I'd like to find a new perfume which isn't too heavy, but smells light enough for day wear but is a fresh, clean kind of smell.

Can you recommend any?

Boots Lemon Eua De Cologne no im not kidding its abot £4 for a huge bottle that last for ages and its lovely

Flowers by Kenzo. Actually not too flowery!
I find that if there is a heavy scent that i quite like, the body lotion tends to be lighter!

sorry for the spelling typing fast

Green tea by l'occtaince (sorry for spelling)

You're telling me you're typing fast! Wow, thanks for your quick responses.

I'll investigate the Boots one, although I'm not overly keen on citrusy scents, more like, sort of clean washing kind of smells (i'm a domestic saddo!).

Good tip about the lotion, thanks.

Clarins Eau Jardins - lovely.

Marc Jacobs Daisy

Giorgio Armani - Acqua di Giaio (or some other crazy combo of vowels)

both gorgeous - sigh

I love Bvlgari pour femme, perfect for daytime IMHO

Apparently it "opens with fresh and crystalline top notes. It develops around a flowered middle note where the flavour of sambac jasmine tea mixes into delicately sensual aromas, such as mimosa of grasse. Prelude rose underlines the perfume's timeless character, and delicately fades into a powdery, sensual note of musk."

They don't mention it but, on me at least, there's a very pleasant soft violet note at the beginning to middle too.

Aqua Allegoria in Herba Fresca is lovely, light and minty.

(Guerlain)

I love dolce and gabbana, light blue. Wearing it years and still not tired of it. Very fresh and clean and happy..no citrus smell I promise

spiritmum · 25/08/2010 20:02

A Scent by Issey Miyake.

Bishoplyn · 25/08/2010 20:10

Baby Grace by Philosphy or B-Spot from Benefit

Chunkamatic · 25/08/2010 20:15

Try Eau du Merveilles by Hermes. Tis my fave scent and I think it has a very clean smell.

Scuttlebutter · 25/08/2010 23:49

There was another thread on this a little while ago. I'd suggest Cristalle by Chanel, Amazing Grace by Philosophy, Green Tea, O de Lancome.

JaynieB · 25/08/2010 23:52

Another vote for A Scent - it's light, fresh, very green and a bit unusual.

batsforlashes · 26/08/2010 08:06

Aqua Di Parma- citrusy, fresh, cologne-y - love it for day time.

BikeRunSki · 26/08/2010 08:07

Clinique - Happy

spikemomma · 26/08/2010 22:31

Thanks for all of your responses, i'm going to check all of these out and then choose one. Thanks for taking he time to respond.

Another vote for philosophy, any of their fragrances. all lovely.

Summerdreamer · 29/08/2010 10:42

Jo Malone Nutmeg and Ginger is a lovely light fresh fragrance. Sounds more spicy than it actually is.
