Perfume that smells along the lines of clean/fresh or soap.

bethany1021 — Sat, 03 Aug 2019 12:50:29 GMT

Looking for a perfume that smells very clean like soap-clean. Think IVORY bar soap or Irish Springs bar soap. I do not like the smell of sweet or gourmand perfumes which seems to be the majority these days (avoiding vanilla and coconut undernotes as they give me a migraine). I’ve tried the CLEAN line and have used a couple bottles of Shower Fresh. The smell I’m looking for is very similar to a hair product by Miss Jessie’s called Leave-In Condish which I simply adore. Suggestions????

Did you try philosophy pure grace yet ? That one smells like hand soap .the bottle said, nothing smells better than soap and water clean . Price $50 I think it’s similar to Clean brand.

@bethany1021 I agree that Philosophy's Pure Grace is a good one for clean, soap-like scents. I used that for years, and still like it.

Another one that I found that is more one-dimensional than Pure Grace (Pure Grace has a slight berry scent to it in addition to the "clean" scent) is Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume.

It is formulated from cetalox, which is synthetic ambergris (after discovering what ambergris is I am eternally grateful to the folks at Juliette.)

The scent is a soft, clean, somewhat powdery, and is hypoallergenic (no floral or essential oils to set off allergies.)

Here's a link to the travel spray, which is an inexpensive way to try it: https://www.sephora.com/product/not-perfume-travel-spray-P408989?icid2=products%20grid:p408989:product

If you love soapy scents like I do, you should check out Paper Soap by J-Scent. It's really lovely and smells like pure soap (the good ones). It's also quite long-lasting. I love the CLEAN line as well, but Paper Soap by J-Scent has been a delightful new find this summer. Very refreshing.

@bethany1021 Everyone's made great suggestions. You might want to try

for a more fresh linens type scent. I also think you might like

Ivory and Irish Springs smell totally different to me. If you want a very zingy scent like Irish Springs, try the Atelier Cologne line. They're pretty clean though they aren't as soapy as Irish Springs.
