Soapy, fresh laundry, clean—whatever you want to coin it as, these perfumes are your new go-to comfortable, everyday scents.
If there’s one extremely underrated scent, it’s probably the smell of freshly laundered linens. It’s a hard nuance to nail down, but the combination of soapy notes, warmth and light florals can be so delightfully addictive when done right. Better yet, the best thing about clean scents is that they’re extremely wearable, making them ideal for everyday wear.
So, should you be on the lookout for a great new go-to to add to your fragrance collection, look no further. Ahead, we’ve rounded up our favourite picks for all scents clean and dreamy:
Acne Studios Par Frederic Malle 100ml, RM1,889
This aldehydic scent is guaranteed to earn you some compliments. Made up of a bouquet of delicate florals like rose, violet and orange blossom, creamy vanilla and sandalwood, warm frankincense and musk and a touch of fruity peach, we’d liken this scent to fabric softener on gold silk sheets. It’s modern, magnetic and easy to wear.
Le Labo Lavande 31 100ml
Lavender can be a polarising scent. While it is instantly recognisable, it also has garnered less-than-glamorous associations in perfumery. Well, this isn’t your grandmother’s fragrance—Le Labo has taken the note and elevated it like never before. Blended with bergamot and neroli for a burst of freshness, a hint of tonka for added creaminess, and paired with amber, and musk for a dirty twist, Lavande 31 brings images of freshly laundered garments on skin to mind—a fragrance that begs to be lived in.
Available at Le Labo boutiques.
Philosophy Pure Grace EDP 60ml, RM270
This fragrance leans on the crisp side, mixing water lily, leafy greens, and frosted musk to create a perfectly refreshing, fresh-out-the-shower scent. It’s subtle enough to not overwhelm the senses but powerful enough to leave a gentle trail that follows you throughout the day. Better yet, it’s a unisex perfume that is perfect for couples who love to share!
Replica Lazy Sunday Morning EDT 100ml, RM695
There’s nothing more comforting than the sensation of being tangled up in clean sheets, and that’s exactly what this Replica scent captures. Blending clean notes of aldehyde, and lily of the valley with powdery iris, sweet orange and rose, and cutting the scent with an earthy base of patchouli and amber, it’s an easy and nostalgic everyday fragrance that’ll ease your senses. A perfume that makes time stand still, leaving only memories and sensations.
Christian Dior Parfums New Look 100ml, RM1,450
This amber fragrance subverts the natural warmth of its star ingredient, adding an fresh, earthy twist to its amber base in the form of a frankincense heart and aldehyde top. Perfect for him and her, it’s a unique scent that evokes the image of soap suds and aged linens with a dry down that keeps getting sweeter with every sniff.
