Cotton T-Shirt

a very unusual, highly addictive scent! there will never be a perfume like this again - not because of its beauty but its uniqueness. i am sorry it is discontinued. opens with a hit of bergamot and pear drops (aldehydic). unusual because alot of the clean scents have a sharp citrus opening, like lemons. this one doesnt. imagine a sour lemon sprinkled with sugar - not sharp, just tangy, mouthwatering and fruity. Then, middle notes for me were very strongly freesia and cotton flower. Then a strong musk base note, with a hint of white woods. A touch of violet would have finished it off nicely. The experience of the perfume is like a cotton school shirt fresh out the dryer - with the musky cotton smell. the example someone gave of ironing a mens T shirt with the male musky odor on it it very accurate. but for me the scent, while very accurate to its name as smelling like a cotton T shirt fresh out the warehouse, was much of an unfinished perfume. there were missing scents which you expected there to be. in the top note, there was a marked absence of either lemon or berry. there needed a citrus kick. similarly in the base notes, there was missing either a strong woody note or else a violet note. the perfume did not seem well rounded. however, it is so unique, truly mouthwatering and ver accurate in its description, if you have a chance to try it i suggest you do.think of the dementer scents. it is more like a portrait than a fine fragrance. but if you are looking for a perfume and not a piece of art i suggest you try cool or even warm cotton.

I'm so disheartened that this has been discontinued. I had forgotten about this scent until I recently tried out Blanche by Byredo. I had to order 4 super small bottles of this scent just to have it in my collection again. To me, this is clean and fresh linen scent at its best. This scent is so underrated (although we all have our personal tastes), and for me, this perfume is special because: 1) I can't forget the look on my friend's face that one day when I was giving a hug and she said "wow, you smell so good" - understanding that this works as unisex fragrance, this will smell good to both women and men. I used this daily during my sophomore year in college. 2) This is a much cleaner, sharper version of Byredo's Blanche. The aldehydes fade away quickly after the first spray, and the bergamot really carries through and you're greeted with the layer of musk faster than you realize (if you're a fan of musk, you'd like this perfume). I could see how this is maybe too strong for some people at the first spray (it was the same for me) but give it 5 minutes on your skin. 3) Not many people realize this, but this works really well in the winter, especially if you get some of it on your scarf. It smells like the cold, crisp winter air condensed into a bottle.

Synthetic beginning. I guess it ́s the aldehydes. Drydown is fresh and powdery. Not the smell of a men ́s cologne at all imo.

Does what it says on the bottle: "Soapy fresh clean unisex smells nice and fresh" Lasts longer than the Demeter products.

Just put this on as I needed a little break after the last two fragrances I tried were a bit overwhelming. This is a calm to the senses. It's like coming home after a long hard day of work and taking off your collared shirt and trousers and putting on a nice, soft and clean t-shirt. The smell of the detergent that you get a whiff of as the shirt collar slides over your head and the nice cooling sensation of the sleeves as you pull your arms through. CLEAN may not be taken very seriously as a fragrance brand, but I believe the smells and sensations they manage to evoke with every fragrance I've tried is nothing short of pure genius. I can understand why people say this one leans masculine, I'd have to agree myself. If you're a woman, think of this as putting on your boyfriend or husband's baggy freshly washed T-Shirt. Now you may not want anyone else to see or smell this on you, but there's something so comforting and effortless to it that every once it a while it's hard to resist and you find yourself reaching for it anyway. I have the cutest little mini bottle of this, it looks so adorable next to my full sized CLEAN fragrances, and I'm putting a dent in this one quickly. I tend to chuck it into my purse while I'm going to work for that mid-day pick me up where I just wanna go home and put on my sweats and a t-shirt, but I can't. So I just settle for this fragrance instead. It wafts up from my pulse points throughout the rest of the day, pepping me up and putting me in a good mood that lasts until my commute home. For the price on those little bottles, I'd urge anyone who's a fan of CLEAN/clean fragrances to try this one out. I know there will be a repurchase of one in my future, soon.
