White Woods

I'm usually not too into Clean scents (both literally clean scents and the brand), but I love this one. It smells like cashmere woods and for some reason transports me back to winter in Switzerland. I'm not sure why, but it does have a refinement and elegance to it and it's not actually terribly in your face "clean" smelling. This is a cozy, warm, winter scent that does make me think of the woods and is musky. It actually is incredibly similar to Donna Karan's Cashmere Mist, minus the very leathery note, which I didn't care for too much anyway, so I prefer this one. It's also less powdery. If I concentrate on it, I can smell the bergamot and citrus notes after applying, but I don't feel like it's the first thing I noticed, the cashmere wood is. But I guess it does give it a "fresh" undertone. It's also a light scent, that is smelled most on the skin and has just a light projection. Enough for you to notice yourself without just sniffing your arm, but not enough probably for other people that aren't in very close proximity to you to smell. It's personal and not offending at all. I've worn this to my office many times as well, as well as times when I've just felt like I wanted to 'freshen up,' but it's fall or winter and I don't really want something floral or too light and springy for that. It's clean-musky-woody, a "winter clean" perhaps. I'll see how long this lasts. 2 hours later and it's a faint musky woody scent I can smell with my nose to my skin on my arm, and slightly projected out from my chest, which is warmer. I would say between 2-3 hours, there was no longer any projection, but 5 hours later I can still smell this on my skin, where it's been linear. 9 hours later and I'll can technically still smell it, though it's a faint skin scent.

This one is very neutral, i don’t know how else to put it. Kind of on the borderline between everything. Hard to describe what kind of scent this is. It is definitely something you can wear when you don’t want to offend anyone, when you don’t want anyone to know you are wearing fragrance. It is kind of polite barely noticeable scent. It is neither floral nor woody: a well-blended mixture of both. It is neither feminine nor unisex: not typical modern scent for women but too soft and fragile for a man. I don’t smell much citrus there. For me it is slightly sweet soapy scent, not very fresh but not powdery either. Kind of personal hygiene/shower gel/bath foam/light body lotion kind of scent. On my skin it is very light and short lasting. I use it for gym or before bed. It has some sweetness that smells a bit like white chocolate and I am not a fan of gourmand notes in my perfumes. I am very neutral about this one, it is definitely not something I like, but I can wear it sometimes when I am bored of everything else, but it is lacking character and personality to be properly liked by me.

The Ugly Woman with a Good Looking Man of fragrances. It is the weirdest thing, to me. It's plain. It's simple. There is nothing remarkable about it that jumps out at you. But it's SO freaking GOOD. I adore this scent. I don't find it 'soapy' at all. It's sweet. It's a tad musky, though I'm loath to say that, b/c it's so faint. Whatever it is, the end product is just plain good. I purchased a rollerball in order to get free shipping from someplace. I liked it, but that was sort of it - Just like. But... I kept going back to that bottle. Over, and over, and over. It became what I went to when I didn't feel like anything else. Then it became what I preferred to everything else. And then the bottle was nearly empty, and I purchased a large bottle. I've never experienced this with a fragrance before. It's weird. ETA: I'm not a fan of any other Clean scent.

Mature minimalist, really does smell a bit like Armani Lei but so much thinner, flatter, like the ghost of a scent. The only Clean scent I've liked (and use alot) is Ultimate and when this one came out I was happily surprised, fascinated. Saw a bargain online and bought it but really wish I didn't.. It's quite elegant but to me so soapy it's annoying. What saves it a bit is the clear birch note which is very pretty and the bergamot :) Edit Yes! I get it now :) I knew the Clean line was different but still I've kept trying to smell them the same way as traditional scents. Of course they're skeletal, outlined, lacking the depth and complexity of my other frags. These are "whiffers" and the whiffs from this one are truly fantastic. Making room for my own body chemistry and imagination. Subliminal. Yap this IS a keeper after all.

One of my favorite of the Clean bunch.. woody, musky, citrus and sweet. I some times wear it alone, but If you layer it with warm Cashmere fra Clean ( also a favorite ) its Fabulous !!! Silage and longevity is a little above average for me. This scent is autum and winter for me. Pleasant, cosy, woodsy and clean. Soft and feminine in every way. Non offensive for every occasion. I quite adore this little subtle masterpiece. Soft and sweet smelling praline at the bottom notes.
