I was probably 4 or 5 years old, at my auntie's cottage in St-Côme QC, when I smelled my first water lily. This fragrance was a blind buy and it was recommended to me by a Facebook fragrance group when I asked for help finding a clean soapy scent. The situation that you wanna look friendly, not a sweety, like hang out with some guy flirting with you but you're not sure yet that you want him to be boyfriend or just friend

Clean ironed bedsheets, lavender tea, white silk pajamas, late nights freshly showered, staring at the moon. The crispiest clean scent I’ve ever encountered. Cooling, innocent, relaxing, inoffensive. I could lay in bed and bask in this. Lasts for hours on my skin and i’m obsessed with that lavender note + musk. It’s so refreshing. There’s a hint of sweetness there that makes this feminine and graceful, delicate even. It’s such a “good girl” scent, pure grace indeed.Pure Grace...perfect name for this fragrance. I must admit that at first this didn't appeal to me because it's unlike any of my perfumes. But slowly and quietly it has become one of my favorites. It's very clean but I find a bit of sweetness in it....just a tiny bit. If I wear it to work I know no one will know it's perfume because it smells much like my clothes smell, fresh out of the dryer. When masks were mandatory sometimes I would spray this in the air and wave my mask through it so I could smell it all day. Sometimes I wear this to bed at night as it's very comforting. The musk note is so soft. Pure Grace features pure, crisp soap and water notes, creating the simplest, cleanest scent imaginable. This was too sharp, screechy, synthetic, and not well blended. Also had an aldehydic dry down that turned metallic. 2nd Philosophy fragrance I've tried where that happened, and it wasn't on my skin either. Pure Grace is a clean, fluffy, laundry-type scent. It’s a little screechy-synthetic but not as aggressive as others in this vein, like the CLEAN Cotton fragrance which I remember being extremely astringent. inspired by the original and beloved scent, pure grace eau de parfum takes soap and water simplicity to a new sophisticated level with a mix of water lily, leafy greens and musk for a crisp and refreshing feeling that lasts even longer."

We were cruising on a pedalo by the shore, when my dad decided we'd take a little break on the water, under the shade of a weeping willow (my favorite tree!). We were looking at the frogs and toads, then papa said that I could bend over the boat and grab a lilypad, that he'd hold my feet so I wouldn't trip overboard.

Ignore the above votes that say this reminds them of Jennifer Aniston's debut perfume. It smells NOTHING like it. Absolutely nothing. The scent by "Clean," I've never smelled but I would bet money that it smells identical to that one. But not Jennifer Aniston. Effortless simplicity in a composition of delicate blush rose balanced by clean dewy greens, neroli and bright orange flower cocooned in the warmth and sensuality of cedarwood and sunkissed musk. The ethereal rose.I think it’s very cheap because they forgot to put in any actual fragrance. Save your money for something that lasts.
