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.

So to start I will say that my favourite type of fragrance is a clean, fresh smelling perfume. So when I got this as a free sample I thought i couldn't go wrong, and technically speaking I didn't. It does smell amazing! It does smell fresh! And it does smel clean! But here's the thing.... It smells EXACTLY like the towels I took out of the dryer! So yes, this is absolutely fresh and clean....but it's like, how you want your clothes to smell as they come out of the dryer, or how you want your bedding to smell when you go to lay down at night! This one would be perfect for if you were to have a bath or shower in the evening right before bed, and then you spray your clothes with it, lightly on your body and then your bedding as well! As far as a perfume goes, no....I will take a pass on smelling like laundry!

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!

The touch of mint gives this one a refreshing, cooling quality. Cool Cotton starts with a quick mist of lemonade, then dries down to a fresh crisp cotton fabric scent. It's like air conditioning for your skin in summer, or a cold breeze from an open window in winter. The cool feeling stays with you even after fragrance becomes a close to skin scent. Cotton flower, mimosa and white musk combine to create the very slightest hint of a powdery feeling. It's really more soft musk than powder. Non offensive, office friendly.. Uplifting, refreshing, and a real crowd pleaser. Perfect for anyone, any age, to wear anywhere, all year round.

It’s funny, I love the CLEAN line-most of them or some of them. Warm cotton I can not stand, to the point that every layering package, multi package etc (which is at least 10+) and I’ve given the warm cotton away each time.but I purchased a large order from one of my online websites I purchase cosmetics and fragrances from so I got this As a free sample within my order and I can’t believe how much I love this. It’s citrus, fresh and laundry soap sort of, but it’s how I love it. Give this one a try!!!

This is one of my favs and go-to when I need a scent boost to lift my spirits. I love it because it just smells clean and fresh. Like you just took a fresh bath with some high-end bubbles and body wash. It’s even nice to spray on your bed or favorite pillow so you feel wrapped in fresh, clean laundry. It’s just nice. Does not smell cheap or heavy. It’s just a great everyday scent.

To me this smells like soft, cool cotton sheets. It's natural, clean, and refreshing. It reminds me just a bit of Estee Lauder White Linen, but a softer, fresher, less sharp and more updated version of that scent. If you like clean and fresh fragrances, I recommend trying this out (actually the entire Clean brand).

This is a great everyday scent. Accidentely ordered warm cotton and immediatley knew it was wrong. This is a nice "freshly showered and clothes out the dryer" scent. It is really nice and I will repurchase.

its my favorite perfume, my go to for almost any season/occasion (though its especially suitable for spring and summer days), its a lovely fresh scent that mixes well with my chemistry :)

A nice minty body wash clean., if you want to feel fresh out of the shower.

Mmmmmm.. laundry vibes with mint added ☺️🤭🫧💕 yummy to my nose

I would say this is a unisex fragrance. I second the voter saying warm cotton vs cool cotton is the same as warm towels from the dryer vs a shower with expensive soap. Topnotes are juicy sweet apple, lemon and bergamot warmed with cotton flower and a hint of a bitter masculine tone. The citrus is not a very sharp smell - more like a very bright smell, more like rubbing your hand hard on a lemon peel and smelling the oil, than actually biting into the shapness of the lemon. As it dries down, there is a hint of lemon cotton flower and musk. Base notes - definately some amber It has a very weak sillage and is not long lasting. On me it lasted maybe 15 minutes? Makes me think of a watered down version of Guerlian Acqua Allegoria Herba Fresca but less green, more warmth from the cotton flower and amber A definate (but weak) "expensive soap" smell . Not a "laundry chemicals" smell. Its OK but not memorable in any way. It is much more 'perfume like' than the other cleans (simply soap, clean original, ultimate, shower fresh, fresh laundry, summer linen) , which basically imitate detergent or soap . This one is definately a perfume with all the artisticness that goes into the perfume. If I didnt know it and smelled it on someone else, i would say it is defiantely a perfume and not simply clean soap or fresh clothes. The trouble is, in creating this fragrance Clean has shunned it's cult status of imitation smells, and has produced a perfume which is 'perfume like' with layers and artisticness but simply doesnt do it very well. So you have a perfume which smells like a perfume, but in fact is a mediocre one. I cant imagine it would be anyone's favourite because there isnt anything to make it stand out. It is very similar to Clean Provence (discontinued) which was the expensive triple milled french soap one BUT this one is more green and warm, much much weaker In summary. Unremarkable, weak but pleasant expensive soap fragrance. VEry different to warm cotton which is more of a warm clean towel smell. I would recommend warm over cold

Straight out of the bottle, Cool Cotton brought back memories of a lot of the fresh aquatic/green scents that were popular in the 90’s. Think along the lines of Cool Water, Polo Sport, Nautica, Tommy Girl, etc. As it began to dry down, though, it really started to exemplify its name. It’s not a “going sailing” type of aquatic smell, but more along the lines of “recently bathed.” It smells like fresh laundry that has been dried in a fruity-floral fabric softener. There’s really no other way to describe it. As their Warm Cotton scent also smells like fresh laundry, I think the mint note is what makes Cool Cotton different. It’s not something I’d wear for date night or an evening out, but you could definitely wear this to run errands or to the office. (I mean, c’mon, who’s going to complain about working next to someone who smells like they showered today?) This could also be a workout scent or when you just want a good pick-me-up, as it gives that just-washed-up vibe. I’d say it’s a good selection for Spring/Summer, however I could see it appealing year-round to people who are fans of this type of scent. Cleanliness doesn’t really have a season.

Clean Warm Cotton or Clean Cool Cotton? If you like the smell of freshly ironed clothes - choose Warm Cotton. If you like the way you smell after a refreshing shower with a classy soap - then go for Cool Cotton. I love some of the Clean brand*s perfumes, but not their typical squeaky clean ones, like Warm Cotton, Shower Fresh, Original etc. But I actually like Cool Cotton. It's more soap than detergent or softener. Cool Cotton is clean and fresh from the start and it settles that way too. It offers no drama, no surprises, no excitement. It's simple and reliable, good and safe. You smell nice and you know it. Sometimes that's exactly what you wan't from a fragrance. Nothing more, nothing less. // Update a few years later. I still like this no fuss- no problem- scent. I've noticed that of all my perfumes this one have given me the most compliments through the years. We're a good match.

I won't duplicate all the other reviews by describing how this scent makes you feel like you're fresh out of the shower after using expensive soap or wearing crisply ironed shirts, because this fragrance can be both of those things, but it also reminds me of burying my face in freshly laundered European linens while sprawled on a deliciously soft bed. I like wearing this when I'm feeling blah and want to feel comfortable and calm--and very, wonderfully, fragrantly clean. It's also good for days when you get bogged down in between complex fragrances. This is simple and well blended: it's hard to pick out the distinct notes. Cotton flower, mimosa, and white musk are the most I can find in this. Sillage is low-moderate and longevity is about 4-5 hours on me, finishing with a lovely skin scent that lingers for several more.

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.

The name says it all. Powdery musky cotton with minty fruits and citrus in the background. Inoffensive, and easy to wear, definitely smells like fresh laundry. •If you don’t like “aquatic” fresh scents, might not be for you.• I like it for a “non perfume” kind of day, when you just want to smell like you went into the shower and put freshly out of laundry clothes on, while someone cut an apple in the background. The sillage is weak , a skin scent after around half an hour. The longevity is moderate. Def a unisex because of its fresh soapy fruity scent.

I definitely fall on the side of reviewers who get a light, cool, fresh scent rather than a synthetic lemon cleaner scent, so I like this -- it's great for days when you want a low-key fragrance. The only reason this is getting a "like" rather than a "love" from me is that the longevity is pretty bad -- 2 hours max, then you need to reapply (however, given the reasonable price, not the end of the world I suppose).

Very fresh, laundry detergent, clean scent. Citrus and apple are prominent. Like a “cotton” or “linen” scented candle. Normally not something I am very much into, but I wore my little sample of this extensively while in Barcelona this January, which was a bright spot in a very dark time for me so this scent to me is tied to unusually calm, relaxed feelings in a comfortable, “clean, well-lighted place.” 6/10
