Oh…it smells so delicate and beautiful. That’s exactly what I would expect Etro Heliotrope to smell like, but that was not the case. Here, the almonds are slightly sweetish and fluffy. Although vanilla is not listed, I can feel the gourmet character of this essence. I don’t feel the aldehydes and the flowers listed in the first place, maybe just the tender musk veil. However, after about 10 – 15 minutes after application, I can feel the floral aura of this fragrance, I guess the mimosa takes the stage.
It’s really a great scent, it makes me curious about other perfumes from The Different Company.
Edit: The performance on skin is great, too … ~ 6 h

This smells exactly like Kenzo Amour! This is a beautiful airy and creamy scent. Slightly sweet. I do not smell almond. I wear this very cozy fragrance to work and to bed.

Opening notes; I get baby powder, vanilla and sugared almonds. Then I smell fresh pastries right out of the oven. If you’re into gourmand scents it’s a safe bet you’d like it. I have another perfume by TDC, and both are impressive because it’s evident that the ingredients are quality.
This stays linear after the first 30 minutes: the scent does not change, but since I like it I’m happy. Projection is low, but this has longevity. It lasts about 4 -5 hours then turns into a skin scent for several hours more. I’m looking forward to sampling more from this house. So far I’m really impressed.

This is magnificent,magical and dreamy parfum… fascinating for its seemingly contrasting notes, such as the initial aldehyde note that gives the perfume a blurry air,clear and soft as the soft snow in the winter. It evokes in me strong emotions linked to something I do not remember but that makes me feel good. This is complex and sophisticated, it wraps you like a cloud and drags you with it with its wake… this for me is a masterpiece, my favorite perfume The Different Company. Sentimental..I love it ❤

The Calisson! I love how the Calisson greets me in the morning. Picture an autumn morning, the sun warming your room: Light, but not bright, warm, but not hot. A flavour but not a taste.
Definitely no “clean T-Shirt” around here, but soft, spicy and comforting.
Pure eVe is your companion when you can need some comfort and your best friend is not close. Take this bottle!
I have it right next to “Laine de Verre” by Serge Lutens and love them both.

As soon as I sprayed it I knew that I need to have it.it’s simply so me.I love almond and musk pure eve is all about musky florals and almonds.I tried to ignore it because it seemed to be too light and I like sillage monsters but I really love how it smells and it was heavily discounted because of valentine so I brought home a 3oz bottle for myself and I don’t regret it
Pure eve is indeed very soft and this softness is what makes it heavenly gorgeous.it’s very powdery but doesn’t feel very dry.it’s sweet but it’s sweetness isn’t sharp or syrupy so doesn’t seem to be too much.there’s nothing sharp or heavy here.everything remains soft,pretty,calm and smooth.it also feels very clean without smelling like cleaning products.it’s a feminine scent in my book,there’s nothing male ish here but it won’t seem out of place on the right man too
Almond,musk,something like a creamy vanilla and soft,powdery florals(very much like heliotrope) and soft,fluffy sweetness is what I smell here.imagine sweet musky baby powder with nutty,almondy nuances.a delicious baby powder
Imagine you came out of shower and moistened your skin with an almond body lotion and then sprayed a sweet powdery sugary musky vanilla scent and after an hour there’s a combination of these two creamy and powdery scents.very cuddly and warm.lovely to go to sleep in this smooth cloud and have sweetest dreams
It’s very inoffensive,beautiful and versatile.it’s wearable year round as daily perfume,at work or even as date perfume.whenever you want to feel comfortable,humble,relaxed in simple also pretty way.it’s so beautiful and balanced that I can wear it everyday without feeling nauseous.it’s like a sweet dream.smooth and soothing and cozy.don’t afraid of musk and aldehydes,it’s not a old musty scent.it’s very modern.pure eve is like a cuddly beige cashmere sweater.
I love it and I highly recommend it to whoever wants something soft,clean,delicious,delicate and pretty
❤❤❤❤

love this fragrance its very delicious scent. Almond dominate this fragrance. Very sweet almost like dessert candy added creaminest almonds. Performance is great. Overspraying can sometimes too cloying. 2 spray can last me 8 hours. Great for cool weather.
UPDATE: 7/20/2017
Been wearing this on night spring summer works wonder but not good on hot day can get very cloying. This thing last and last on my skin. I don’t know maybe almond love my skin for some reason. I also let a female friend try this and she loves it. Very sweet scent.

Smells like Aubade : nut and almond. Perfect for the office but a little boring
schook05 – :
For me too much almonds and cooling flowers as that chemical lilies of the valley. It does not unite well to me .Sorry 🙂
zadornov – :
this is an incredibly fragrance. truthful from the first time you spray it and special ’cause it makes me feel perfect when i wear it. very very unique, classy and comfortable. sadly i had to adbandon it just because of its sillage and longevity. after 15 mins i could not smell it anymore and also people around don’t detect it. it’s not unexpencive and bought it twice hoping it was my nose, but i had to give up at the end. hope they will improve its formula one day with stronger persistence and sillage ;,( such a shame

This is an ode to the White Rose.
So well blended, the sweet notes and almond round it out perfectly, bringing out the essence of white roses. This is what angels smell like.
I love this, I wish this projected more and lasted longer, but I understand that this needs to be felt only as a gentle whisper.
Pure and gentle, this will go fast. Lovely for summer. I can imagine this being worn in winter too. So pleased that I picked this up purely by chance. Very lady like, definitely signature material.
The musk, white rose and cedar makes it smell very much like Narciso. I couldn’t tell you which I preferred though as Narciso projects a heck of a lot better.
This needs applying practically every hour. It’s gone in virtually 30 seconds. It’s more like a soft, white creamy skin scent than anything else. Reminds me of the smell of moisturiser or day cream.
I am supremely irritated however, that this stuff is so soft, and a 50mL bottle costs over $200. I was fortunate enough to buy it for $40 through sheer providence, I love it so much that I crave it, but I have had it barely a month and used half of it already- I won’t be able to buy it again as it is so expensive. Tragedy.

This is quite a gorgeous sweet almond scent! If you’re looking for a musky amaretto, I’d say this is it. The opening smells strongly of vanilla and alcohol, almost like a cheap vanilla body spray or hand sanitizer. I’m blaming the aldehydes for that part, and it only lasts a second so it’s no big deal. As the scent develops, I get a lot of sweet dry almonds (almost a marzipan, but dry) along with a soft musk and some flax. I’ve never smelled flax in perfume before, and it’s a very distinctive note. It’s different and “nose-catching” (I guess “eye-catching” isn’t the right phrase here) and sets off the other notes very well. I’m a huge fan of this scent and would love it for winter; however the price tag is a bit much. If I could find it for under $100 I would certainly purchase it.
Side note: while it does faintly remind me of Midnight Poison, I find this to be more well-rounded and not harsh to the nose like MP. I’m not a fan of MP at all but this one is a strong like.
Mifodiy55 – :
I used to love musk and I went through a phase of wearing Penhaligon’s Artemesia almost constantly. Problem was, I then totally sickened myself of it and have barely gone near musk ever since.
So my problem with this is that it reminds me quite a lot of Artemesia and is very heavy on the musk.
That said, it is a gentle beauty. I probably won’t be buying a full bottle of it because it reminds me so much of something I managed to sicken myself of, but that’s not the perfume’s fault.
It’s musk and almond, with a hint of fruity sweetness. It’s fairly linear and quite soft sillage. The longevity is crazy, it lasts and lasts.
It’s very delicate and feminine, although not at all complex. I don’t notice either the rose or the aldehydes at all. I was expecting a burst of aldehydes in the opening, but I really only ever get the base notes from this.
You need to be a musk lover for this one because it’s a very prominent note.
metallurgov – :
At first it seems to be quite unusual, possibly due to aldehydes, but after a while it develops into a charming, soft sweet almond scent. Pleasant and smooth. To sum up in one word: lovely!

I can see the reason why some reviewers compare it to Hypnotic Poison. It is equally almondy and just as sweet as MP (or even sweeter, even though it seems just not possible). However, while MP is all about vanilla, Pure eVe is all about musk. The musk here is so higly concentrated that it feels thick, powdery, chalky, almost like flour – it really adds depth and body to the frag. And despite being über sweet, Pure eVe has some unusual, fresh quality into it. How did they manage to achieve it – beats me.
It has enormous sillage and unbeatable longevity – 12 hrs and still feeling like aplied half an hour ago.
Having said that – I don’t like it, it’s just not my cup of tea.
resident2014 – :
I would love this if they’d left out the musk. Why are so many perfumes ruined by overpowering musk?? Sigh.

كثيرا ما اجد العطور النسائية الجديدة دون المستوى
الا ما ندر … تكرار ونوع من الابتذال
هذا العطر أراه شيئا جميلا
فيه لمحات فاتنة تدور ما بين العصرية والكلاسيكية
ربما هذا سر اعجابي به
الألدهيدات وإن كان مركبا صناعيا غير أنه لو وجد بشكل نقي
فإنك ستعجب به ولن تتصور ابدا انه غير طبيعي
ولن يصيبك أي امتعاض أو نفور كما هو الحال في الأنواع الرخيصة
العطر سويتي بودري مفعم بالزهور
وأعتقد أن هذا هو مقصد أغلب النساء
الألدهيدات في المقدمة لشد الانتباه
فهو عنصر بارع في القيام بهذا الدور
وهنا الألدهيدات زهرية الطابع
للتمهيد الجيد لقلب هذا العطر الزهري
والذي يمثله هذا الثلاثي الفاتن
الكتان – الورود – الميموزا
وجود زهرة الكتان كان مفاجأة سارة بالنسبة لي
هذا الثلاثي مع الألدهيدات سيكون شيئا فاتنا فواحا
ثم يظهر في القاعدة اللوز الناعم الكريمي مختلطا بالمسك البودري الأشد نعومة
ونوتة سويتية ستعمل على ابقاء العطر لمدة أطول
ولمحات فاكهية مجففة ليست بالمكثقة ولكن لإضفاء شيء من البهجة
ولتسهيل ارتداؤه صيفا وشتاءا
ويتبقى أخشاب الأرز لعمل نوع من التوازن
العطر جميل كما ذكرت
نقي وهذه أكبر ميزاته
الثبات والفوحان جيدان
تقييمي للعطر 8.5/10

I get a rice pudding vibe in the opening of Pure eVe. Then the musk floats in with a note that reminds me of old-fashioned yellow Jergens lotion. Sometimes I can detect almond and baby powder but mostly this scent is abstract. Something about it reminds me of warm, moist air and dry fluffy towels. It is pleasant in the way shampoo can be pleasant.
Doc_Y – :
I had always been mesmerised by the Carnation flower. My mother grew them in the garden for as long as I can remember and along with the rose, this is easily my favourite flower. The spice and aroma of the carnation is just the right amount of floral for me. I couldn’t see myself wearing it, but I wouldn’t hesitate to douse the other half in this.
The opening starts soft and gets louder as this scent progresses. I only tried a little from my sample and it lasted the whole day on my skin. All I can say is that it’s a Carnation explosion! Reminds me a bit of Cartier’s Baiser Vole, which is equally a carnation-infused scent.
If carnations are your thing, then you are going to love this scent. Surprisingly, the note is not listed, so it could be creating that effect with cloves and other similar spices, but none the less, a fantastic scent!

First off I’m a masculine male who went to Barneys NYC to purchase Chergui by Serge Lutens for the up and coming fall and winter months. Excellent frag in it’s own right by the way! While waiting for the wrap up the salesman asked me to sample this other fragrance, but he didn’t tell me the name he just sprayed on my hand.. W.O.W !!!!!!! The scent was intoxicating I thought, but I had to play it cool.. I told him I would see how the dry down went, and if I liked it I would be back soon to purchase.. I came back anxiously the VERY NEXT DAY!!!! I could not stop smelling the spritz point after I left the store.. Heavenly scent!! Smells like vanilla And almond cotton candy with a touch of musk that prevents it from being too sweet or too feminine “I REPEAT DOES NOT SMELL FEMININE!!!”. Surprisingly it also smells very clean as well.. Equally as surprised that this isn’t listed as a unisex blend.. I also realize why he didn’t initially tell me the name, “Pure Eve” would not have been something I would have voluntarily sampled had I known the name beforehand.. Immensely glad I did however.. This juice is amazing I give it 20 on the scale of 1 to 10.. Ladies try this on your men trust me both of you will thank Mighty Lion and the Barneys sales rep who graced me…Top shelf parfume a must smell…

It’s absolutely amazing! Got this (Pure virgin) last summer, and the vanilla/musk scent in this one is unlike anything else I’ve ever smelled. If I should try to depict how it smells, I would say it’s like a combination of the classic La Prairie perfumes, but with a touch of Byredo uniqueness. It lasts really long, and I still have over half a bottle left still after much use (you only need one spray).
The bottle is really lux, and I’ve never met anyone with the same perfume, so this is really limited, which I like. I really hate smelling like everyone else.
If you spray this on right after you’ve showered, it smells like the Clean perfumes at first (fresh smell), but when it settles, the vanilla and musk perfection comes out.
I can also recommend Guerlain Shalimar Initial (even though it is not a limited perfume, I rarely come across anyone who has it). I use Pure virgin for daytime, and Shalimar for night, since it is more spicy and oriental.

pure eve = pure virgin.
it’s the same fragrance. just changed name. virgin to eve. so i just buy a virgin that left only one in my country… even that high price.
also, it’s 50ml, so It’s not refilable… i was crazy…
Sokol.. :D – :
Just Bought it,my first from TDC I adore that,
but the name is “Pure Virgin”. is that the same? also on box written: “for her or for him”…. no matter what the name is, notes are so luxe.

Light simple musky floral scent with medium sillage and poor longevity on my skin – about 3 hours only. I highly reccomend to test it before buying.
FriendMolly – :
This is a warm, cosy, musky floral. Lovely for those evenings in winter with great comfort appeal it wraps you in a soft powdery floral confection.
Soft and sweet in an understated way and easy to wear 8/10 silage and a couple of hours tops for longevity.
Lepealurserge – :
I love & adore this scent! it is a favorite of mine. It is unlike anything else very unique. Its sort of candy fruit but i think thats the mimosa & callison, sweet, powdery maybe its a little light musk, its not a straight up floral either so its weird in a good way.
I just want to sniff myself all day!!!
for lovers of unusual sweet, off the beaten path, but safe perfume.
Update: I just got a sample of Cartiers le baiser du Dragon, and this smells almost identicle!
Yudrag – :
Per The Different Company’s website:
“Pure Virgin is born from a simple idea: create a simple and comfortable perfume, fresh and luxurious a perfume as soft and elegant as a Seersucker shirt or a black dress. For her or for him, a purely sensual luxury to wear every day.
Creation and inspiration: Céline Ellena uses the best quality of Musk which reminds us the sensation of silk mixed with cotton on our skin, structured by Cedarwood and softened by the Calisson.”
Notes (also listed on the bottle label): Evanescent Musk, Fresh Air, Linen Flower, White Rose, Cedarwood, Calisson, and Mimosa.
The day I bought this, I originally had my mind set on purchasing L’Artisan’s Traversée du Bosphore for its fruity gourmand Turkish delight note, but was instead pointed in the direction of Pure Virgin by the sales associate for its similar fruity gourmand note of the French Calisson.
This is a nice, casual unisex fragrance. A mix between clean and gourmand…deliciously clean! LOL
It smells similar to the Febreze Seaside and Spring air freshener in my bathroom, but I don’t care… I like it! =]

I’m a complete sucker for the light,soft, powdery, skin scent. Theoretically this should have been a dream for me. Unfortunately every time I spray it on my skin it turns out to be a nightmare. A scary one. It’s one of the very very few scents that actually turns my stomache a bit.
It starts out as a very musky, powdery, light rose. The powder in this however never becomes luminescent. On me it just takes it to this very heavy, sticky, feeling place and yet it’s not heavy or sticky really at all. In it’s supreme lightness it still manages to capture this tone somehow though. The sweet calisson starts to come out after about 15 minutes and that’s when the real trouble begins.
As it starts to sweeten up there’s nothing to lift it up and make it sparkle. Instead it sits on my skin and dies a slow, slow , slow, death. It weighs down the air wherever I go and becomes truly stifling. It smothers the joy in the atmosphere.
The sillage on this is med. to light but because I don’t care for it it feels like it takes up the whole room. Longevity is about an 8/10. I can’t get this stuff to go away no matter what I do.
I actually tried this before buying and in my stubbornness convinced myself that it would be better once I was able to spray it rather than dabbing.I was wrong. I know that this works quite well on others but please~sniff before you buy just to make sure.
Other notes included in this perfume are Calisson and Mimosa.
