Clean smelling perfume

96 replies

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!

Placemarking! Lots of these sound lovely!

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

Was that In The green can? I used to love that

I'd say JLo Glow - smells wholesome, a bit like atrixo hand cream!

Another vote for D&G Light Blue

Im looking for something clean smelling too, not floral at all.

The ‘cleanest’ smelling perfumes I’ve ever used have been D&G Light Blue and DKNY Be Delicious.

Carins Eau Ressourcante (blue bottle) smells like clean air dried laundry

That is divine. I smelled it at an airport and keep meaning to get some.

The blue bottle?

Joyfulincolour · 31/08/2024 16:32

Some great suggestions here.
I'm looking for a clean/linen smell that's a body spray so I can use it when at work.

I bought the D&G light blue and it is absolutely gorgeous!! But it doesn’t seem to last any length on me so I’m going to try a few more on this thread now. Thanks again.

I often have a glance at the D&G Light Blue when I'm in Savers, but thought it was something out of fashion from the early 2000s when I was at my old work and a very cool lady used to wear it, so I bought myself some and loved it. I am going to buy some on my Savers run on Friday!

M&S sandalwood is divine. Reminds me of Imperial leather soap.

Grabyourpassportandmyhand · 11/09/2024 16:32

You have described exactly the smells I like too.

Don't bother with Pure Grace or D&G Light Blue or Jo Malone - they won't be the smells you are looking for....

3luckystars · 11/09/2024 18:07

What would you recommend?

caringcarer · 11/09/2024 18:11

I like Cool Water for daytime use.

StoatofDisarray · 11/09/2024 18:36

Hermes Eau des Merveilles smells like sun-warmed skin on a cold sandy beach.

HollyNightingale · 11/09/2024 18:48

I like Shay & Blue Cotton Flower and Philosophy Amazing Grace.

Dior eau savage. It's a men's aftershave but it smells delicious. All clean and citrusy

Luckingfovely · 11/09/2024 19:20

Just here to also recommend the Clean brand - they are all gorgeous, unusual, and several smell very 'clean'.

Just had a sample of this, which dries down on me to Imperial Leather: https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Milano-Fragranze/Piazza-Affari-74873.html
