Clean smelling perfume

My favourite smell is Dove Men's Cotton Fresh deodorant. It just smells so soapy and clean. I also love the smell of fresh outdoor dried linen.
Is there any perfume that replicates these smells - I've really gone off perfume as I've aged and I'd like to find one a fresh, clean scent? Any ideas? Thanks Mumsnetters!

I used to wear Clinique happy and I remember that smelling quite fresh.

I like Vaseline deodorant the spray. That smells fresh to me.

Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin or Elizabeth Arden Green Tea.

If you were a 90s teenager, Impulse have brought back o2 body spray. I am using it to scent rooms, I love it.

Margiela- At the barbers

Diptyque Eau de minthe

Glossier You has been described as smelling like "sexy clean skin", and I'd concur with that description.

l’eau d’issey smells very clean and fresh, reminds me of cold water - weird as water doesn’t have a smell!

DkNY Be Delicious Blossom

It reminds me of old-fashioned Timotee

Impulse O2 😍 the smell of my teenage years! Where did you buy it from?

Chanel No 22 - the small bottle of parfum.

Disappointing staying power but smells more like me than me! It’s like my skin infused with my personality if that makes sense.

Clarins Eau Dynamisante. Just smells clean and fresh. I can't wear most perfume but love this.
Also watching with interest for other ideas.

BaronessBomburst · 02/07/2024 22:32

I was about to suggest L'eau d'Issey and Fenjal but was beaten to both.

blackandwhitestripes · 02/07/2024 22:37

Placemaking, I really need some new perfumes.

Dolce & Gabana light blue. Lovely and fresh

Blingismything · 02/07/2024 22:45

CK One

DKNY Women. It’s clean and fresh without being overly citrussy. It reminds me of a laundrette smell.

Housewife2010 · 02/07/2024 22:48

Penhaligon's Castile. The cleanest freshest linen and orange blossom scent.

greengreyblue · 02/07/2024 22:50

Perfume Parlour does a Dove soap perfume. Cheap as anything.
If you like Imperial Leather, M&S do a lovely sandalwood perfume. £16 with a handbag spray included.

I love this perfume. Haven’t seen or smelt it since 1998

I think Penhaligon’s Quercus smells super clean and crisp.

White Tea (Elizabeth Arden)
White Linen (Estee Lauder)
Herba Fresca (Guerlain Aqua Allergoria)
Wood Sage and Sea Salt (Jo Malone)
L'Air du Temps (Nina Ricci) - maybe more floral than you want but I think it's an incredibly comforting scent.

White Linen (EL)
