Classic Cool Cotton

This is a type of clean scent that is bright and chilly, like stepping out of the shower on a sunny, spring day. It is brazenly acidic, unapologetically soapy, and absolutely refreshing. The best thing have been learning, as I make my way down this line, is they deliver exactly what their name suggests. This is critical for blind buying, and acknowledges the customer deserves some basic respect in determining olfactory identification. Unlike some that think you won't know the difference. Take Pure Honey, which smelled like everything but pure honey! They have claimed Cool Cotton, and that is exactly what you will get. Where as Clean Laundry had slightly warm, fuzzy chords, Cool Cotton jumps out with sharp citrus. One is cozy, and one is refreshing. I don't think I will go further with my analysis, because that would be like critiquing laundry detergent. I will say this one last thing. Dry down lingers with this herbaceous brightness that reminds me strongly of Bath and Body Works, discontinued and now deemed vintage, body spray titled Lemon Basil. Which I can no longer find. So bonus! That verdant characteristic has extremely respectable longevity for a Eau Fraiche, which also amps up my affection for it.

Guilty pleasure... I kinda love this stuff! Perfect for summertime, when I myself don't necessarily have a signature scent, but like to experiment with different fresh fragrances outside of my usual warm/spicy preferences. I get the zingy citrus and clean cotton up front, followed by the gentle musk drydown, and it's really nice! I must be one of the lucky one's who's body chem mixes well with the product, because it lasts a good 8 hours on my skin and longer on my clothes. I love wearing this with a crisp white tee that smells like my laundry detergent.. Putting it to good use this summer, cuz who doesn't wanna smell fresh & clean on a scorching hot day? Very pleasant stuff for the warm season.

Surprised how much I like this! There is a distinct dryer sheet/laundromat smell with something metallic and fresh right in the beginning. The dry down is quite nice on me--light, clean white musk--and it comes on rather quickly, about thirty minutes in. I can tell that this is strictly a scent to be worn for one's own personal satisfaction because there is next to no sillage and longevity is poor. If this came in a set with matching lotion and shower gel/body wash then it might actually be worth paying full price for, but I am happy with my small rollerball sample. This is also a good scent for layering with the other Clean fragrances, especially the Warm Cotton and Air.

Cool Cotton by Clean opens with a refreshing minty green pop of bergamot that mellows to a sparkling lemon-apple blend that gives way to a clean cottony musk. I love fresh laundry and laundry detergent and I want the whole world to know it, I really don’t understand why some people are embarrassed by smelling like clean clothes. You ever smell someone in stinky clothes? *yuck face* nobody would buy that perfume. I am a huge clean fragrance fan this is the 8th scent I have purchased from the brand. If I can’t decide on what to wear from my collection or am in a hurry, I can toss this in my bag and go – it’s a no brainer! Fresh and easy scent!

Smells very clean. Aquatic. Layer with Clean Warm Cotton for the full laundry experience. Currently in my CLEAN GIRL/MUSK era so I am enjoying this combo immensely.
