Is there anything close to philosophy's pure grace scent?

I really love philosophy but, the scent seems to be weaker than it used to be

I would love to find something close to it so it would stay on longer.

Demeter Fresh and Clean. Great at first, but fades away quickly.

I think Clean Ultimate smells a lot like it and lasts longer.

Nothing compares to Philosophy's original fragrances in my opinion. The Clean line smells like laundry detergent.

I agree with Gendarme. It was introduced before Pure Grace...I think they stole the scent, which was unique when introduced.

This stuff reminds me of Pure Grace. I smelled it when I was at Rite Aid.

Have those of you mentioning Gendarme actually smelled it? I'm eyeing the sample vial pack for $9.99. They all sound wonderful, and a version of PG that lasts would be heaven.

Yes, I have a little vial in my makeup drawer (I don't wear fragrance very often anymore) and I just smelled it and it smelled very nice and very similar to Pure Grace.

Some people also like Pittsburgh Street Soapworks, but I've never smelled that one so I don't know if it's true to scent.

Edited to add: my fragrance is Carriere by Gendarme

I usually get my perfumes from fragrancenet.com. Gendarme's Carriere is $52.15 for 4 oz with the 20% off site coupon, $44.95 unboxed w/coupon. Shipping is usually $6-$7, and you can opt to use the free ship code but it can't be combined with other coupons {#emotions_dlg.sad}.But I have had good luck with them and great delivery. Just ordered some things on Wednesday and will get them tomorrow!

Thanks for the info luvstobake! I may try this Carriere! Clean's ULTIMATE does smell just like Pure Grace (the regular CLEAN I don't like, smells chemically to my nose).

I just saw the Skin Below the Chin at Rite Aid, Mistri. I'll check that one out too! Hope you're doing well, girlKiss!
