Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Soft Water lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Gentle Fluidity Gold.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gentle Fluidity Gold's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 69% less than Gentle Fluidity Gold — the 5th cheapest of 8 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
