unalloyed

Without any mixture

Unalloyed means pure, without mixture or dilution.

Literally, metals are unalloyed when no other elements have been added.

The word appears most often in figurative contexts: unalloyed joy, unalloyed pleasure, unalloyed success.

It emphasizes completeness—happiness with no tinge of regret, triumph with no hint of compromise.
