Clean Man

I have loved this fragrance for years and am fortunate to have recently found a large tester at a great price. Sure it smells synthetic, but I love it nonetheless... reminds me of juicy fruit chewing gum.

Soapy,beautiful CLEAN fragance, i love it !!!!!! :D

In my search for minimalist, clean and aquatic fragrances I've finally given this line a try. As usual, I am late to the party, but theres a reason for it. When I first experienced the Clean line I thought to myself, "what's the point," why would anyone wanna smell like laundry detergent or soap." Rediculas! But, at the time I lived in a place that had 4 distinct seasons with mild springs & summers and cool, crisp fall & winters. So, I could wear all types of scents, from citrusy to spicey, muskey, incensey and woodsy fragrances. But right now, I live in a very hot, hummid, suffocating climate and I can't fathom wearing those things. So, several years later I decide to try the Clean fragrances and now, I get it! I see why it's very popular, especially with people who are not into traditional fragrances. I decided to review this one, "Clean Men," because it's the most controversial and also one of the first in the line and saddly the rarest, hardest to find now. First of all, yes, when it's initially sprayed, it smells like bathroom cleaner. I know, yuck, right? Well, not so fast! If you wait a bit, an interesting thing happens....it begins to unfold and becomes fresher and fresher and that weird, synthetic, cleanser note goes away. It begins to get stronger somehow, but still linear, with a very light, sweet-skin undertone and a nice'n' fresh, soapy-clean, mildly detergeant character. Of course it's all very synthetic and linear, but it's just so, so, well.....Clean. It's brilliant! I have recieved more compliments wearing this, then anything I've ever worn. How strange? And what's more is, even after being drenched in sweat, from my morning jog, I still smelled freshly showered. Unbelievable! I think that the reason this and the entire line works so well, is because we live in an increasingly "Fragraphobic" society, especially in the USA. We forget sometimes that we are fragaphiles and love these things, but alot of people have negative associations with fragrances and also believe they're allergic to all fragrances. So they avoid them, or want them to be very light. So minimalist scents have a place and the Clean line is great for it's intended purpose. All of them are pretty good and smell like what they're supposed to mimic, so you can't go wrong trying any of them. Any one of them will have you smelling good, without appearing to be wearing fragrance at all. Finally, I would suggest that you do not spray these on your skin, except for maybe, the "Clean Skin," because they are fairly harsh and synthetic and seem to work best, and last longer, if sprayed on your clothing. If you're looking for minimalist scents, for work, school or gym, then check these out. For me, the Clean Men is the first and best in my collection. If you can find one and at a decent price, you'll be very lucky.

Soapy?! What'd you expect...it's called CLEAN Men!! I really like this one and it smells much better than what the note list first hinted at...I was wondering how all those notes would smell 'clean'-BUT they do...and very well, I might add! This does have a detergent or soap like aura overall. However, the opening of blood grapefruit(sweeter and juicier than regular), tart-sweet raspberries, and a very powdery lavender take fruity-floral somewhere it had never been. The citrus is zesty (like an infusion of pure peels & oil) and the berries are creamy and light, and the lavender-MMMM!The heart of the scent is more citrus (bright limes), warm fresh cloves and the camphory sweetness of olibanum (NOT burning frankincense); warmer and more manly than the opening. The ultimate drydown is patchouli leaves (not the heavy oil and surprisingly light, yet earthy) and a powdery white musk. This scent is really more than just a soapy perfume (as you can see); and is warm but also fresh, bright yet soft and very comfortable, indeed. Sillage: good Longevity: surprising Overall: 3.75/5 All reviews are of course subjective; but I find this scent to be a lightly layered composition, as opposed to the staight forward smell of sweet creamy soap found in DSL Pure Soap, and would reccomend it for anything from school/office to a nice casual first date. This blends well with just about any shower gel or deodorant. And, yes: the price is a little high-but it CAN be found on discount sites at a good bargain if you look,(mine: a 4 0z EDT spray-usually 79 US dollars- was only $31.95 on a discount site) and it's well worth the price IMHO...

I've had this for years and only used it a few times because I thought it was cloying. I sprayed it on my arm this morning and discovered that it's actually quite nice but kinda headache inducing if over-sprayed. It's very soapy and fruity but also smells heavy on white florals. It does have a laundry detergent vibe as some have said. It's nothing mind-blowing but definitely works well for those mornings when you have to run out before taking a shower. Not sure why they made it for MEN since it leans more feminine.

I agree with many reviews here that Clean Man smells like bathroom cleaner in the opening. When I tried it, I felt it was quite off-putting. But to my surprise, it quickly developed into a very clean soapy scent, which I really enjoyed. The soapy scent last 1-3 hours depending on the weather and temperature before turning into the dry down musk note. To my nose, it got too musky that I felt I needed to to clean up.

I differ from many folks on here in that I like this scent. Perhaps my nose is not working right, but it reminds me a bit of a toned down Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Gio. This reminds me of a cross between Calvin Klein Eternity and the afore mentioned AdG. What is interesting is that after a few minutes it does get stronger and the AdG hint gets more pronounced, so avoid the initial temptation to overspray.

The opening is like a Mr. Clean lemon cleaning product, after a while it gets a soapy feel, not great or horrible. Don't regret the purchase for a 30ml paid $7 it lasts around 4 hrs. In slightly warm weather. It grows on you the more you wear it, unisex slightly masculine.

I don't find it as horrible as many here do, it's synthetic for sure, great? Nope. Horrid? Nope, it's OK nothing more nothing less, not something I will buy when I run out... 4/10 in my books..

Maybe there is something wrong with my nose, but this smells identical to Clean original for women.

i really love the scent, it lives up to its name "CLEAN". i feel sexy when im wearing it

I'm a person who likes clean and soapy fragrances but this one is a horrid fragrance. I'm in agreement with some of the previous posters who say this is like bathroom cleaner. It smells like a lot of chemicals mixed up and then someone said "let's try to throw in some lemon and maybe that will make it better" and when it didn't, they said "screw let, let's try to sell it anyway".

Smells synthetic. It smells like baby powder or a lady's cologne somehow. I didn't find any masculinity on it. It's too sweet and fruity. I expected it to be mild, like a clean fabric sort of scent but it's not. It lasts long though and has a good projection for the first few hours. Rating: Scent-1/10 Longevity-7/10 Projection-7/10

just a soapy fresh citrus frag but nothing unique or memorable, i have smelled it a few times and never actually bought a bottle of it because there are so many better things out there

Clean Man. I am a man. I try to stay clean. I won't smell very clean if I wear a scent that smells like bitter citrus and Vicks Vap-O-Rub.

Sentence Summary: Smells like a freshly laundered sock - makes a good shoe deodoriser. Berating rating 3/10

Notes sound very promising but this is really horrible. Absolutely try before you buy.

The same as Clean original (with pink ribbon). Just a Selling trick for men.

It smells like a generic household cleaner with added musk.

This is a scent I would call quirky, but in a good way. Very unusual for an eau de toilette - some people may say it smells like clean laundry right after washing, but to me it smells more like washing powder when you open the detergent box and take a direct sniff. It is strong also, and after 4 sprays it stays with you for many hours, it lingers even lomger on clothes (of course). I'd say 2-3 sprays is enogh. Non-typical, curiosity, oddball, interesting, extreme - that's what this scent is. Someone here said it's an aquired taste and that description is spot-on. It took me a while to get used to it and appreciate it for what it is. Now I've got to say I actually love it, but you may not so try it first.

Blind bought for next to nothing. Expectations were low but best case scenario I was hoping for something generic simple and pleasant. This is truly horrible. An overpowering Lime note mixed with a terrible laundry musk? I can't believe anybody could pass this as an acceptable smell. Many reviews comparing to irish spring soap, which I have never smelt but I thought Sung Homme was supposed to smell l like that? This smells nothing like Sung, it's truly hideous. Double thumbs down.

The starting is Fresh, Whole New Feel and Clean. It is the cleanest scent out there... It give you a fresh new towel + good cold shower feel and scent. Very good to refresh yourself in a hot summer day. The scent didn't evolve much, very linear, from strong to weaker of the same scent (Not too citrusy fresh floral scent). Too bad, I live in tropical country that sweat a lot, it can only last 2 hours on me. Else I will surely make this part of my collection. 6/10 from me.

I may be confused, and I'm definitely asking for input. I used to wear a scent called "Clean Men' by D'lish. I re-ordered it and received 'Clean for Men' by Clean. There are passing similarities in scent and packaging, but it's definitely not the same cologne. I have scoured the web but have found nothing. To clarify, it's not a change for the better.

CLEAN Man is a very very easy going fragrance. Its sparkling citrusy fresh and super duper clean. It's actually safe to say that its like a fresh natural-smelling cleaning detergent. This is a type of scent that I wear around the house or when I want something super simple and still smell good.

It's hard for me to pick a note, so I would call it a good blend. I would think it's a crowd pleasure: peaceful soft musk, lime soften the grapefruit and remind us the primordial connection between citruses and cleanliness.

Smells like Irish Spring in a bottle. Very strong, lasting sillage. Very citrusy and best if you just got off the shower and spray just once. Warning: Overspraying will knock you out.

انصحك به انه عبير ورد جميل لطيف ليس صلفا او ثقيلا بل لطيف جدا اصبر حتى يبرد وسترى عجبا اول ما شميت هذه الرائحة كانت في كارد معطر للسيارة وكانت الرائحة مبهجة جدا

A little goes a long way with this fragrance. I like it. It kind of reminds me of... Irish Spring Sport (the bar soap which is now discontinued).

You all think it smells like Bathroom cleaner? Well... checking this one off the "curious" list. Thanks for the honesty.

Can someone please tell me if this version is the same one as Clean Classic for men? If not, which came out first?

Smells clean. Very good projection. Fabric softener kind of smell. Would get some compliments for this.

This is a horrible smell! Syntetic and makes me wanna vomit...dont buy this!

Si a ti te gusta el olor a limpio y a platano esta es tu colonia.

I would say smells nice but not more or less.
