Clean Provence

I really enjoy all the Clean scents; but this is my favorite of what I've smelled of the myriad of womens. I like Outdoor Shower Fresh even more, but feel it is more unisex than anything. This one is like others have said clean, but not overly 'soapy'... Bright clean lemon-lime, opens this with an almost translucent feel, then the subtle flowers begin to emerge: sweet, light violets (almost like candied violets), an airy rose and the dry floral spice of geraniums combine and blend seemlessly with the citrus with neither overpowering the other. A truly harmonious citrus floral (without any neroli, linden or orange blossoms) bring summer days and warm meadows to mind. There is something slightly sharp behind the flowers, like a triple milled french soap (sharp, but clean). The drydown is like linens with a hint of white musk drying on the line in a strong breeze: homey, comfy and quaint. Sillage: close Longevity: okay Overall: 3.25/5 Say what you want about Clean fragrances, I enjoy ALL types of scents and always have something on, and for those days when I want to wear something, and my nose needs a break...Clean Provence really does the trick for me. Nicely done, a simple fragrance, not too complicated but a really nice blend of fresh clean notes. I doubt I would pay upwards of 70 dollars for it either, but the $10.00 US dollars for 3X10 ml rollerballs of Clean, Simply Soap and Provence...that was too good to pass up!

I agree this doesn't last very long, but I love the candied violet, powdery clean smell . . . I spray it on my sheets and pillowcases before bed and it's heavenly! Doesn't last too long on my skin, but have received compliments like "you smell so good" instead of "what perfume is that?" which I like. Especially when my five-year-old niece snuggles up and sighs and tells me I smell good. Best feeling. My husband likes it, too, but probably more on the sheets for a pleasant snuggly sleep than on me. It's hard to get him to like anything other than Chanel 22, which is my favorite and I try to savor.

This one I wore for years !! It has the squeaky clean scent of expensive french soaps. Its a very beautiful and well blended edition of violets, lavender, musky cotton ball. Very subtle, clean, fresh and feminine. When you just want to smell like you just stepped out of the shower cleansed with a lovely french soap bar. I adore this one. In my opinion one of top 5 best from clean. I hate that it has been discontinued. Will use sparringly from The one I have got left. Soft silage and average longevity. A little unspoken masterpiece.

This is just such a wake me up clean smell. There is the slight lemony clean note at first, but there is an even more prevalent clean crisp cotton flower scent mixed with the subtle violet undertones that I just can't get enough of. If this is the scent of french milled soap, then no wonder Johnny Depp moved to France! If all the ladies there smell like this, who could resist them? My only downside is that even though the sillage is fairly good, the scent fades after a couple of hours so you must re-apply fairly often.

This is such a pretty fragrance, but I can't believe it's an EDP when it fades so fast. You can't go wrong with a lemon and rose combo, it's as fresh as a summer morning shower with a creamy, expensive french soap. Super clean, but ultra feminine. Unfortunatly, the fragrance doesn't stick around long enough for the musk to come through; It would have been a prefect, sexy end.

This was my wedding day perfume back in 2012. And while I feel like I’ve out grown super clean scents of this nature, this will always be so special to me. I have about less than half the bottle left and trying to make it last til the end of time.

This one has grown on me big time. It's pleasant clean,slightly soapy and lavendary, slightly powdery and rosey, not great longevity but not poor either. Very inobtrusive, suitable for a hot sweaty weather.

I LOVE this fragrance. It's as if your not even wearing perfume. You smell so clean and fesh!!! I wear it when I dont want to wear any kind of "scent" lol.

Agreed with PAPrincess. Scent does not last long. However, this is a must is you enjoy 'clean' scents. It brings a smile to my face every time I smell it.

I wear this when I want to get chores done or be dynamic. It's a great everyday scent. Lavender scents generally make me feel focussed, feminine and fresh and this is no exception. This starts with a punchy sharp citronella that is not for the faint hearted but it quickly settles into something a lot more wearable. I'm a sucker for a lavender / musk combo - and as much as this dries down to this, it is sadly very subtle. I've heard this is now discontinued but I don't think I would have bought another bottle as it's too short lived but I can see me finishing the one I've got quite easily.

I keep this perfume in my car. Now, it's not a bad scent. In fact, I love it. I like the initial burst of sharp citrus soapyness and the rosey/cottony dry down. It's a nice change of pace from the sweeter scents I wear in cold weather. Unfortunatley, this EDP (more like a splash or cologne) start to finish lasts about 40 minutes. And even then your must press your nose to your skin and inhale violently to catch any lingering notes. My car seems to retain it's pleasant clean scent much longer than I do. I won't repurchase but I enjoy having a bottle on hand while it lasts.

This is my absolute favorite clean, soapy scent. I'm not usually a huge fan of soapy notes, but this perfume smells like the sort of sophisticated bar of soap that you would buy in a boutique in Paris. There are definitely fruity and floral notes, but I couldn't tell you what they are. Everything is very well-blended, and individual notes aren't really discernible. This doesn't just smell like the fragrance the soap is scented with, it smells like the actual bar of soap. Hard to describe, but beautiful.

I agree with other rewievs here,this is the only Clean I could imagine myself having.I dislike Cleans scents so ,i find them boring,unsensual and not enjoyable at all,not more than my washingmachine is. But this one is a little different than the others, sure its soapy and articifial ,but it smells of fine,exclusive soap,not cheap soap,and it has a fine touch of french perfume, of lavender in it ,though its not listed. That i like. But I dont accept the prize. Its not worth it.

This was a blind buy online that is growing on me. The top notes of lime and lemon, almost citronella are sharp but as I am a fan of citrus, it doesn't bother me. This quickly fades and once it settles I get the floral notes coming through and maybe a hint of pears. Generally I steer clear of rose/rose geranium and musk, but with this I found both to be surprisingly quite pleasant, airy and light and not overly sweet. Minimal Sillage so suitable for office or school.

The soapy accord of Clean Provence reminds me specifically of the tiny pristine floral-shaped soaps people displayed in their bathrooms in the 70's and 80's to scent the room. Children were often tempted to wash their hands with these fancy soaps (gasp!), only to be instructed to use the larger mushy bar-soap located nearer the sink. As soapy fragrance accords go, this is a pleasant one. But I'm not so intrigued with my sample vial to purchase a full bottle. 🦋🧡🦋

This fragrance is so very beautiful in a non-perfumey way . It has a distinct soapy sweetness that is unique to this fragrance in the Clean line. It also has a nice hit of citrus that the soapy note kind of blunts. Really nice, non-offensive, downright pleasant.

I love the smell but it does not last at all. I pretty much have to douse myself in this and reapply all day. I'm just glad it's not too heavy at first application. Smells very familiar for some reason, almost like a sparkly soda. I can't really explain.

So soapy and beautiful. When I wear it I feel like I am just showered with an exquisite soap after taking a long spring walk in the lavender fields of Provence.

It's just OK. I wear this too when I don't want to wear a scent that will kill people like at the gym...I sparay it on the back of my knee so I don't smell it

I love how this Fragrance smell like freshly washed laundry drying in the sun. I put on some my mom's a few minutes ago. I really like this scent :)
