Ultra clean / soapy smelling perfume suggestions

Must be the heat but I am craving a really clean smelling, soap-like perfume but not too powdery ... if that makes sense?! Any suggestions?

Not citrus, I should have added! Just clean smelling...

I like those types of scents too, sorry no suggestions though!

Philosophy Pure Grace.

From the Boots website: "for women who want to smell soap and water clean, as if they just stepped out of the shower, we give you pure grace. this infinitely clean fragrance plays on pure soap and water notes that created the purest, cleanest scent imaginable."

ckOne is clean smelling but citrussy. I was wearing L'Air du Temps a few nights ago and was thinking it smells pretty clean in thid temoerature. A classicthat's pretty cheap as well, that's a win as far as I'm concerned.

J-lo glow! Cheap as chips and is lovely for that fresh m, soapy scent!

Licencedtodrill · 12/07/2018 20:45

I second J Lo- glow, soapy is exactly how I'd describe it.

Also, I like Coty's L'aimant, which is a Chanel no 5 dupe. This is also really cheap, but doesn't smell cheap!

Ollivander84 · 12/07/2018 20:47

Any of the clean perfumes!

Or perfume parlour dove soap

Mollecule 02...you can’t smell it on yourself but on others it is just fresh and clean. It’s magic stuff! Make sure you get 02 though, the others aren’t the same.

Beautifullymixed · 12/07/2018 20:59

Olli which of those clean perfumes would you recommend?
They all sound amazing!

misiabella · 12/07/2018 21:00

Jovan White Musk cheap and it gives perfect out of shower/soap/clean skin scent.

Issy miyake. Pure

Hugo Boss Ma Vie is also soapy, but this one is more of a creamy, fluffy, sweet soap - like those 'luxurious' soaps from 90s . It also smells a bit like Naomagic (if anyone remembers this one).

Ollivander84 · 12/07/2018 21:33

Beautifully - I have a few!
Fragrantica describes them better so probably best to have a click through and then google to find a stockist, TK Maxx often has them in. They have ratings on here too

I like cotton t shirt, summer sailing and outdoor shower fresh

DeltaG · 12/07/2018 21:39

Guerlain Shalimar. I find it a really clean, calm scent. Definite soapy notes. Iconic classic too. Not cheap though.

Griefbacon · 12/07/2018 21:58

May I recommendDirty by Lush? Minty loveliness- so fresh and clean

Diorissimo1985 · 12/07/2018 22:04

Ooh some lovely suggestions, thank you! I will start looking at these on Frangrantica.

countfosco my grandma used to wear l'air du temps... so nice and nostalgic Smile might have to get some just for that reason! Thanks for reminding me

I greyed L’air dubtenps as mum wwears it but smells horrid on me

hmmwhatatodo · 13/07/2018 00:00

Blanche by Byredo.

Horsemad · 13/07/2018 06:52

Amarige by Givenchy always smells soapy to me. I love it.

I also like O de Lancôme for summer but that is citrussy.

MiniMimi00 · 13/07/2018 07:00

J-lo Glow here. Smells like you've just walked out of a shower, soapy, fresh and clean!

AesopsMables · 13/07/2018 10:40

I second Blanche by Bryedo
Very clean smell
