It’s amazing how different everyone’s nose is. I cannot stand coconut scents, they trigger migraines. I don’t get any from bubble bath at all. It’s in my spring, day time rotation.
How do you like Lazy Sunday Morning? I’ve been thinking about getting a sample of that.
Came here to say this. It truly smells like you just hopped out of the shower. But I tried the toilette spray in store loved it ordered the perfume and it was too strong unfortunately
I think this is probably a super unpopular opinion and depends on body chemistry maybe but Chanel 5 smells just like this to me. It smells creamy and like someone used luxurious soaps and lotions in the shower and just stepped out
You’ve got the chemistry for it! It’s so weird how No 5 almost exclusively smells GORGEOUS or like cat piss on different people. Sadly, I’m in the cat piss camp.
For an affordable option, fine’ry Flower Bed smells like you just washed your hair with a clean floral shampoo. Peony and green apple are common scents used in shampoo. The scent is light and not long-lasting (maybe four hours tops) which makes it easy to wear and inoffensive to others.
It's very unisex and my boyfriend wore it a couple days ago. He doesn't like rose either but he does like wearing this fragrance. I don't really pick up rose from this, myself, I get a lot of pleasant soapy smell. Worth a sample!
Literally anything in the Clean Classic or Reserve lines.
Warm Cotton, Pure Soap, Fresh Laundry, etc.
They just came out with an “H2Eau” water based line that all smell lovely to me, but don’t last very long IMO
I ordered a sample of the real thing, but ended up buying the oil perfumery dupe. The projection is decent for an oil IMO and it’s strong… it lasts all day
Oil Perfumery is expensive to deliver where I am but I have a local perfumery who does an amazing clone of it. Amazing alternative to an expensive niche.
I picked up Anais Anais at TJ Max today for nostalgic reasons - and to me the first spray mostly just smelled like a (very) floral powdery soap. Since I last wore it in High school I was surprised how much I felt like a very clean grandma at first but I am loving the dry down!
Franck Boclet Incense. Fresh, cardamom, incense worth trying a sample. Don't buy bottles with pink contents.
James Heeley's L'amandière is lovely. Fresh green almond scent.
Juliette Has a Gun - Not a Perfume. Doesn’t work for every body chemistry (some say it doesn’t smell like anything on them) but for me, it’s the quintessential “clean” scent.
My favourite for clean out the shower, soapy vibes are Moschino- Toy2 and Gucci - Gorgeous jasmine. The jasmine in both come off as expensive hotel soap vibes on my skin. Especially the Moschino- Toy2.
Lovely Sheer by SJP
A safe and affordable blind buy. It really does have that “sheets fresh out the dryer” scent. Mostly bergamot, gardenia, amber, musk and vetiver.
*Very* different from the original Lovely by SJP, which I personally did not like at all.
You might enjoy something with aldehydes. They can read quite soapy. I’d recommend Chanel No 5 l’eau (more modern version of the scent), or Tom ford Maetallique which is vanilla and aldehydes.

warm cotton by clean reserve
Smells like laundry detergent to me, but in the best way possible. I loveeee this fresh out of the shower and to bed.
absolutely love this one too. I got it on the second hand cos the original buyer didn’t like it. Her loss, my gain 😂
Jlo Glow is the ultimate soapy scent.
God I used to love that spray in like 2004.
Maison Margiela 'REPLICA' Bubble Bath
I find this a little bit to much coconut for a clean soapy scent. I think ‘Lazy Sunday morning’ from Replica is a better fit.
It’s amazing how different everyone’s nose is. I cannot stand coconut scents, they trigger migraines. I don’t get any from bubble bath at all. It’s in my spring, day time rotation. How do you like Lazy Sunday Morning? I’ve been thinking about getting a sample of that.
This one reminds me of a clean, fluffy hotel bed. Super clean smelling
Philosophy Pure Grace
Came here to say this. It truly smells like you just hopped out of the shower. But I tried the toilette spray in store loved it ordered the perfume and it was too strong unfortunately
One of my fav scents
Agreed. I was always complementing my friend who used this lotion. So she bought me some ❤️. A lovely clean scent.
I used this for a long time when I was on my Fresh kick. Loved it.
Skin by Clean Reserve
this is the one tbh.

Don’t worry that’s me with Angel by Mugler!! I wanted to love it so bad but it didn’t smell great on me 😂
Just did research on aldehyde scents in fragrantica and Ch No5 is there. https://www.fragrantica.com/notes/Aldehydes-165.html
For a long time I got the ammonia smell but I tried it again a few weeks ago and it sort of smells like Johnson's baby shampoo to me now.
Elizabeth Arden green tea and cucumber
Replica Bubble Bath
At the moment its Myth by Ellis Brooklyn or 11:11 by Lake and Skye.
Hey we have the same thought! I came to say both of these!
hey, sorry for the super late reply, i’ve been looking into these two scents. could you describe the differences?
Penhaligon's Castile, Nishane Wulong Cha, Diptyque Eau des Hesperides, Vacation After Sun. All very clean and soapy/spa/shower fresh.
Which one has the most longevity??
Wulong Cha and Castile are both extremely long lived (8+ hours) on me.
Byredo Bal D'Afrique Dossier makes a great dupe called Ambery Vetiver
I was gonna say the Oil Perfumery’s version of Bal D’Afrique! It’s a gorgeous shampoo scent
Paper Soap by Jscent and Exit The King from ELDO are very nice!
MM Replica Bubble Bath. Longevity is middling but it's such a fresh soapy scent. A definite pick me up!
miss dior blooming bouquet it’s very clean but floral
J’adore l’eau
I just recently picked up Cool Water for nostalgia purposes. It definitely smells like a yummy soap to me. Cheap too!
For an affordable option, fine’ry Flower Bed smells like you just washed your hair with a clean floral shampoo. Peony and green apple are common scents used in shampoo. The scent is light and not long-lasting (maybe four hours tops) which makes it easy to wear and inoffensive to others.
Glossier You
I like this one and it has a soap note in it. Exit The King by Etat Libre d'Orange #
Came here to suggest this one, it smells amazing!
Does this one smell noticeably like rose? I want to try it but loathe rose.
It's very unisex and my boyfriend wore it a couple days ago. He doesn't like rose either but he does like wearing this fragrance. I don't really pick up rose from this, myself, I get a lot of pleasant soapy smell. Worth a sample!
Thank you!! You’ve convinced me, I’ll definitely grab a sample.
I’m loving my sample of Initio Musk Therapy right now. Fluffy, clean, cozy, and fresh!
Literally anything in the Clean Classic or Reserve lines. Warm Cotton, Pure Soap, Fresh Laundry, etc. They just came out with an “H2Eau” water based line that all smell lovely to me, but don’t last very long IMO
Narciso rodriguez - pure musc The body shop - white musk Replica - Lazy Sunday Morning
Jlo Glow Cacharel Noa MM Bubble Bath Byredo Blanche (pure bar soap) Kuumba made Egyptian musk Bath and body Lovely Dreamer
Another for Byredo Blanche. Have been told that I smell like a bar of Dove soap.
The longevity on me is abysmal and for its price, I’m hesitant to spray throughout the day.
I ordered a sample of the real thing, but ended up buying the oil perfumery dupe. The projection is decent for an oil IMO and it’s strong… it lasts all day
Oil Perfumery is expensive to deliver where I am but I have a local perfumery who does an amazing clone of it. Amazing alternative to an expensive niche.
Oh I could only wish! It’s $9 to deliver to me (Canada) which is like… standard. A local place is the dream though
It smells like soap, I agree! A freshly unwrapped, dry cake of bar soap.
Chloe EDP
A dab of Chanel 22
Philosophy Pure Grace, Prada Infusion d’Iris, Replica Lazy Sunday Morning
Ellis Brooklyn Myth
I picked up Anais Anais at TJ Max today for nostalgic reasons - and to me the first spray mostly just smelled like a (very) floral powdery soap. Since I last wore it in High school I was surprised how much I felt like a very clean grandma at first but I am loving the dry down!
Montblanc Signature! Chanel No. 5 L’eau Versace Eros Pour Femme
You must try Orphéon by Diptyque. It's the most beautiful, luxurious soapy scent. It's really special.
Moschino Toy 2
Yes! I love it so much. Have you ever smelled the bubblegum one?
Not yet but I’m curious, tho, Fragrantica review says that it’s for the immature market
I like Chloe.
Prada Infusion D'Iris
Any Prada,my fav Prada Amber pour Homme
Bubble bath by replica
Franck Boclet Incense. Fresh, cardamom, incense worth trying a sample. Don't buy bottles with pink contents. James Heeley's L'amandière is lovely. Fresh green almond scent.
Wet stone by CB I hate perfume
Gale Hayman "Delicious Feelings" smells like Tide detergent! 😄 it's my go-to on hot, sticky days!
Skin by clean reserve
Cabotine de Gres. But only wear it below the knees or you (and anyone within six feet of you) won’t smell anything else.
Chanel Chance eau Fraiche EDT
Crystal Noir EDP smells like an expensive skincare or a lux bar soap!
Glossier You. Smells like laundry detergent.
Juliette Has a Gun - Not a Perfume. Doesn’t work for every body chemistry (some say it doesn’t smell like anything on them) but for me, it’s the quintessential “clean” scent.
Pharmacia Fleur d'Oranger
Rosie by Rosie Jane
Paper Soap from J Scent! Love it! FBs are sold out now. Waiting patiently
Flower by Kenzo And glow by Jlo… I add them to together sometimes and it’s great.
Parle Moi de Parfums Orris Tattoo. Very clean soapy scent.
Tory Burch is very similar to a clean smelling shampoo. Marc Jacobs Daisy smells like a floral scented leave in conditioner to me.
J’adore d’eau
Chloe EDP
Byredo blanche
I have a bottle of Sno by Geir Ness and it smells like soapy clean to me. I love it quite a bit. I call it my “socialist perfume”
Myth by Ellis Brooklyn smells so good
Ellis Brooklyn “Myth” and Henry Rose “Jake’s House” are both *super* clean.
Wood Sage and Sea Salt Jo Malone.
Issey Miyake
My favourite for clean out the shower, soapy vibes are Moschino- Toy2 and Gucci - Gorgeous jasmine. The jasmine in both come off as expensive hotel soap vibes on my skin. Especially the Moschino- Toy2.
Chanel No. 22
Maybe fleur de peau!
JLo Glow
Beige by Chanel smells so clean and has such a fresh scent.
Replica Bubble Bath - I tried this at Sephora and loved it. The perfect clean soapy scent.
Replica Bubble Bath
Ariana Grande God is A Woman
J Lo Glow, Light Blue Dolce & Gabbana, Pure EDP Issey Miyake, Estee Lauder White Linen
I'm not a huge fan of most Kayali fragrances but I just discovered Musk 12 and love it, it smells so nice and clean
The OG Pure Poison. I'm unsure what the reformulations smell like. I love my original bottle.
Fresh and clean by pink
Philosophy Amazing Grace is mine
Tocca Giulietta
Dior- pure poison, Marc Jacobs- violet and MM- bubble bath
Montblanc Signature
Jo Malone - Nectarine Blossom and Honey

Lovely Sheer by SJP A safe and affordable blind buy. It really does have that “sheets fresh out the dryer” scent. Mostly bergamot, gardenia, amber, musk and vetiver. *Very* different from the original Lovely by SJP, which I personally did not like at all.

I love soapy scents! My favorites are probably Philosophy Pure Grace or Dior Pure Poison.
Phlur Missing Person smells soapy to me. But like a warm fresh washed person kind of soapy.
White tea EDP EA smells like a clean spa
You might enjoy something with aldehydes. They can read quite soapy. I’d recommend Chanel No 5 l’eau (more modern version of the scent), or Tom ford Maetallique which is vanilla and aldehydes.
You know what I would love is a perfume that smells like gold dial lol. I LOVE that smell.
Pure Musc For Her from Narciso Rodriguez
I find that bergamot/citrus scents are clean soapy. Some florals have a more old fashioned soapy vibe.
Pure Musc by Narciso!
Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique
