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

Jo Malone's white jasmine and mint

Bulgari's white tea (b*gger to get hold of though, fear its being discontinued :-()

My favourite sunny weather perfumes are

Jo Malone nectarine and honey blossom -fruity but not sweet

Guerlain grapefruit aqua allegoria (sp?)

l'occitane green tea

tommy girl

The only thing that irks me about fresh-smelling fragrances is that they don't last

Yy to the hermes suggestion - Un jardin apres... There is another garden-ish one in that range that is beautiful, too - a meditarrenean one.

Any of the monotheme book of citrus (I have the limone one) and they're reduced at m&s at the minute

Another vote for Clarins Eau Dynamisante and Caudalie Fleur de vigne.

But my current favourite is Roger and Gallet Thé Vert.

Eau de Cologne 4711 is also lovely.

I always get complimented on a perfume oil that smells just like DoveGrin

L'eau de Guerlain and Après l'ondee also by Guerlain are both fresh light spring classics. calyx by Prescriptives as well.

Miss Dior- the old original version not the modern Miss Dior Cherie.
Fresh and clean smell.

applecatchers36 · 20/04/2015 20:49

Roger & Gallet eau de bienfaits , citrus fresh scent
Clarins eau de dynamisante , citrus invigorating scent
Davidoff cool water, ocean fresh scent
Caudalie zest de vigne, another citrus based scent

CalicoBlue · 20/04/2015 20:52

For summer I love Jo Malone White Jasmine and Mint, very fresh.

NotLoveActually · 20/04/2015 21:07

I adore L'Occitane Verbena, I use the shower gel, fragrance, and when I can afford it, the shampoo and conditioner. However, dh hates the lemon smell and says it's like Lemsip Grin I just tell him to shut it

hollyisalovelyname · 20/04/2015 22:14

Rituals Yin fragrance is lovely. A soft almondy scent.

DavidTennantsBeard · 20/04/2015 22:17

Calvin Klein ck one

I picked up a little bargain at the Body Shop sale last week - perfume called 'Dreams Unlimited' which is fresh florals and perfect for warmer days. Love it and was only a fiver!

LoadsaBlusher · 20/04/2015 22:39

DKNY women , in the long oblong shaped bottle is my ' fresh ' perfume
I keep it in my day to day handbag

alwaysrushing · 20/04/2015 22:40

Bobbi brown- either Beach or Bath. Both very fresh! And they last- on me anyway!

alwaysrushing · 20/04/2015 22:42

Bobbi brown Beach or Bath. Both very fresh!!

gonegrey56 · 20/04/2015 22:42

Bobbi Brown Almost Bare - my summer favourite !

yazzy85 · 20/04/2015 23:02

Thanks for all the recommendations!! I've ordered the L'Occitane The Vert and Bigerade, it sounds like just what I am looking for, plus there was a discount at feelunique.com. Look forward to it arriving and I am also going to try out the others at Boots tomorrow. Strange thing how our interest in scents can change time to time, the thought of sweet perfumes is putting me off quite a bit at the moment.

Eau Dynamisante or Issy Miyake.
