“This perfume smells like a mother's love. It's not sexy nor seductive, and the name "pure" is very fitting because this smells like the purest person you know who makes everyone feel loved and safe. It's a soft and fluffy cocoon of white flowers. I love wearing it in winter for the extra comfort and cocooning it provides.”
“Absolutely beautiful and gorgeous, but there is something about it that makes it smell like the total opposite of sexy to my nose. The drydown is definitely very similar to Jasmin Noir Bvlgari.The elixir version however is extremely sexy but so hard to find these days.”
“It can only be enjoyed by those who can tolerate perfumes that are very heavy on florals. This scent chokes me. It's weird because it really is light, but it's also choky. Probably because the flowers are too strong. I really like the dry down though, it's creamy and animalistic and I get some sandalwood from it. But even this part is not worth waiting through the first part that lasts longest for me.”

Sillage
The clone performs well in the first 4-5 hours but shows noticeably shorter longevity and reduced sillage compared to the original. The base drydown on Pure Instinct leans slightly sweeter and less woody, missing some of the cedar's structural definition that anchors Dior's composition.

Sillage
The clone performs well in the top and heart notes but the base lacks the refined complexity of Dior's white amber accord, resulting in slightly shorter longevity and less nuanced dry-down. Sillage is comparable, but the overall depth and sophistication favor the original.
