Decades after Elvis Presley died, Linda Thompson still has vivid memories of the late King of Rock and Roll.
Presley dated several women after his split from Priscilla Presley, and he shared one of his longest relationships with Linda Thompson and started seeing her from 1972 to 1976.
To mark Elvis Week this year, she spoke in front of his fans and shared once-unknown details about the late singer - including his smell.
What Elvis Presley Smelt Like Revealed
Thompson recalled her intimate moments with the "Can't Help Falling in Love" singer in front of his fans during the Elvis Week 2023. As shared by Express UK, the 73-year-old spoke about what Presley smelt like and how his kiss felt like.
She particularly named the soap's brand that exactly smelt like the late singer: Neutrogena.
"He smelled of Neutrogena soap. He only used the original Neutrogena soap," she said. "So he always had that essence of that clean, fresh smell of Neutrogena soap. Their sales are gonna go up aren't they? You're welcome Neutrogena!"
Thompson also revealed that Presley's lips were like two big fluffy marshmallows and that kissing him was like kissing those sweets because the singer reportedly had the softest and sweetest lips.
Presley's ex also shared that the singer always had good breath, making him everyone's ideal man.

His Costar Shared the Same
Thompson's recollection mirrored what Irene Tsu wrote in her 2020 memoir, "A Water Color Dream: The Many Lives of Irene Tsu."
The Chinese actress, who became one of Presley's costars, reminisced about the time she fell asleep after a tough day of shooting. She reportedly woke up with the singer in front of her, applying a cold compress on her forehead as he thought she was sick.
Aside from being starstruck with his visuals, Tsu was also caught off-guard by his smell.
"When I came to, I smelled a strong scent of baby powder and milk," she shared. "For an instant, I thought I was hallucinating. No words came to my lips, but I think I did manage somewhat of a smile. When in doubt, smile. That's my motto."
Presley died on August 16, 1977, hours after he was found unconscious in Graceland's bathroom.
