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?

I'm wearing Calvin Klein Beauty and it smells lovely and soapy to me.

My perfumista pal turned her nose up when I bought it, calling it trashyShock but I love it!

Beautifullymixed · 13/07/2018 16:31

Olli wow!
That set looks fab!
I spent ages looking at your last link, dithering over which to choose, as I love the idea of smelling soapy fresh all summer.
I couldn't decide though, even after reading the reviews, so this set is a treat to myself.
Can't wait to try them!

EmmaK2 is that the same smell as the dry oil because I find that tropical honey luxury warm type smell?

BlameItOnTheNeon · 14/07/2018 18:46

Clarins Eau Ressourcante is amazing, very clean and not citrussy, I love it :)

SyrilSneer · 14/07/2018 18:57

Glossier You or Clean Reserve Rain

Horsemad · 14/07/2018 18:58

@Alicatz66 - I totally agree! Smile

where would I buy Jlo glow?

saganorenscarandcoat · 15/07/2018 19:07

Without a doubt J lo Glow

3DSpex · 15/07/2018 21:21

Glow and Philosphy Pure Grace or Amazing Grace are good shouts.

Worth having a sniff of the CLEAN range. I have Clean Laundry and Clean Shower Fresh. Both are overpoweringly synthetic at first, but have much more gentle dry downs.

Perfume Parlour do a perfume dupe of both Dove and Nivea soap if you want truly ‘clean’.

I also have an Arabian perfume which is available in the UK online called Noora by Al-Haramain. Smells like fabric conditioner or shampoo to me. Have to be in the mood for it, but it’s pretty good. I think you can get a sample from Notion...

3DSpex · 15/07/2018 21:22

Notion = Notino

anametouse · 15/07/2018 23:11

library of fragrance (stocked in boots) has a good range. I used to wear Grass which was crisp

princesstiasmum · 15/07/2018 23:23

I like Eternity i think it smells soapy scented

MiniMimi00 · 16/07/2018 20:07

I buy J-Lo Glow from Boots, but it is available in most discount shops, B&M or Home Bargains for example for about £6/£8.
It is the one scent that I am asked about when I wear it.

Diorissimo1985 · 17/07/2018 22:50

Thanks everyone!

I was going to say Eternity too. Clarins worth a look, I like to use their scented shower gels in the summer. The fragrance remains surprisingly well.

spotspot · 17/07/2018 22:57

Two perfumes by Bobbi Brown fIt the bill here; Bobbi and Bath... they're both lovely. Actually, Bobbi Bare is quite clean smelling too although more powdery floral than soapy.

Clinicallysilly · 18/07/2018 08:01

Nenuco cologne is that clean, lemony, soapy smell nearly all Spaniards smell of. I'm hooked on it, I get my Spanish friend to buy me a bottle every time she goes home.

'Or perfume parlour dove soap'

Can I ask you, have you tried the rollerball and the spray perfume, which would you recommend? Thank you

MsJacksonIfUrNasty · 18/07/2018 08:45

Freyana - Ive got the rollerball of the PP Dove soap. Its very strong. Couple of 'rolls' and it lasts all day.

Freyanna · 18/07/2018 09:16
