Hello.

I have worn Chloe before and liked it. I wonder if anyone had any recommendations for other clean, ‘soapy’ smelling fragrances I could check out?

Thank you.

Prada Infusion d'Iris is the best 'soapy' fragrance. It's beautiful

Haffiana · 27/06/2020 10:43

Penhaligons Castille is pure soap

@Haffiana

Penhaligons Castille is pure soap
I thought I’d heard this before but then I read the description on the Penhaligon website and the reviews on Fragrantica and they didn’t mention soap.

Something with coriander notes might be soapy.

PeterPomegranate · 27/06/2020 12:03

@Haffiana - ignore me, I have just revisited Fragrantica Penhaligon Castile page and there are many mentions of soap!

I’ve just tried this in a local chemist and it is nice but reminds me of Parma violets?

Not sure if you would find it soapy but Gucci Memoire is a very clean fresh smell.

Pure Grace by Philosophy is amazing.

The Dove one is ok but very strong. DH hates it, gives him a headache so I’ve stopped wearing it.

Clean Reserve do one called Warm Cotton which smells just like clean washing so not ‘soapy’ but very fresh.

Paul Smith extreme smells soapy to me.

CadburysTastesVileNow · 27/06/2020 15:51

The grapefruit one from Jo Malone

I second JLO Glow, it's only £12 on Fragrance Direct and I love it!

TheSpottedZebra · 27/06/2020 16:40

Came here to say JLo Glow. Do try it.

Most of the Aqua di Parma range are soapy smelling.

SunStruck · 27/06/2020 17:41

There is literally a perfume called Clean which is inspired by soap 😄

Clean, ‘soapy’ smelling fragrance recommendations please?

D&G light blue

Stellakent · 27/06/2020 21:28

Philosophy Amazing Grace
Pravda Femme.

PeterPomegranate · 28/06/2020 09:55

I have taken a chance on Penhaligon’s Castile as it was half price in the summer sale. Fingers crossed.

And I have ordered a sample of Mémoire d'une Odeur because I thought it sounded intriguing. Can’t imagine a chamomile based perfume. Reviews seem divisive!

Thank you everyone.

Sorry, that’s Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur.
