Cool Cotton

Clean's Cool Cotton is exactly what the name suggests: a fresh, laundry-clean scent that people describe as sweet and citrus first, with most also finding it musky and floral and a third noticing an aromatic or amber side. It launched in 2013 and is worn by anyone.

Lemon and lemon peel give the opening its zesty bite, bergamot softens it, and mint adds a cool, toothpaste-fresh lift. The fruit is crisp rather than jammy: green apple and apple are tart and watery, while peach brings a gentler, rounder sweetness. Mimosa and cotton flower supply the floral side, soft, powdery and slightly honeyed, the kind of flowers that smell more like clean fabric than a bouquet. White musk and musk do most of the work underneath, giving that fresh-from-the-dryer softness, with a little amber for warmth.

An easy, unfussy scent that smells like clean skin and sun-dried sheets, suited to anyone who wants to smell fresh rather than perfumed.
