virginal
Like fresh snow
Virginal means characteristic of or befitting a virgin—pure, chaste, untouched.
A virginal appearance suggests innocence and sexual inexperience: her virginal white dress.
The word often carries connotations of freshness or unspoiled quality: virginal snow, virginal wilderness.
A virginal is also an early keyboard instrument, a small harpsichord popular in the 16th and 17th centuries.
