Any recommendations for a fresh/clean smelling perfume? I mostly wear sweet smells but wanted a change for summer.

Clarinet Eau Dynamisante.

Clarins, obv!

Try 'untitled' from Maison Martin Margiela (sp?!) or Juniper Sling or Quercus from Penhaligons

Clinique Happy
Acqua di Gio
Davidoff Blue Water
Cerruti 1880
Chanel Chance (orange bottle)

None last very well though.

I tend to go for Chanel 19 as my summer staple.

Clarins Eau de Jardin

Caudalie Fleur de vigne or The de Vigne

Another vote for Clarins Eau Dynamisante here.

Dolce & Gabbana 'Light Blue'.

(Don't love it, myself, but it is a v v popular 'light and fresh' choice.)

There are some nice ones in The Fragrance Library at Boots, I've got two, Grass and Clean Laundry, they were on offer last week, £15 each or 2 for £25. They aren't the longest lasting but a lovely range of individual fragrances.

I tried a new (to me anyway) Marc Jacobs on Saturday, sorbet or something it was called and thought it was lovely & summery but not as sickly as the name would suggest

Gatekeeper · 20/04/2015 09:03

Caudalie 'Zeste de Vigne'

Judydreamsofhorses · 20/04/2015 09:48

Diptyque Philosykos is lovely in summer.

iwantgin · 20/04/2015 11:05

I have some Calvin Klein Eternity. Not something I would have chosen for myself, it was a gift. However it is very light, and 'fresh'. DH says I smell 'green' ?

Also second Clinique Happy.

pickles184 · 20/04/2015 11:09

Marc Jacobs Daisy is lovely, long lasting and a bright, clean fragrance.

sleepwhenidie · 20/04/2015 11:10

I like Chanel Cristalle for summer.

bigfatfeet · 20/04/2015 11:13

Second Chanel Cristalle, although it really doesn't last on me, also the various Philosophy "Grace" perfumes.

patterkiller · 20/04/2015 11:15

Marc Jacobs daisy is lovely. Actually there are a few of his that are lovely and fresh.

cuntyMcCunterson · 20/04/2015 12:28

Marc Jacobs daisy eau so fresh is a lovely fesh and clean scent. I love it for everyday but wear something heavier for a night out

Petal02 · 20/04/2015 12:34

Dolce and Gabanna 'Light Blue.' It's been my summer fragrance for nearly a decade, nothing else comes close.

SunshineAndShadows · 20/04/2015 12:35

Another vote for Davidoff cool water

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria in Herba Fresca.
Serge Lutens L'Eau

I don't know about Fragrance Library not being long lasting, I tried Vanilla Ice=cream in the morning, hated it and it was still on my wrist in the evening.

Goodness knows how many times I'd washed my hands too.

Having said that, some of those fragrances are quite nice. Loved Jasmine and Clean Laundry.

After the rain by Arran Aromatics if there is a budget consideration. EDT only available, not found an EDP.
