I absolutely love this scent, I think it smells just like “the fine perfume,”amazing grace” but instead of paying 60 bucks for the perfume, i pay half the price, plus get lotion.. smells amazingly clean and fresh..Love, love, love, Amazing Grace is still my all time favorite though
soarmabog – :
I own a 15ml of PLG. Its very gentle and soft, and has quite a lasting power. I like it best when sprayed over my clothes, if I spray it on my skin it quickly turns too sweet and a bit cloying. This smells exactly like a lathery white french milled soap.
And yes, its very similar to Amazing Grace, just less flowery and more soapy.
Editor_FIL – :
No, not exactly. A few of the graces are very similar, but I put one on each hand and they smell slightly different. I prefer amazing, but very similar.
kolomoec03 – :
Is it just me, or does it smell exactly like Amazing Grace? I can’t tell the difference.
