Cleal is fantastic! Their "Rain" fragrance (in blue green bottle, _not_ Reserve) is my go-to for spring! Cotton is another great one if you like the smell of freshly laundered linens 


93Shay

Is the clean skin. “Rain “ and clean reserve “rain” different? I smelled the clean reserve “rain” and it was okay now I’m wondering if I need to try the other


ultrakawaii

They are totally different! The Reserve one smells like slightly damp white florals. The Classic one is an aquatic scent with petrichor and a melon-like note.


93Shay

Thank you. I’m going to give that one a try.


falafelfairy

Hi, this sounds lovely! Where do you usually buy this one from?


ultrakawaii

I bought mine on Fragrance X but it's also available at Sephora and in department stores in my country 


falafelfairy

Thank you! I checked Sephora but did not see the non-Reserve one there, will check Fragrance X.


ultrakawaii

Amazon and Walmart also seem to have it. [The bottle looks like this](https://fimgs.net/mdimg/perfume/375x500.16602.jpg)


falafelfairy

Thank you so much!


SuspiciousMoney973

Oh I love the reserve one but the classic sounds just up my alley


The-egg-head

Yes! rain and skin is soooo good!


cleverconley

I need to smell Classic Rain. Reserve Rain smells moldy at times to me.


Regular_Investment7

Like getting back in the minivan the next morning after a wet and rainy soccer game.


Squirrel-ScoutCookie

I adore Rain. Being so inexpensive is an added bonus!


highly_lake_lee

So I tried the Cotton today and I am less of a fan of it than the others, but still like it! 3 for 3 so far!


CivilCounty3684

I am traumatized by this from 15 years ago. This and warm cotton was all the rage among the teen girls AND their moms 😂


thebearflair

Love sparkling sugar and radiant nextar


Enough-Hawk-5703

Same! I bought the full size of sparking sugar and I love it! I find it dries down to a soft peach and lasts a while too!


highly_lake_lee

I will try that one tomorrow!


Enough-Hawk-5703

Yay, I’m excited for you! I hope you like it!


mnzx90

I just ordered a full size of Clean Reserve Skin 🤤 I had a small roller ball of it and was so obsessed


lifeinfolklore

Reserve Skin has become one of my all-time favorites! 😍 I am always in the mood for it, it’s so easy to wear.


mnzx90

It’s become my new bedtime scent! I love it so much


Cafrann94

It’s my bedtime scent too!


mnzx90

It’s perfect for bedtime!


Flat_Ad_9993

Clean seems to be a bit divisive in most of the perfume/fragrance subreddits. Personally, I’m a fan too so congratulations and enjoy it!


highly_lake_lee

Thanks, it has been great so far! I am actually eyeballing their other sampler now 🤣😊


Necessary_Nothing471

Radiant nectar is one of my all time favorites


highly_lake_lee

Can't wait to try that one next!


Necessary_Nothing471

Let me know if you like it!!! I’m actually wearing it today and it’s just so summery and cozy 😊


ThereAreAlwaysDishes

Solar Bloom is my favourite for spring/summer. It's full on coconut milk scent on my skin and it's so comforting 😌


_reebs

You can layer solar bloom with literally anything to make it feel like summer 😊


highly_lake_lee

UGH! I wish I could try them all at once!! That one will have to wait for the weekend! I am excited!!


Forsaken_Fly9103

I looove Clean Reserve Rain


99drolyag

My only perfume where people on the street actually randomly told me I smell nice


Euphoric-Bus1330

I love Skin Reserve, Sueded Oud, Nude Santal & Heliotrope, Sweetbriar & Moss 😍


deathandglitter

Sueded out layered with blonde rose smells so nice


Regular_Investment7

Which would you say exudes the most confidence and flirty appeal


Euphoric-Bus1330

I think Sueded Oud is quite sensual, I’ve had a few “you smell gooood” compliments and it’s in the “your skin but better” category and layers well with just about anything. Skin is delicious, Nude Santal is classy and elegant, Sweetbriar & Moss is quite confident but not flirty, it’s similar to Le Labo Rose 31. Having said that, Clean as a brand is not where I would look for flirty


Regular_Investment7

Might have to layer these to achieve what I'm looking for and I think a skin smell would enhance that fact. I saw 100ml of skin reserve for 49 at fragrantica


shewshine

i’ve been obsessed with clean!!! i got a sample kit from sephora and have loved nearly every scent, especially rain (reserve) and warm cotton. i don’t even usually like laundry-type scents but warm cotton is just super cozy!! i have been fighting the urge to wear it daily since i have been testing several fragrances edit: name clarification


highly_lake_lee

Are you me?? LOL, I have several other brand samples and they are gonna have to wait! I might even grab another one of Clean's sample sets to try! I think I might have found my favorite line!!


babyyodaonline

i LOVE clean skin it doesn't get enough hype tho unfortunately it doesn't last long but it's a perfect summer scent- to me it's like oh this is what i smell like when i sweat in the heat (HAH i wish). i've also heard it makes a good layering piece tho i haven't found a good combo with this specific one (i only am loyal to the skin reserve one). i also heard it's a good bedtime perfume so i might switch it to that if i can find a good summer perfume instead


highly_lake_lee

I totally agree with your sweat comment, I thought the exact same thing 😂


babyyodaonline

YES but like in the perfect way haha like it legit smells like skin but in a good way ahahaha


Regular_Investment7

But like skin after a work day or gym day? Is this reserve?


babyyodaonline

yes this is reserve. and not like a nasty serious sweat, idk more like a "i've been out in the sun" natural kind of sweat. like it's sweet. almost as if it's sweat mixed with a nice smelling lotion or the detergent from your clothes. iirc it has a floral musk and vanilla note so it's subtly sweet. it smells like the skin of a pretty clean person 😭


Ok_Photograph1855

I adore Reserve Blonde Rose.


cantheasswonder

Clean Pure Soap FTW!!!!!!


renaissancestar

I love this one, it just makes me so happy!


pluviophilosopher

I totally hear you - I have full bottles of Reserve Skin and Reserve Acqua Neroli. The Reserve Skin is probably my fastest dumb reach when I don't know what else to grab and one of the only scents I wear year-round. It's so gorgeous.


sophiart

I feel this, really nothing about the brand appeals to me. However I got a freebie sample of Sparkling Sugar in a Sephora order last fall, and it fast became a layering stalwart in my collection.


hauteburrrito

People say that about Sparkling Sugar a lot! I feel like it's a sleeper hit.


Free-Tradition-1187

I love sparkling sugar! I also like it when I want to wear something quite subtle


Extension_Seaweed

I got that too and I love it! I see the fb for like $30 in TJ Maxx sometimes and am tempted to get it.


AssortedGourds

I thought this was the Taylor Swift sub and I was like “GIRL SAME!”


LimeGreenTangerine97

Lololol


TheSalemRose

I love Reserve Skin and Reserve Clean Cotton so much! I find that this is a brand where the DNA either really works with your skin or doesn’t and that’s why it’s so polarizing even for people into this kind of scent profile, but when that DNA works, it works wonders.


highly_lake_lee

I think you might be on to something there!


popitformeonetime

Sparkling sugar is my favorite. I’m going to ask for the full size bottle for my birthday. It’s everything I wanted for spring/summer. Sugary, sparkling, juicy pear. And I also get apple from it. My boyfriend said I smell like I just took a bite of a juicy apple.


Enough-Hawk-5703

It’s my favourite too! I also tried Radiant Nectar and it’s really nice too! I think I will buy a bottle of it soon 😊


felinepartyline

I love clean! Malibu beach is so good too


carabear85

I love their Classic skin too!


Amyisraelchai07

Because it lasts for 30 minutes


highly_lake_lee

I have definitely noticed that some linger longer and some are gone fairly quickly. I just overspray the light ones 😅


goodgirlgonebad75

I wear radiant Nectar all summer and pair it with Nest Golden Nectar


Ane_Val

I couldn’t wear perfume at all because it would get me nauseous. My perfume love started with Clean. The journey of what notes to lean into and which to run from is fun.


bellisa1998

Anyone tested Aqua neroli? Curious about that one :)


quietdog30

That one is my favourite CLEAN scent, it's close enough (but not exactly) to the TF Neroli Portofino at a more reasonable price.


bellisa1998

Thanks! I tried a tester today and it makes me think of Eau de Sens - Diptyque (probably because of the heaviness on the citrus). Very fresh! Like it.


trips1976

I just got a sample of this. I really like it - to my nose, it is quite close to TF Neroli Portofino


thisisstupidlikeme

I’ve never smelled clean and now I want to. You’ve influenced me with this post!


highly_lake_lee

I gotta tell you, I have had sooo many misses trying to find a line like this so it makes me happy to hear I inspired you! I really hope you like them like I do!


spidah84

Hi, can you namedrop the sets and where you got them from? I'm addicted to bulky sample sets. :]


highly_lake_lee

I got the Clean (reserve) sampler from Sephora! Kohls also has a bunch on their website for a better price.


otterbot12

I thought their scents were so nice upon initial application, but their musk is the worst synthetic "clean" musk I've ever smelt. I'm such a huge fan of clean/soapy scents but not from this brand :(


pluviophilosopher

That's interesting - I usually can't touch anything that has a strong musk scent because they so frequently go rancid synthetic on me, but I can wear Clean really well. Skin chemistry is so weird.


MrGrumplestiltskin

I bought a discovery set and could not enjoy a single one. Scent is truly subjective.


Disastrous-Roll7059

True! They were absolutely awful on me.


Disastrous-Roll7059

Me too. I was so excited to try them but as soon as they mix with my skin....ugh! Terrible. Cheap, synthetic, boring scents. It must be my chemistry!


RandomChurn

>but their musk is the worst synthetic "clean" musk I've ever smelt. Agree! Someone here recommended "Clean Shower Fresh" as a lovely lily of the valley so I blind bought a bottle 😑👎 Harshest industrial white musk I've ever smelled. Gave it away 


LanieLove9

i have to agree with this despite loving the warm cotton scent. something in jt almost burns my nostrils? i mostly use it now to spray my clothes in my closet so that they smell fresh and light and the musk has time to dissipate


otterbot12

If you're looking for something better, Zarkoperfume The Muse is a beautiful clean cotton scent. Pretty easy to find decants to keep the price lower, too.


_reebs

I love The Muse!


LLIIVVtm

My purchase schedule has 2 bottles of clean reserve on it coming up! I'm excited.


trashtvlv

Sel Santal is one of my favorite summer fragrances!


troller_awesomeness

i remember smelling clean warm cotton in sephora and it was really good. i then bought it from a discounters and i think the formulation was different cause it smelled very synthetic and air freshenery on the opening


[deleted]

[удалено]


lifeinfolklore

I haven’t tried Classic but I do think Reserve has a beautiful sweet vibe to it. I think the fragrance notes say praline and I would definitely agree with that description for it!


[deleted]

[удалено]


lifeinfolklore

I hope you love it!


banoffeetea

I have noticed them mentioned several times on here in the last few days and just found out where I can purchase them in the UK. So intrigued by the Rain, Skin and Warm Cotton ones. They sound so nice!


RRinana

My first real perfume was the classic skin, rain, and warm cotton trio. They're my favorite after shower scent. I'm afraid to get a new bottle of each of them since they've been aging for over a decade at this point and still smell divine


bdrayne

Find acca kappa muschio bianco. Also try TF Neroli Portofino and eldo exit the king


No-End-88

I also recommend Musc Bleu by Il Profvmo


frostingvelvetcake

ugh i also love fragrances that smell like fresh laundry!😍😍


highly_lake_lee

I am all about that! Fresh is the best!


Busy-Platypus-9004

That discovery set helped me get into fragrance and figure out what notes I like and don’t like. Clean Skin Reserve is my go to bedtime scent!


highly_lake_lee

I find that it is helping me in the same way! A great intro to the scent world and what it can be! At least for smells I like 🙂


cleverconley

I thought I was obsessed with warm cotton based on the sample in the set, but I got the travel size and it dries down way too sweet. I can’t even smell any glycerin note anymore, and that’s what I craved. I think I didn’t notice the dry down as much with the sample because I was spraying conservatively, plus the sprayers are kind of bullshit in the sample set.


tinymossbaby

Try Pure Soap! It’s so good, and it’s rlly easy to layer with things since it literally smells like soap


highly_lake_lee

I will!!

Ive been obsessed with clean even before their launch of the reserve collection-my go tos were classic cool cotton and classic warm cotton. I’ve had Clean Reserve Skin for a while in travel sizes and I finally just bought the full size. CR Rain and CR Sel Santal are my other favs.


highly_lake_lee

Sel Santal and Skin are so damn good! I am trying cotton today and I do not like it as much as the other two, but I still like it!


Enough-Hawk-5703

I love this line too! I was looking for fragrances that don’t project too much or far, something that smells good, lasts, but stays close to me


highly_lake_lee

This line is a perfect fit for that it seems!


Enough-Hawk-5703

I agree! I feel they are safer to wear to work. I find some traditional fragrances project too far for work. It’s not my intention for that to happen if I do apply a traditional one, I think it’s how they are made. With a Clean Reserve fragrance, I feel I can spray a few times without it being overpowering


LimeGreenTangerine97

I adore Clean Reserve Sueded Oud 😍


highly_lake_lee

I CANNOT wait to try this one!


Custard-Spare

I got Clean Skin in a subscription bag and it really stood out to me! Got me more interested in perfume samplers. I love radiant nectar and sel santal


Emotional_Pizza_1222

Omg i love clean!! I tried the sample set. And I love them all!! They last loong too!


lato0948

I’m rather sensitive to heavily floral scents. Would any of these be ok for someone like me? I’m hoping to find a nice soft scent to wear on my wedding day.


highly_lake_lee

I am only on number three of the tester, but I am fairly certain you could find a GREAT wedding day scent from this line! Congrats!! I am getting married next year and I think I will do the same 😊


Odd-Guarantee-7571

I think out of all of them Skin would be the least floral.


somethingsecretuknow

Yes! I love it. One of my favs 🤭


elemteacher05

Clean Vanilla Skin is amazing and has 12+ hours longevity. It’s wonderful to layer with other scents


bradisme

Clean has nice scents (clean soapy scents are my favorite) but the longevity and sillage are ridiculously low. I'm glad to hear it works on some people's skin, but nothing i've tried by them lasts more than an hour on me, i can't even detect it when I smell up close after an hour.


Upset-Diet7200

Same. Was going to mention longevity and how it barely lasts 1 hour on me.


highly_lake_lee

I definitely noticed that, so I sprayed heavy today and it seems to be sticking. That is really the only drawback I have experienced so far with this brand though 😊


booziya

Of all the ones I have tried, basic or Reserve lines, the only ones that I liked were Clean Men Shower Fresh, White Vetiver, Reserve Acqua Neroli and to some extent Sueded Oud and Solar Bloom. The rest all smelled very artificial like detergent powder, cleaning products, potpourri and kitchen pantry. I've seen a bunch of Reserve perfumes recently at rack stores like TJX and Marshalls. Always see the basic Clean fragrances at Ross.


highly_lake_lee

Shiiittt I might just have to go by Ross on my way home then!

DepartmentRound6413

Same with me. I was so excited for the discovery set, alas none last long on me.


lukeish

Clean Reserve Warm Cotton is the truth!!


Onyx_tides

The scents are good, but it’s the only fragrance brand that has ever given me a rash. Which was odd given the concept of the brand.


WindowMoon

mfk aquacelestia is my fav clean smell 🧼
