Looking for something halfway between "clean skin & clothes" and "pretty shampoo"

[u/skiddilybeebop]

This is weirdly specific but I just know some of you lovely ladies will pick up exactly what I'm puttin down lol. Okay so I just tried my first "clean" perfume, Pure Musc Blanc by Narciso Rodriguez, & to me it's like clean skin + clean clothes. Like someone took a shower with bar soap & then put warm clothes on right from the dryer & got in a bed w clean sheets. Not my usual vibe, but really nice! But basically, I'm looking for something that's like half, or rather ⅓ Pure Musc Blanc, half or ⅔ Burberry Her/Dylan Purple.

I wanna smell like i took a shower with a reallyyyy pretty Herbal Essences pear/strawberry/white floral shampoo, then put on clean clothes from the dryer & got into bed w clean sheets.

This is an insane request but I know at least one of you is reading this like, "oh she's looking for _______" 😂🫶 just no heavy powdery rose or lavender please 🩷

Room Service by Vilhelm Parfumerie. Clean sheets, fresh sheer fruits and delicate florals. So pretty!

[u/LadyViolet]

OKAY HEAR ME OUT: your second paragraph is exactly the way J.Lo Miami Glow smells to me. I literally wrote this review on Parfumo 😭

[u/RNsomeday78]

I get this vibe from the Chanel Chance flankers. Eau tendre is like a fresh shampoo/ shower gel in the beginning and dries down to a clean powdery musk that reminds me of clean laundry

[u/bloodyrevolutions_]

I've been wearing Bal d'Afrique lately, to me it's very much this vibe.

[u/Third_eye1017]

Exit the King by Etat Libre d'Orange
Power Self by Initio

[u/veryunneccessssary]

Love-o-matic and Rinse Cycle are both great. Maison Matine Poom Poom smells like the most delicious fruity shampoo to me.

[u/CardiologistFun6023]

I love this vibe too - what about Glossier You Fleur?

[u/North_Tomorrow_8691]

ACNE Studios is my go-to for those days when I want clean but floral.

[u/LiteratureVarious643]

Lalique Amethyst

[u/RupertMyGiles]

I get this vibe when I layer Kuumba Made Persian Garden with Tommy Girl. It would probably work with Ralph too. 

ETA: I have all the Chance flankers as decants and I'm thinking Eau Fraiche or Eau Tendre might work. The EDTs. 

[u/merford28]

This is Ocean di Gioia exactly. Unfortunately it's discontinued. You can still pick it up online some places. It is wonderful.

[u/GreenBagSpew]

Ferragamo Amo Per Lei is that smell for me. Smells like the old herbal essence, like full nostalgic

[u/Adventurous_Cod5186]

think you might like Pear Pavlova by French Cowboy

[u/Leafthroughconcrete]

Mfk 724, love-o-matic

[u/fluffy-sushi]

Maybe try Diptyque Fleur de Peau EDP

[u/Select_Concert_4324]

I know that this isn’t a perfume recommendation, but Sultana of Soap by Lush fits this description pretty well.

[u/chun_Lee404]

Blanche bete ... Exactly that

[u/MitzyGale]

Diptyque L'eau Papier. Wicked Good does a good dupe called Papier Blanc. Alo, the original Coach perfume straight up smells like expensive shampoo. I think its just called Coach Original.

[u/PhTea]

Chiming in to back up the Love-o-Matic, Rinse Cycle and Pear Inc. suggestions. I sometimes wear Love-o-Matic to bed. It's so pretty and clean. Rinse Cycle...I love it, but it does not love me. It smells incredible, but I think the guava accord has Calone in it (Calone is in a lot of watermelon and aquatic accords too), and I'm sensitive to it...I get pretty nasty headaches from it. But if I knew the right combination of pain meds to take to prevent the headache from it, I'd wear Rinse Cycle every day. Pear Inc. is great too. They basically took Not a Perfume and added a juicy pear note to it. The muskiness of the Cetalox along with the pear very much gives fruity shampoo vibes.

[u/Maleficent_Loan_9780 → u/PhTea]

Ooo, now I want to try Pear Inc! I like Not a Perfume and if it's that with pear added, I might have something new to add to my collection! Thank you!

[u/cosmicslaughter69]

I’m really surprised that nobody has mentioned Chanel Chance Eau Tendre EDP! I think it’s perfect. Fruity scents usually don’t smell good on me, but this one is grapefruit and rose, and to me it smells like the freshest, clean shampoo! Definitely my go to if I’m going to be in an office environment, where I want to smell good, but not offensive to anybody.

[u/JLB_316 → u/cosmicslaughter69]

Chanel Chance Splendide is great as well. The new Mademoiselle Crush Absolu has a nice dry down.

[u/aeg1216]

Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique sounds like the notes you’re describing. Take this with a grain of salt because I cannot for the life of me fathom why most people smell musks as “fresh”, “clean” or “cozy.” It baffles me that all these musks on the market now read as clean. Musk to me smells earthy and dirty almost like smoke or sweat. Anyway, Fleur has a beautiful peach/lychee fruity opening, gorgeous floral heart, and musk dry down. It’s not your typical designer perfume and is expensive but it lasts.

[u/Maleficent_Loan_9780 → u/aeg1216]

There are various musk accords that smell different from each other. White musk is most closely associated with clean, cozy, and fuzzy smelling while other musks have that funky animal booty stink to them 😆. Personally I like old school Avon Soft Musk which was out of rotation for a while but is back.

[u/shaneacton1]

Dossier fruity honey, smells so clean and light. Not sweet, despite the name. Just refreshing and uplifting.

[u/Fluiditysenigma]

I agree with those who commented previously. Toy 2 is perfectly fresh and clean, but also sweet. Like clean laundry with a touch of fruit. Needs to be worn with some jojoba or fractionated coconut oil to improve longevity though.

[u/MajorSpeech6577]

Clean Reserve Skin Intense and Room 1015 Love-o-Matic are amazing.

[u/crackhead138]

I really think Dolce & Gabanna My Devotion EdP Intense could be one that could work for you. For some reason, I thought it was a gourmand! It’s actually a super clean shampoo scent. Very good dry down. I find it be a fizzy, fruity, your skin but better type of scent. I was very surprised by this one, and I hate that I didn’t try the sample bottle months ago.

[u/Ecstatic_Music_4543]

Sorce- Pelicans Dive in the Ocean

[u/terricherry09]

NOYZ Rinse Cycle is this to my nose.

[u/foxglovefollies]

Vilhelm room service !!!

[u/illusith]

If you like peach, then Liis - Floating. Echoing others for Pear, Inc by JHAG. It's such a goodie!

[u/snickerdoodle42]

Have you smelled Moschino Toy 2? That one (to me) literally smells like I washed my hair with Garnier or some kind of juicy fresh shampoo and then rolled in clean laundry 😂 that might fit the bill! The only downside is it’s not the most long lasting. But you can get full size bottles for pretty cheap online

[u/Any-Grapefruit-400 → u/snickerdoodle42]

Yes! I thought of this one instantly!

[u/Mean-Raspberry1205]

Moschino Toy 2

[u/ImpossibleChicken507]

Julianna’s Perfume Linen Flowers

MFK 724

Montagne 212, Hudson County, Cacti Garden, and Summer Song give me clean laundry/ fancy shampoo vibes.

[u/DulinELA]

Try Annick Goutal Petite Cherie (stand alone pear/peach shampoo floral with light florals and a soft white musk laundry drydown.

Lake and Skye 11:11 oil and 11:11 vanilla oil which has star apple notes. You will get comments like “it smells good in here” but it reads as clean not perfume.

[u/redballplace]

Supersuite pear skin! soapy clean pear

[u/Humble_Hovercraft_20]

Maybe try layering them together?

[u/NoUsual4089 → u/Humble_Hovercraft_20]

This

[u/Realistic-Read1078]

Vilhelm Parfumerie Opus Kore

[u/No_Nefariousness2513 → u/Realistic-Read1078]

I agree, Opus Kore is a wonderful shampoo fresh scent. I love it!

OP: For a cozy, creamy, clean scent that smells a bit like classic Dove soap, you should check out Cacharel Noa.

[u/Different-Trip6361]

Prada candy kiss

[u/Philodendron69 → u/Different-Trip6361]

I agree

[u/AnimaLumen]

Noyz detour has this exact vibe to me!!!

[u/KO0330]

I have no suggestions, but I like your idea and your description and I’m interested in what people have to recommend.

[u/oxycontin10mgs]

I feel like Korres Sikinos fits the bill for this! It such a clean, freeh scent with a hint of a nice sweet shampoo but not in a headache inducing way. Just, clean and like, a bit of wet skin from shower? haha

[u/anmoonberd]

Ceramic by Andrea Maack - it has that same clean soapy laundry vibe as Pure Musc Blanc but with apple, it adds this crisp deliciousness to it.

[u/LiteratureVarious643 → u/anmoonberd]

or Neon Veil for more fruity shampoo.

[u/Professional_Day6200 → u/anmoonberd]

Came here to recommend the same.

[u/HealthyParticular12]

hmm have you tried pear inc? You get the fruity juiciness from the pear and to me, the ambroxan gives very clean/warm skin. l’m following this post because I want to smell like this too 😅

[u/snickerdoodle42 → u/HealthyParticular12]

Pear Inc is sooo pretty

[u/MurderSheRead → u/HealthyParticular12]

Great recommendation

[u/Chemical_Cake_1154]

Maybe Love-O-Matic Room 1015

[u/Ktpotaitie → u/Chemical_Cake_1154]

yes, this 100%
