Not strong, just fresh, clean and subtle.

Have you found this at all, can you recommend?

Thanks x

Rive gauche is quite soapy smelling but possibly a bit heavy (and old fashioned).

Okay, oh perfume overlord 😂

No. 5 (on my skin at least, and I know all skin is different) dries down to a pure powder scent.

I wouldn't consider it to be heavy - it's generally considered to be a medium-sillage scent, not heady or overpowering.

But things smell different on different folks.

My first thought was Chanel no 5 too

Thanks everyone, I’ll have a look at them all xx

This!

I bought this perfume because I wanted a soft, clean smell and this is always recommended.

It smelled like cheap perfume on me. I ended up throwing it out in the end.

I'm another one who immediately thought of Chanel No 5. Also Jil Sander Sun smells very powdery to me.

ObviouslyHeGetsFed · 06/10/2022 17:51

GLOW by JLo used to smell liked baby powder. Fresh and clean. Not seen it in years but apparently its still for sale on amazon.

Arabian Opulence perfumed oil
Inspired by Baby Powder - Amazon about £6

Get loads of compliments wearing it, lasts for ages

Lancome La Nuit Tresor Musc Diamant always reminds me of baby powder.

Sparkletastic · 06/10/2022 18:08

Chanel No 5 is totally powdery.

KingOfWishfulThinkin · 06/10/2022 18:10

Sorry to jump on but does anyone know of a perfume that has a fresh cucumbery smell?!

Why not use baby powder or soap and water?

Well, a little imagination and you'd realise that neither of those scents last longer than 5 minutes. Hmm

PAFMO · 06/10/2022 18:12

If you want clean and soapy, then you need to look for Iris notes.
Prada Infusions d'Iris is my go to comfort soapy perfume.
Philosophy Amazing Grace and Cacharel Noa have the same.

FayeGovan · 06/10/2022 18:13

Crabtree & evelyn goatsmilk smells exactly as you described @ColinRobinsonsfamiliar

Ytterbium · 06/10/2022 18:25

Bvlgari Petits Et Mamans

mrsjimhopper · 06/10/2022 18:28

Cerruti 1881 I think is powdery lovely and cheap perfume I wear everyday for work.

Also chanel allure is powdery too but got for the EDT

CbCV · 06/10/2022 18:29

One if my favourites used to be 'Clean' from Sephora.

Wonder if you can still get it.

MasterPretender · 06/10/2022 18:29

I second Noa by Cacharel

HairyMcLarie · 06/10/2022 18:34

Another for 'Clean'. They have the classic that smells exactly like soap. 'Shower fresh' and 'clean linen' if I remember rightly.

Chanel No 5

Hi OP, perfume parlour (although I heard a rumour they had closed) have baby powder and dove soap these are two of my absolute faves so we have similar taste in smells it seems.

Re cucumber, Jo Malone earl grey and cucumber is divine. Perfume parlour do a dupe.
