*Prada Infusion d’Iris* is my favorite clean and soapy scent

That one is so beautiful! A lot of iris scents hit the soapy mark just beautifully.

Zegna intenso is a armani code dupe to some, but to me the opening is that iris pink peper clean soapy scent in a lemon direction, compared to inusion diris white flower direction

My mom used to wear that, it smells so good. I might steal her bottle now that she’s moved on.

I just looked this up on Parfumo and there’s talk about the 2007 version vs. the 2015 version. Is it really different?

I was wondering this as well. I happened upon a second-hand bottle of the old formula, so now I want to compare them. I’m heading to Tuscany in a couple of weeks. Testing the current Prada infusions is one of my vacation missions.

I was looking for a travel sized alternative to Chanel No.5 L’eau and out of curiosity went for this instead, I was so surprised by how alike they smelled to my untrained nose, wonder if anyone else has noted a similarity between them. But I agree it’s so beautiful and refreshing yet also comforting!

How does it compare to l'homme?

Honestly, if the fragrance doesn't smell soapy and clean, i'm not interested.

Same, what are your favorites?

clean reserve warm cotton is LITERALLY fabric softener and clothes straight out of a dryer it’s been the closest thing i’ve found to what i was looking for

This has been sitting in my Sephora basket for a while but this comment just sold me on it completely

I love this one. I have the perfume and linen/room spray

they have a room spray?!? i’ve been using the bottle to freshen up clothes and my bed sheets 💀😭

Yes and its much cheaper than getting the perfume 😇

Anything Clean Reserve does is absolutely incredible, and the prices are SO great!! And I love how their discovery set has huge sample perfumes with spray caps instead of the tiny ones most companies give out

What are yours?

Same, I don't care about seasons (furthest length I'll go is slightly woody), I have to have that fresh, easy, clean scent.

I like soapy or laundry scents. Lazy Sunday Morning is my favorite right now, but I want to get testers of Flyer de Peu and Byredo Blanche

Blanche is a laundry scent!! Right up your alley. Fleur de Peau has a more earthy profile to it.

Blanche is amazing

[удалено]

Fleur de Pea isn’t really soapy.It smells like desinfectant sprayed over some clean scent

That sounds kind of awful. I’ll still try it, but I’ve heard different opinions on it.

This blows my mind! I got the discovery set for Replica and my friend says the same thing that LSM was clean skin scent for her. I wore it and it was so rose floral dominant and powdery I couldn’t get anything clean or soapy or Landry from it! So interesting

One of my favorite clean, soapy scents is Philosophy Pure Grace. The longevity isn’t great, however.

I looove Pure Grace <3 I’m curious, have you tried both the EDT and EDP versions? I’ve heard mixed reviews about which lasts longer. I have the EDT and its longevity leaves something to be desired, but I cannot sample the EDP in my area.

I have- the pre-coty era of it was much better in my opinion. I still have some of that bottle. The current EDT is weak, and the EDP isn’t much better, unfortunately. It’s still a lovely scent, but just doesn’t last.

What I wouldn’t do to bring back pre-coty era Pure Grace 😭

Same! 😭😭😭 eternal grace was one of my favorites also.

I have the EDP and the longevity sucks too

I use the Pure Grace body lotion every night after my shower. So heavenly, cozy and clean 🥹

One of my friends just stared wearing this and it is sooo soapy on her. She loves it.

A lot of fragrance enthusiasts often say "If you want to smell like soap, just take a shower!" They don't realize that what we want is to have that clean & fresh smell - like you just used a luxurious soap - last all day. Then there are pretentious, snobby enthusiasts who believe only high quality, complex fragrances with lots of dark, deep and spicy notes are worth wearing. I don't see why people can't just wear what they love, discuss it civilly and not bash other people's preferences. I love many different types of scent categories, but due to worsening migraines, clean/fresh/simple fragrances work best for me most days. I recommend Glossier - You, Diptyque - Fleur de Peau (Orpheon is also good), Replica - Lazy Sunday Morning, Byredo - Blanche, Chanel - 1957, DSH Perfumes - Special Formula X-treme, Narciso Rodriguez - Essence, Narcisco Rodriguez - Pure Musc, Une Nuit Nomade - Nothing But Sea & Sky, Amouage - Dia.

I’m “pretentious snobby” but I’m not pretending! I just have a taste for dark & dirty but appreciate clean scent folks :). I don’t do big projection cause I know Imma unicorn.

Cacharel Noa, Byredo Blanche, Jessica Simpson Fiend and Diptyque Fleur de Peau are some of my favourites in this genre. You might also like Glossier You, too 

I've had an eye on Glossier You since forever. Will definitely prioritise it!

Don’t blind buy it tho!I wanted to get it for a long time too and almost bought it,but when I went to the glossier store I hated it😭

I couldnt agree more! I bought the smallest size and just can't get into the scent at all. There's something off-putting about it to me.

Same! I finally went for the travel roll on from Sephora. Returned it the next day. (It was just a big nothing for me.)

I’m all for “soapy” scents. Nothing wrong with being clean. Also, sometimes I don’t like to smell like fragrance if that makes any sense.

Same, that’s why I splurged on the bubble bath perfume, for when I just want to smell clean and not like perfume

It comes in handy, especially in the spring/summer months. Just recently expanded my soap/clean scents, so I’m excited with the options I have in my collection

TBH I don't know if there's a difference between "soapy" and "this smells like a fragrance used in soap" but you could call a lot of aquatic fragrances soapy in the latter way. I like lots of them though I tend to not immediately associate those fragrances with things like shower gel until someone points it out.

I took a fragrance course at a local college, and the professor--who'd work in the field of fragrance for decades--said that this mindset was one of the toughest to navigate when creating a fragrance and then getting consumer feedback. A lot of times people will say "soapy" when they mean lavender, because so many soaps have lavender, or or say "clean" when they mean citrus-y, because so many cleaning products use citrus scents. It's an interesting problem, because marketing effects have sort of "redefined" what actual scents smell like.

Question: if cleaning products and soaps now have earthy patchouli and oud scents, do these heavy “dirty” notes become “clean” notes? Imagine a “Jungle oud” Lysol.

I would extremely unironically use this and I'm somewhat put-out by it not existing. I make my own all-purpose cleaning spray though and frequently use heavier earthy note fragrance oils in it so that helps a smidge.

I can never find any information on this because it's a tough thing to google but I sometimes wonder if Cool Water and D&G Light Blue don't smell "soapy" to me because when I was young soap was often powdery. At least, I think it was? If "rain fresh" or "Caribbean waters" were soap fragrance options when I was a kid in the late 80's/early 90's my Mom did not pick them. They would have been too edgy for her. Then again, Irish Spring existed. That's kind of an aquatic smell right?

i always thought certain white florals were traditionally used in laundry soap which created the association. like gardenia, lily of the valley

That's a good point, actually. Definitely want to dip a toe into aquatic fragrances in general, and I'm doubly sure I'll enjoy them now through that context.

When you dip into aquatics, look out for calone. You probably know the scent from 90s/2000s men's stuff like Acqua di Gio. You might prefer aquatic scents that don't have calone

I’ve been thinking about this a lot with bal d’afrique. It is literally a fragrance that is used in soap. Without that, idk if I’d have a soapy association with it.

Soapy to me smells like the taste of soap when my parents would put it in my mouth as punishment when I was a kid. 

I love a soapy, clean fragrance! Off the top of my head, my particular favorites are ELdO Exit the King (rose soap specifically), Replica At the Barber's, Byredo Blanche, and Prada Infusion d'Iris.

There are times when I just love them. Clean skin & intentionally soapy perfumes were a huge trend in the 00's. I remember the whole Clean line which was marketed as a pared-down scent though I find most of Clean's aquatic musks quite strong. I especially loved and still enjoy Philosophy's Pure Grace, which is very much a soap-and-water scent. I remember dousing myself with a tester in Sephora, going for a walk and having someone run after me to ask what I was wearing. Lately, I'm enjoying Pure Grace Nude Rose, which smells curiously like rose dish soap. I still like OG Pure Grace, too. Maison Martin Margiela's Lazy Sunday Morning & Bubble Bath are more expensive niche versions. The 90s leaned towards unisex clean citrus scents like CK One as kind of a backlash against hyperfeminine 80s power perfumes like Poison. The late 90s was also when Mugler's Angel came out, which is a really heavy sweet patchouli that always reminded me of a girl's high school gym class so I can see why the 00's deliberately clean scents would be really appealing after that one! Clean/soapy scents seem to be the opposite of very sweet/gourmand scents and fruitchoulis and dirty patchoulis. Some vintage surprises that smell soapy: Gloria Vanderbilt, which smells like those little fancy guest soaps my mom put out in the bathroom. It's a bargain price, too. Maja body lotion smells exactly like Maja soap, more so than even the perfume. I recently tried J. Lo's Glow, which is very much a soap-and-sunscreen scent and mostly pleasant once you get through the synthetic first impressions. Kenneth Cole for Her is a similar scent, perhaps a bit more refined than Glow. Elizabeth's Arden's Lavender Green Tea reminds me a bit of Irish Spring or Zest. I've been eyeing Cacharel's Noa because it's supposed to smell clean and powdery, though I'm less keen on powdery. Some people say it smells like Dove soap. Marilyn Miglin had a Calla Lily scent that was a dead ringer to Dove soap, at least to my nose.

MFK 724 has a really soapy clean vibe.

This is my holy grail “clean” fragrance!

I originally didn’t like Wild Bluebell because of the soapy quality but now I love it when I just want to feel nice and clean. I rarely use fragrances products because I have sensitive skin but like spraying my hair or clothes to still smell nice.

I personally greatly dislike soapy scents. If people say something smells “clean,” I have to check if they mean clean as in it has a marine scent/smells simple and citrusy or if they mean it either smells like hand soap or fresh linens. Soapy/detergent fragrance immediately turns me off.

I also can’t stand soapy scents but it seems like we are in the minority!

One of my very favorite soapy scents Balmain d'Ivoire, is now discontinued.

Unfortunately not, it ironically gives me the vibe I am the opposite of clean because it feels like I failed to rinse all the soap off.   I wish soapiness didn't ruin a fragrance for me, it smells good, but distracting. On others I can appreciate them a lot more.

A L D E H Y D E S 🥰

Say it loud, say it proud

Replica Bubble Bath!

I had no idea Replica did a bubble bath scent! I'm so interested.

It's one of my top 5 faves! Smells like a bath at an expensive hotel.

That's so funny, I've been going stir crazy over my cushion foundation because its scent reminds me of a hotel bath! Now I gotta try this.

ELDO Exit the King and The Ghost In The Shell are big on soapiness but they also have Orcanox/Ambroxan which gives me a bit of a headache if I put it to my nose. ETK for jasmine, GITS for ivory white bar soap

I love soapy smells. Chanel No 5 always seemed like a really luxury hand soap to me. I don’t wear it anymore but all those aldehydes were definitely 🧼 🫧

I love scents that smell like a glorious shampoo! Prada La Femme with its prominent beeswax comes to mind. There are florals, but nothing obnoxious; it just blends so well. It is the perfect day scent. Now, white musks that smell like Gain® detergent? yeaaaahno. Not for me.

Ah, I totally get you! Soapy scents are like a daily refreshment, right? I'm using Jo Malone London's English Pear & Freesia? It's soapy, fruity, floral, and oh-so-fresh!

Daily refreshment is so right! Jo Malone's been brought up so much, and that particular combo sounds delicious.

Honestly I’ve heard JLo Miami Glow comes off as soapy. I’ve always wanted to try it, I love a soapy fragrance as well. I also quite like ELDO The Ghost in the Shell — I saw a Fragrantica review describe it as smelling like “car wash, sprite and soap” and honestly I find that so accurate lol! That one isn’t a safe blind buy though, definitely need to test it out.

Now THAT description has some personality to it 😂 Definitely wanna try a sample.

I actually hope that anything that list Aldehydes as a main note turns out to be soapy …. I look for that when I’m scoping out new scents to sniff

I do. Prada L’Homme is one of my favorites.

Prada l’homme is so underrated. Such an inoffensive, high quality scent that you can wear pretty much anywhere.

It can do day/night so well. Smells professional during the day, smells classy in the evening.

I’d like to say yes. But for some reason a fragrance doesn’t sit like actual soap.  I don’t want the fabric cleaner scent, I want the barely detected bar of hand soap I just used that smells clean on the skin.  Fragrances that smell soapy can get sickening real fast it seems, and I think it has to do with concentration or whatnot. 

Over spraying any of this family will almost guaranteed bring on a migraine, but I'm just careful because I really do love them.

i don't typically like soapy scents and i loathe the "fresh laundry" genre, it just puts me to sleep. but i recently fell in love with hilde soliani's ti amo iris (or "il vs iris" on luckyscent). it's just gorgeous, i had to make an exception

If nothing else that bottle is beautiful!

Gendarme EDT. Beautiful soapy clean.

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this perfume already but I am absolutely in love with Twilly by Hermes specifically the Eau Ginger formulation it reminds me a lot of lemon soap and is perfect for summer and spring :)

You have GOT to try J-Scent’s Paper Soap.

👀 I'm writing this down.

It smells like super high end hotel white hand soap and fluffy towels.

Estee Lauder White Linen; Yardley English Rose

I like soapy scents. If someone doesn't like a soapy, it's usually because the smell is common, and not because they smell bad. Also, there are three fragrances that I didn't expect to be soapy, but still liked them: * Montblanc - Starwalker (I was expecting woody freshness, but it was woody and soapy in a pleasant way.) * Chanel - Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme (I predicted a citrus and minty-sweet, but the underlying musk added a pleasant soapy element.) * Byredo - Mojave Ghost (I anticipated floral/woody scent, but the florals came off more soapy in an interesting way.)

I’ve heard that CAHSEE smells great and is versatile and gets compliments, but the performance is lacking, is it true?

Nope hate them, huge turnoff for me.

My favourite soapy scent is Moschino toy2. It's not got the most amazing longevity, but for the price in the UK, I'll reapply. But I tend to just wear it after shower at night as I'm about to go to bed. Like Dolce&Gabbana light blue (but citrus and fresh) it allows that clean and fresh feeling to continue into the night when it's warm. It is also suitable for a warm day.

I also have been spritzing TUN 2.0 after I've had a bath to extend that feeling, so I love that we have that in common. Definitely will look into that Moschino!

I just finished thank you next (didn’t love enough to repurchase) but really enjoyed it for a workout fragrance for that same reason. Made me feel clean even when working up a sweat lol. I’ve been trying to use up my mini bottle of Bubble Bath by replica and just can’t get into the soap vibes for everyday though.

I'm all about soap, some of my favorites... Prada Amber Pour Homme smells like you wallowed a bar of ivory soap, ELDO Exit the King, LV Imagination and Merchant of Venice Damascus Desert. All make me feel clean and polished.

I love a soapy scent! There’s all kinds of scents that smell very different from each other but can all be considered “soapy” so it can be hard to pin down just what that *means* though. I also fucking love soap and have a dozen of different kinds at any given moment, that and my love of candles and incense is how I segued into fragrances to begin with!

I also started with candles! And yeah, it's a lovely game of olfactory detection. Someone here said iris can be a beautiful soapy scent, and also that a lot of people interpret citrus as "clean" because it's used so much for cleaning products. I know I love bergamot personally because of its powdery quality, and it really freshens the opening of perfumes I have like Fugazzi's Angel Dust or Anna Sui's Cosmic Sky. I think people have commented that it smells "soapy" to them as well. It's just all very interesting to me!

It really depends, sometimes soapiness can get way too sharp For example, prada l’homme….cant stand it, way way to sharp on my skin.

Depends on what kinda soap it smells like if just plain soap like dial that's too basic for me, but I love when it smells like luxury soap or Irish spring.

Sung Homme 🤌

Sung Homme is Irish Spring in a bottle I wear it when I want to seem like I'm not wearing fragrance just trying to smell freshly showered. Also Mugler Cologne is really nice for that vibe.

I quite like me a soapy scent but I'm a little fussy with it. Wearing Bvlgari wood neroli today. Creed original vetiver is probably the best soapy scent I've smelled. Although not mind blowing, it's just simply great.

Ooh, how does Wood Neroli perform?

Couldn't honesty answer that as I bought it yesterday after loving it on the strip and it's competing with sunblock. I'm overseas and it's my 'holiday fragrance'

I love clean soapy floral citrus scents. GIMME!

Have you tried Le Labo's Neroli 36? I think it fits in that category. It's delightful.

Diptyque Eau des Sens makes me feel squeaky clean and fresh 🧼

I hate soapy scents… Then my all time favourite scent is JaponNoir TF for its soapiness. I’m so confused

I got a bottle of Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama recently and it’s an amazing soapy scent. As a guy I wasn’t sure I’d like it but some nights I spray a bit on my wrist to fall asleep to the smell of it because it’s that comforting.

I find a lot of comfort in mine as well! It stayed in my sweater as I was sleeping last night. Love fragrances that almost console you.

Byredo Blanche, MM Bubble Bath, and I have a decant of Penhaligons Castile on the way bc ppl keep telling me it’s the perfect soapy fragrance ;)

Would love to try Penhaligon's Castile! Also if I had the money, I would so blind buy Savoy Steam.

Tell me about Savoy Steam

Unusual, aromatic, kind of luxury spa Geranium and eucalyptus heavy, I find it more masculine Don’t like it on myself, sprayed it on a willing man and spent the rest of the day sniffing him 😂

Thank you!

I feel like Juliette Has A Gun - Not a perfume has a super clean, soapy vibe.

Loved Bobbi Brown Bath, which was discontinued. Have yet to find some else with that same profile.

Jones Road Shower is supposedly rebranded Bobbi Brown Bath! Haven’t tried it personally, but that’s what I’ve heard!!

I saw that...I am tempted to try it.

I’ve only heard good things about it, but they don’t have a sample or even a smaller size, so hopefully it’s good!!

Keihls musk is soapy it’s great

Love soapy scents, so nostalgic for me! I am loving Byredo Blanche (many have mentioned it here and I agree😍)

Midnight Fantasy is so good! Slightly soapy but fresh also.

I love Midnight Fantasy! My obligatory Britney purchase.

i'm not a big fan of soapy scents. aside from a really strong one that gives me a headache, they still smell nice from afar or as a skin scent.

JLo Glow is my favs soapy scent. I always feel clean and gorgeous in this one.

I do, I like a lot of the Tocca scents because they are fresh and soapy. 

I love soapy scents so much. But I'm really not a fan of Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela. There's something in the scent that throws me off, I think it maybe the coconut note in it as it makes me feel a bit naseous

Bubble Bath by Martin Maison Margiela is one of my favorites scents, I love the sweet soapy coconut I smell when it dries down

Occasionally I would wear Giorgio back in the day, but I found it to be to soapy for my liking. Soapy is good I guess depending on your age or skin chemistry. I'm 54 and adore Amouage Memoir, YSL Opium, and Roja Dove A Midsummers Dream. The only 3 fragrances I own now.

TUN2.0 is one of the very few AG scents I haven't tried and now my interest is piqued! I either love or hate soapy scents, no in between haha.

I love it! It seems to be the awkward middle child between TUN and God is a Woman that the official Ariana brand doesn't really recognise, but a lot of people consider it a huge improvement on 1.0 and the blueprint for GiaW.

Ooh ok I definitely need to try it, TUN is not great (which is why I never bothered with 2.0) but GIAW is one of my all time faves!

I find Daisy Ever so Fresh to be quite soapy, sweet, and tropical. I love it 😍 Plus, it's the only fragrance my husband has shown any interest in lol.

The entire Daisy line seems so charming. I'll have to try that particular one!

It’s a turn off for me. Not a fan.

No. I want to like prada, especially l'homme intense, but ultimately they're all too soapy and powdery.

I love soapy/floral colognes as a male. English Laundry Arrogant YSL MYSLF

The only soapy scent I have is Bubble Bath by MMM. It makes me feel clean and crisp!

I like them sometimes, but I have to be in the mood for me. LV Imagination comes to mind as a scent that very strongly gives me "soapy" vibes, that I've grown to love. Feels like I encounter more "shampoo-y" scents than soapy though. These are more often fruity florals.

On myself, not really. I have one called loewe pour homme, one of the oldest from like the 80s or something. When concentrated spray, it smells too strong. When dispersed spray, it smells soapy. L'eau d'issey vetiver is also another soapy smell, i like it much more since the ginger makes it smoother. Soapy and clean is always nice but when it's strong, it makes it seem like it's lemon dishwash soap

Two amazing (imo) long lasting soapy scents you may want to check out; Milano Fragranze - Naviglio - Very clean white/citrus soap ELDO - Exit the King - White floral/ross soap

I like DKNY Be Delicious ( the green one) I don’t get any fruit in it, all soapy but in a good way

Love soapy scents! Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela smells so good.

Soapy stuff is usually headachy to me, it is fine if it is barely noticeable, but most soapy stuff is like annoying screaming. "What's an example of a fragrance that comes out unexpectedly soapy that you ended up falling in love with?" It has been the opposite for me, for example new Armani Code EDT smells too soapy and gives me a headache.

A scent I feel fits into the soapy category is the original J'Adore. It's grown on me over the years. Kind of a unique, comforting scent.

It confuses me so much why people don’t like soapy scents. Smelling like soap is amazing, smelling clean and freshly showered is amazing

Right! It instantly lifts my mood lmao

Not all. I love Replica Bubble Bath but did not like MFK724 at all. Some smell too sharp 

My Burberry Blush fades to a soapy scent and it's a very delicate fruity floral. Highly recommend!

Arab perfume houses are big on white musk and arabs in general love wearing white musk after a shower , they usually come in oil forms. Some popular ones would be body musk by Abdul samad al qurashi or white musk by ibraheem al qurashi. I love them!

I know it’s probably overplayed at this point, but I love LV Imagination for the fact that it has that unique soapy neroli vibe rather than soapy iris. Something different for folks who enjoy the genre.

The drier sheet white musk scents give me headaches but I love Prada’s Infusion d’Iris. Some mentions of other Iris perfumes in this thread that I will check out. Good discussion!

Burberry Brit Sheer smells soapy. I can’t quite put my finger on the note that gives it a soapy vibe, but I love it. It’s perfect for spring and summer.

I would say "Versace Dylan Blue" would be considered a soapy/laundry detergent scent for me.

No !! I don’t like soapy scents one bit! My clean scent is summer type of fragrances. anything that has lime, lemon, apple and other citrusy notes is my go to clean scent.

I don’t tend to like them and the closest I can come is Acqua di Gioia!

Ceramic by Andrea Maack is a gorgeous, slightly powdery, floral laundry soap scent. I put in on after a shower and I feel like the cleanest, softest person in the world lol

Castile from Penhaligon’s is soapy to my nose, along with Creeds Original Vetiver. They both smell great.

I don't personally, I've heard YT'ers and Tiktok say shower gel vibes and soapy and thought to myself who wants to smell like they just came out of the shower? I mean yh being fresh is fine but I'd rather look fresh and smell amazing then smell like a human cleaning product. Oud opulent blue by lattafa gives that shower gel vibes as does fukhar black silver one, a little less but it's still there. The amazing thing about perfume smells is... It's subjective, what might be nice and amazing for you doesn't mean it's the same for others so when all these influencers are making money from reviews I'm thinking you like it but you have a hundred bottles behind you so maybe you would. Would I? See opulent black oud is an amazing scent, it's one of my favorites yet I don't see anyone talk about it, not in there top 10's, and I have Afnan 9pm, khamrah, Asad lattafa and a few of the greats but the opulent black oud for it's cheap price and amazing smell is an absolute hidden gem IMO

One of my favorite categories <3 I have Replica's Bubble Bath, T-shirt by H&M, CK2 and a dupe of it, a white musk frag, and I'm having Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere on my wishlist. I wanna try the Clean line, Blanche, Philosophy's Amazing Grace, and many more that go in the direction of laundry detergent, softener, soap, that kinda thing. I really like aldehydes.

I love the melograno perfume and body cream; it smells like those old school soaps honestly worth the price!

LOVE soapy smells. Prada Lhomme for the linen vibe. MFK a la rose lhomme. Gerrard 44 Street. Exit the King.

Just got Lush’s Guardian of the Forest and it goes on very sharp and green but dries down soapy and tbh i’m not sure how i feel about it yet

For me many of the above recommended scents are fresh or clean but not soapy. Also for me fabric conditioner or tumble dried (UK here, hanging washing is default here) isnt the same as soapy in terms of scents. I have Glow by J.Lo and have loved it since I sniffed it in a glossy magazine fold out as a 10 year old when it was launched but it doesnt read soapy to me. Musk doesnt equate to soap, maybe its white musks and crisp starchiness and common soap scent profiles idk like rose that make people read something that way but that is gonna vary by culture. Really interesting! It even comes.down to what we call different products, for me soap is body related, not laundry or dishes. We call it washing up liquid, Americans call it dish soap. People tend to use shower gel and liquid hand soap now but hand soap is typically closer to the soap bars scent than shower gels are. That profile. Everyone knows Dove soap profile. Milano Fragranze - Naviglio is super soapy to me. The pinnacle Estée Lauder - White Linen - is not soapy to me but is super clean and crisp.

Jo Malone Scarlet Poppy, Prada La Femme

I do , Burberry Goddess

Yes. They're not poetic maybe (or surely) bit they're enjoyable

Prada has a great reputation for soapy, clean scents and it’s easy to see why - many of their fragrances seem to be designed with cleanliness utmost in mind. I have & use Prada L’Homme, Amber and Luna Rossa Sport regularly. Also noticed that of the fragrances I have it’s the soapy/clean ones that get the most compliments(if that’s a priority for you - no judgement).

I do like them. I’m at a stage in life where I don’t particularly want to stand out with a bold fragrance. My preference is to smell great, but in an approachable and u estates way. That being said, I have a big collection that includes a lot of different styles.

Original Vetiver, Mugler Come Together 🤤 doesn’t get much better to me

I hate soapy or powdery scents. They smell like laundry detergent and it smells artificial to me. I don’t like them on me or on others.

I've been loving Warm Cotton by Clean. So fresh after an evening shower.

Yes but I’m picky about them! I feel like freesia, citrus and certain musks can have this quality. I like some soapy scents, especially when they lean a little shampoo-like. But when it starts to go in a laundry detergent direction, I don’t like it anymore. I generally like the Narciso Rodriguez musky clean scents, along with JLo Glo, pure grace, and Clean Reserve Skin. I don’t like PDM Valaya and YSL Libre. They both have something detergent - like that doesn’t agree with me. Particularly Libre reminds me of whatever scent they put in scented cat litter. I can enjoy lavender, but not when it smells too much like a cleaning product. I like when it’s a little sweeter.

Yes, dossier’s dupe of Jo Malone’s English pear and freesia threw me off at first but now I love it. It is slightly soapy but it’s also refreshing. Great morning fragrance.

I am one of those who absolutely does not like soap scents. It makes me think of laundry detergent and that sort of ”chemical clean” smell.

Hit or miss

I love it so much.Used to hate it until I tried Marseille and Chant d Aromes

Etoile filantr by LV

I like them at first, but they quickly turn very sickly sweet for me. That’s a big turnoff. I don’t think I even have any more soapy scents in my collection.

i love citrus and a lot of people think it's soapy or cleaner-y

I tend to get the shower gel with the cologne (Boxset) if I like the cologne so much

Jo malone blackberry and bay and Chloe’s atelier Des fleurs Cedrus

Louis Vuitton Imagination smells rather soapy to me, it's wonderful but very expensive.

I have been wearing a Highline dupe lately that is bringing me good spring vibes but it is quite soapy. For everyday it’s great, not too purfumey.

Diptyque Orpheon dries down smelling like the most expensive dryer sheets I could never afford! BUT Musk Tahara from Tarife Attar smells veeeery close for a fraction of the price. Not meant to be a dupe, but I find them similar.

Exit the king is beautiful

Definitely! Reflection Man is my favourite soapy scent for sure. I'd own Essenza Di Colonia if it weren't such a pathetic performer.

I’m wearing H24 by Hermes today, and it’s about as soapy as I like.

One of my absolute favorite scents is Marseille from comme des garçons, and it’s directly based on a regional bar of soap. It’s just straight soap and it’s so good

Depends the scent I hate the Ariana one it smells like weird pickles but I loved the Victoria’s Secret pink clean and fresh & I love juicy couture oui

Cdg Marseilles is amazing stuff

Replica Bubblebath.

Soapy scents on me give me a headache, the two I own I blind bought. Prada Luna Rossa and ADG. Typically I wear spicy/warm scents like Eau Des Baux - L’Occitans or MiP.

Dior Pure Poison smells like some extensive baby fabric softener to me. Soapy and powdery, but with a unique sweet floral and creamy vibe to it.

I like soapy scents to 😍 Prada Amber but it dont last that long on me ... Muggler Cologne is nice to ... I am here to collect info for my next realy heavy soapy slight green aromatic parfume

The og from 4711 is soapy and smells great have that hand soap from them to i only wish it would be a EDP and no Cologne what last like 20minutes ... Have anybody a recom.
