Pure Grace .....

ItsME — Mon, 22 May 2017 13:38:54 GMT

I can't wear most fragrances (migraines and asthma...), but I do test them on occasion. I was in Ulta on Saturday and spritzed some Pure Grace on my left wrist. Two spritzes, which was too much, but no migraines or asthma.

It's now more than 40 hours later. I've taken two long walks, swam a half mile in a chlorinated pool, and showered. I can still smell this on my wrist! I'm really impressed with the lasting power of this fragrance!

I love Destiny by Marilyn Miglin. It's all white flowers and doesn't cause headaches. It's a good fragrance to wear to church, hospitals, etc. because it also won't affect other people if they have allergies.

@ItsME It is nice to read that you are liking Pure Grace. It is a staple for me as I also have asthma and get migraines from strong fragrances.

So much of how a fragrance lasts depends on body chemistry.

Pure Grace (in fact, all of the philosophy scents that I wear), lasts on me. I can't say that it still stays for as long as you have experienced, but it does last morning till night for me. I see posts on these forums from people who feel there is no staying power with philosophy scents, and I am sure that is true for them. I guess I am lucky that the scents that I love, love me back.

Love PG, but have been playing with the Clean fragrances which are divine! No headaches and lasting power to boot.

I just bought Pure Grace for my daughters birthday, and she loves it, and she is a person that loves fragrance......But she said once in a while you need to have a nice clean, pure fragrance that isn't so strong, but smells divine!!!!!!I got her the kit with the spray, the body satin spray and the body butter! I love Pure Grace too! It is perfect for summer.

@henderson I bought that in the late 90s. I remember receiving a compliment on it, but it was a little to strong for me. Glad it works for you!

@FlyersGirl ... I like that it's lasted. can still smell it faintly... 48 hours later, with all the activity in between!

Do you have a favorite in the Philosophy line?

@pommom ... which of the Clean fragrances do you like?

I LOVE LOVE Pure Grace! Smells clean and pure like those fancy soaps shaped like shells. If you want a treat Brochato Cloud 9 shampoo and conditioner smells like Pure Grace but softer.

What I love about Pure Grace is it i light enough that noone at work complains that your Perfume is too strong. I do not want to be that girl with the overpoering perfume.

Clean Ultimate is a dupe for Pure Grace.

Sorry it's taken so long to answer your question.

Gee, that's a hard question to answer. I really like them all. I especially like the 'Skin' and a runner up is 'Air'. Not a bad one in the bunch.

I also have asthma, and I have to be very selective on any fragrance in any product. I used to love Pure Grace and Amazing Grace, but I don't anymore. I am not sure what happened to the fragrances or to me. I switched to Falling in Love and liked that, but I keep reading and hearing about how Philosophy fragrances have changed that I am not sure I want to take a chance and order online. I haven't been able to find it in a store recently to test it.

I have been wearing pure grace for 10 years or more I think. I also like Falling In Love and Unconditinal Love...Pure Grace, though, is my favorite. I haven't noticed a huge difference in the staying power as others mention but as someone said our chemistry is different.

My husband uses my spritz and I love smelling it on him I also get migraines sometimes and it never bothers me--I love smelling it on my clothes when I put something on I wore earlier. I have also gotten compliments on Pure Grace numerous times. One time a client at the mental health center I work at told me "you smell like heaven." I won't forget that!

I've worn Pure Grace for years and years. I always received compliments on it and loved smelling it.

Once the company was sold to Coty, the fragrance changed and so did the product. Now, I can't use the body wash as it causes a skin rash for me.

The fragrance in the wash and lotion smell gross. Not like my Pure Grace of old.

Now, unfortunately, I only wear the parfum.

That's pretty impressive. I have never had a fragrance last through all that. Pure Grace is a very clean scent like soap & water clean. It's nice when you just want to smell FRESH!

PG was a classic before THE CHANGE. Boo Hiss...not fair to us customers. Don't support them. Buy some other "clean" frag. The import Irish frag. is beautiful.

Sure it was Philosophy PG? Many of us have had difficulty with Philosophy having no fragrance, much less lasting. You may have found a unique bottle.
