What scent would you say is the closest to the scent of the traditional Dove white soap? I really love the smell and think a perfume version of it would make a great casual scent.
I believe I smell iris, lily, and even a hint of vetiver in Dove. There's something there to keep it from being a sweet iris/lily. It smells nicely rounded and yet not creamy, but more on the dry side of the spectrum (which is why I suspect some vetiver note - a very clean, stripped of all dirt vetiver).
Here are some scents that to my nose have some similarity to Dove:
Reflection Man - this is sweeter and far richer smelling than Dove. More obviously floral. Soapy in its own way but more formal, assertive and attention grabbing than Dove. While I wear it in a casual manner from time to time, I am doing so against the nature of the scent.
Infusion d'Homme - this is soapier smelling, imo. Has a number of similarities with the iris and vetiver and such, but I just don't like it. It smells too inhuman, in some regard. I just can't connect to it.
Iris Bleu Gris - more irisy and floral and earthy than Dove. Have to resniff this though as it has been awhile.
Six Scents "Wicken 3000" - has a similar white smell but this is wetter in texture and also airier/thinner. Not close enough to be a suitable replacement, imo.
Well, that's what I've smelled that is somewhat close. They all seem to feature iris or lily as prominent notes.
I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on the subject.
edit: I found a thread on Perfume of Life where some women were musing that C&E's Nantucket Briar smells quite close to Dove. Has anyone here smelled this? Do you agree?
