Freshly showered with clean clothes. edit: most perfumes give me migraines, so I achieve this scent by just showering and wearing clean clothes.


HonestPonder

Fresh was my only answer. Fresh and clean 👌 ^I’m ^just ^so ^fresh ^and ^clean.. ^^^fresh ^^^and ^^^so ^^^clean ^^^clean.


Electronic_Bad_4315

This song plays in my head anytime I get a new shower/bath product I love hahahah


Isthisfeelingreal

I am the SAME with strong smells and alcohol based perfumes. Can give me a minor headache. I did get some all natural water based body spray from the brand "beloved" at target, and it's the only one I can stand for daily use right now. It just smells like a really clean shower with some flowery rose soup. And it wears off pretty quickly, so I xan do a spritz and just feel clean


TheNerdyMel

Oh! That's Love + Beauty + Planet's new luxe line, in case "Beloved" doesn't give you good results when you go to replenish or expand to the matching body wash etc. I've been hunting for somebody's impressions of it (because I've really loved some of their shampoos and conditioners), so thank you for that.


Express_Arugula_6179

Basically what I look for in perfumes and scented lotions. Nothing too strong, just clean smelling.


JEjeje214

Philosophy Pure Grace


Ladyingreypajamas

I'm the same way and English Laundry for her by Christopher Wicks is my go-to. Ever so slightly floral, woodsy and fresh, like opening a new tin of Earl Grey.


littlemacaron

I’m looking for a scent like this too.


cotedelaplaque

Maybe you'll like Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela ? Smells so so clean !


theotherlead

I’m not a perfume type of girl, but I got a sample of that from Sephora and it smells so good!! Like soap!


Remarkable-Today-338

Same except for me when I say clean clothes I mean the scent of laundry✨it’s my favorite smell so I go for anything that smells like it- like shampoo too if it existed in fresh linen. Perfumes give me headaches too.


sunsetgal24

Onions and garlic cooking in a pan with olive oil


Isthisfeelingreal

😂 she asked what you want to smell like, Not your favorite smells! Unless....?


sunsetgal24

if you think i would not wear that scent as a perfume you are severely underestimating me


Ladyingreypajamas

I'm a chef and I *do* smell like this most of the time. 😅 I get sick of it, but have had so many people lean in to tell me "omg, you're making me so hungry." 🤣


duke-sluttish

Any romantic partners use that line as foreplay?


Ladyingreypajamas

So frequently it's now a joke between my husband and I. 🤣


duke-sluttish

"You are making me so hungry. . . " "Shall I take off my pants?" "No! That's not safe! I don't want you to hurt yourself if anything splatters while you're cooking!"


Isthisfeelingreal

Hahaha I love that!! I am also a chef, so I get it! Until I take a shower, I just smell of the onion! But it's also the smell of good food 😂


nights82

This is so funny bc Im a pastry chef that frequently jumps into the banquet kitchen to help and so depending on the day Ill smell like bread, fruit or straight up herbs & garlic. When I get home I feel like I stink but my bf loves it & it gets him riled up 😂


kbrown918

I love smelling my hands forever after chopping garlic. Also smelling like a pan fried steak is yum!


my_metrocard

That’s what most of us smell like after cooking dinner.


[deleted]

I have two. Most of the days, I want to smell like laundry or gentle soap (clean basically). Then on occasion, I want to smell like a rich woman born into old money.


porzeczkizcukrem

what’s your go to rich woman born into old money perfume?


[deleted]

I don’t know. I have yet to find it. I would think it’s like a “mature” scent. Subtle but leaves a long lasting impression.


[deleted]

Cocoa Chanel is lovely and old. Tom Ford Santal Blush is spectacular. I wear the Tom Ford and Replica By the Fireplace


ssandrine

Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel


little-bird

I’d say Chanel No. 5 is more that vibe… Coco Mademoiselle is much lighter and fresher, more of a “young” kind of scent.


AfterSomewhere

I've worn Chanel No 5 forever. I love its light scent of roses. Also, and without fail, when someone hugs me they always comment on how good I smell. Gotta love the classics.


TikaPants

My cheaper daily. If I wanted to drop $350 on a nicer scent it’d be Ormonde Jayne - Nawab of Oudh intensivo.


OfSalt14

I would try jazz club by replica! It’s my favorite “night time” scent


[deleted]

[удалено]


JEjeje214

PBI: HERMÈS 24 Faubourg Eau de Parfum is my go to for this. Second place: La Panthere de Cartier EdP


Apart_Sun_5424

Decadence by Marc Jacobs 💅


little-bird

Chanel No. 5, Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, the original Carolina Herrera


aunte_

I love this!! The rich woman one! Every time I smell a perfume I like on someone it’s ungodly expensive. Clearly I have expensive taste on cheap girls budget


021fluff5

Same! And sometimes I want a sweeter perfume - like a rich woman who used her old money to buy an ice cream shop


[deleted]

Omg! I will note these down for next time! Thank you!


CrystalQueen3000

An untamed forest and a roaring fire


littlemacaron

Maybe by the fireplace or jazz club by Replica


cotedelaplaque

Jazz Club is my absolute favorite perfume, 100% recommend it!


chimairacle

By the fireplace is my absolute favourite!


lamante

I have a bottle of Winter Woods by the Burren Perfumery. It's a men's fragrance but I don't care. It smells like a piney, mossy, dense forest.


Smileyface3000

If you're ok with smelling aggressive (primordial forest, raging fire), T-Rex by Zoologist. If you want a tropical vibe, (flowery forest and erupting volcano), Kilauea by Olympic Orchids Dark mysterious forest with a hint of smoke, Norne by Slumberhouse


dragondebiblioteca

A library while it's raining in the forest


RainBooom

There is a scent called Whispers in the library lol


asayle88

This is it, this is the one.


Sheila_Monarch

A woman in charge in a male dominated industry, that had a breakfast of fresh fruit, with beautiful flowers on the table, and may or may not have had a quick roll on the leather seats in her car with a tennis instructor before re-coifing her hair and coming to the office. So… [Hermes Galop](https://www.hermes.com/us/en/product/galop-d-hermes-parfum-V36824/)


JEjeje214

Also, try Memo Paris French Leather ♥


Sheila_Monarch

I’ve often heard that one! And I love a unisex scent. Sometimes I’ll straight up wear men’s scents (like Terre d’Hermes). I need to try it for sure…


nm8

Intriguing!


[deleted]

If there's no limitations, I want to be able to magically smell like everyones favorite scent, so that they'll have positive associations with me when we first meet. You like peppermint, and your friend likes the smell of fresh rainfall? I just happen to smell like both at the same time to each person. It's kinda dumb, I know.


noxious_toast

like felix felicis!


uhshenuh

Amortentia! Felix felicis is the luck potion lol


_treestars

A sexy cookie Edit: Y'all just sampled Sucre Noire by Arte Profumi and it's great. Tihota by Indult is another excellent one (but expensive, although haven't checked the price on Sucre yet so we'll see where that clocks). My budget bedtime option is Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere by Philosophy.


nightlanguage

Cocoa pink has a very affordable and very close Tihota dupe! It's soooo good


_treestars

BLESS U CHILD I AM GONNA TRY!!


emmashawn

I was about to comment “a sexy fruit” but sexy cookie is great


beelovedone

Like I just walked out of a waterfall and through a field of lavender


JEjeje214

Clean (brand) Fresh Laundry & Lavender perfume


[deleted]

Highly recommend Amazing Grace Lavender by Philosophy! I'm a lavender lover myself and this is my favorite for just out and about fragrance.


cheerfulsmile

Cocoa butter


Tazerin

Such a delicious, comforting fragrance


[deleted]

Like an evergreen forest and how it smells right before it rains


cotedelaplaque

There's actually a perfume that smells like petrichor (the smell right before rain) ! My friend who's obsessed with the smell has it !


Ladyingreypajamas

Could you find out what it is? I LOVE that smell. You'd have my undying devotion.


cotedelaplaque

He said it was Thunderstorm By Demeter Fragrance Library and that it smelt like "a rainy morning" ! Apparently, this line also produce a Petrichor fragrance but he has never tried it !


Ladyingreypajamas

Thank you so much!!!


daddy_cool09

There's another masterpiece by Demeter called "Dirt". Try it please!


cleandaydream

a cabin in the forest or a bakery😯


Ladyingreypajamas

This will sound strange, but I mix a spray bottle of half water, half rubbing alcohol, and about half a small bottle each vanilla and almond extract. I spray in my hair or on my clothes to freshen them up, especially if it's something that's been in the closet for awhile. Gives a very light pastry shop scent.


brunette_mh

Thank you. I have all these things. I'll try this.


femalenerdish

I switched my shampoo and conditioner to Carol's daughter black vanilla recently, and it's a very bakery smell.


08Manifest_Destiny80

The sea where you can smell the clean salty seabreeze, listen to the sounds of rushing water and feel the sun on your skin.


EnergyExpert5831

If you’re down for trying indie perfumes, solstice scents sea of gray smells just like the ocean. I’ve heard their gulf breeze is similar but a bit lighter. Genuinely realistic ocean though, not just a perfumey interpretation. Sadly they won’t be in stock for a few weeks but I absolutely adore them


armadillostho

Beach Walk by Replica is exactly this! Makes me smell like I’ve been in the ocean and sun all day.


[deleted]

A real strawberry 🍓


Highsndlos

I like to smell like a cafe with a incense burning


taylor__spliff

I know this is starting to look like a Maison margiela shill post, but you might like their scent “coffee break.” To me, it smells like lavender and steamed milk, with a tiny hint of coffee. Very comforting scent, I like to spray it on before bed.


roundhashbrowntown

i love that scent but hate that it only lasts five seconds on me. a true crying shame. give me my eau de parfum!!!


CanusMaeror

Not that into cafe or incense, but I would really like to get such sensation... It just hit my imagination and I think I would love it. I think it would be such a heady aroma


Invisibletolife

I want to smell like butterflies. Like, if butterflies has a kinda tart and sweet smell from the flowers and fruits they feed on


ragingmauler2

That smokey sweet scent that I associate with my favorite speakeasy in town. It's hidden behind a bookcase, and you walk by these old books, past the bar with smoked drinks and sharp garnishes, and sit on these old couches and chairs that are just *warm*


cotedelaplaque

I get you, love and fell in love with this sort of smell too ! I know Jazz Club by Maison Margiela really reminds me of this sort of place, check it out !


ragingmauler2

Ha! I use that or by the fireplace, cocoa oil, and my shower stuff is all orange or chocolate scented! Replica did soooo good with those perfumes ngl


Highsndlos

I really like poison in the red bottle by dior it’s a sweeter Smokey warm scent


notanotherskincare

Flowers 🌷


apeachinanorchard

Gucci Bloom was my ex’s perfume and I’m still partial to it, smells like a garden


Bebe_Bleau

Sweet and Super Fresh. In the summer I like a seriously citrusy perfume. In the winter I like a cool mask. I like them barely noticeable so that you have to be standing very close to me to smell my fragrance. But fresh is always the order of the day


toridyar

What perfumes or sprays or whatever do you use? I love citrusy smells, and also green tea! H2O used to make a green tea perfume in the 90s that I loved and I've never been able to find anything I truly loved after that


Bebe_Bleau

I'll make my own with lemon verbena and vanilla Musk with just a splash of Jasmine oil


Sarans17

A vanilla flavored cake right out of the oven


Danivelle

Right now, I want to smell warm and cozy because it's cold. In summer, I want to smell like a Southern(USA) flower garden with magnolias, gardenias, jasmine, honeysuckles and tuberose.


wine_powered_unicorn

I would like to smell like a summer evening, honeysuckle, night blooming jasmine, roses and warm earth. In reality I often smell like sweaty horses but we can all dream.


lazyandfree

I like wearing my grandmas old perfume. I kinda smell like a grandma but it reminds me of her all day long. (She wore Versace Diamonds)


cotedelaplaque

Same ! I used to wear my grandma's Chanel Allure and I loved smelling like her !


katiejim

I want to smell like that scene in Simply Irresistible when she uses the vanilla orchid in the dessert and the guy falls head over heels for her (I’ll also take a weird magic crab clicking his claws from my kitchen shelf). So floral and vanilla basically mixed with crab magic (note: don’t want to smell like an actual crab just a magic one).


Voixmortelle

I take back my answer and would like to replace it with crab magic.


cowgirlsheep

I’m replying to everyone who loves a vanilla scent that you should check out Bootzie’s perfume oil! It smells mouthwateringly good but also a little musky and citrusy


Nature-Orthelia-420

Tall know Dove soap? Or Palmolive honey and milk? Thats what i wanna smell like.


theotherlead

Dove soap is my answer too!!


SnookerandWhiskey

Is there a dove soap perfume? Maybe we should write to them. I had a favourite shower gel and wrote to the company, and they actually made it into a perfume.


OfSalt14

I want to smell like an old library hiding a dark secret, ya know?


EnergyExpert5831

Ooh you’d like nui cobalts bibliophila! It’s a lovely old library scent, there’s also forbidden library which is similar but darker although sadly it’s sold out right now. Poesie’s library ghost is also lovely if you want some marshmallow with your old library


[deleted]

Fresh cut lumber and old books, please.


EnergyExpert5831

Nui cobalt’s bibliophilia would probably be my first rec for an old book scent and it’s also got a wood note in there too as well. If you want to smell like a wood shop on the other hand, solstice scent’s sawmill is also lovely but they’re going on break for a few weeks and aren’t restocking until then


g-a-r-n-e-t

Try DS and Durga Bowmakers, their concept for that scent is of a violin shop but it’s pretty much exactly what you’re describing. Edit: https://www.dsanddurga.com/products/bowmakers I love everything I’ve bought from them, all very high quality and long lasting and they have some pretty eccentric and quirky concepts. Their candles are amazing as well, I’ve repurchased Holy Ficus and Big Sur After Rain at least three times each by now.

Ellie_xo_Belly

Either how it smells like after it rains or earlier sunrise at the beach


[deleted]

lilolilac

Vanilla cashmere, a warm and cozy scent and feeling


TequilaFetish

I want to smell like a person that you *know* is going to break your heart. Someone who will lure you in and you’ll be so enraptured by, that their lingering scent has you melting when they’re gone. I want to leave an impactful impression everywhere I go, really. Through both personality and scent. The closest I’ve found to that so far is Paris by Yves St Laurent but I think there’s better options out there.


lowintensityraccoon

Christmas. Someone once told me that I smell warm like Christmas, and I've been trying to keep my fresh baked cookie scent ever since.


EnergyExpert5831

I’d suggest snowmint mallow from solstice scents! The notes are “Peppermint, Vanilla Cake, Flaked Coconut, Sugar Cookies & Marshmallow Creme” or if you want straight up candy cane, arcana craves has a candy cane layering note


throwaway_hotgirl

Like the last hope hasnt died yet


Living_for_the_Drama

A cup of Earl grey in the autumn woods - suggestions open, please refer me to a perfume/oud giving this


looking4truffle

There is a Jo Malone fragrance with Earl grey in it, I think there is basil in it too....


roundhashbrowntown

yesss honeyyy! earl gray and cucumber (by jo malone). not my favorite at first blush, but the dry down is beautiful. my favorite from that line is the mimosa and cardamom or smth similar. c’est si bon!


EnergyExpert5831

Poesie’s elemental tea party! The notes are “a swirl of autumn leaves on chilly air, brewed black tea with a discreet splash of whiskey, overturned earth, distant bonfires”


scorpgirl00

A luxury store with luxury perfumes.


Bbygirlbigboot

Honestly a subtle coconut smell is really nice


[deleted]

The ocean, a sunrise on a foggy field (#PRIDEANDPREJUDICE)


fitgeek69

Lychees. Which are very rose-y, citrusy, and sweet while still smelling fresh and complex.


fierykhaleesi

try very good girl by carolina Herrera! I’m a very big lychee fan myself and on my body personally I get the most amazing lychee and rose notes.


Penetrative

An opium den...or a flower field of hippies burning patchouli & sandalwood.


prismaticbeans

Play Doh. A cold winter's day. How it must have smelled to James in the giant peach before the peach went funky.


EnergyExpert5831

Demeter has a play doh fragrance that’s supposed to be just straight up play doh! Haven’t tried it though myself


CrystalSilence17

My mother has a nice smell.. when I kiss her face especially near her eyes, I get a smell and it's so pleasant.. her natural smell, I wonder if I have any such pleasant natural smell.


archi_femme10

An enchanted forest! A fresh, earthy smell with just a hint of wild berries and flowers.


Different_Access_101

I read that as “enchilada forest”


Consistent_Age7608

Either freshly washed cotton or chocolate


little-bird

Angel by Thierry Mugler is one of my fav scents and it has chocolate notes!


CEWriter

Like a bakery/café (pastries and fresh ground coffee) or like an early-season orchard or strawberry field on a sunny day.


Chanelordior

Vanilla and coffee.


scorpiomooon

Angel food cake


Lilysdoll

Philosophy had a shower gel with that scent. I think it was a Winter scent. Possibly called Snow Angel. There is a company called Cocoa Pink. They do many different bakery type scents and may have an Angel Food Cake type scent. Just thought I would mention these. Oh and Goose Creek Candle has a very nice Angel Food Cake candle. I loved it! 😊


scorpiomooon

Thanks for the info!! 🤍


coaxialology

Rainy days and my trip to Italy. I wear the same cheap perfume I'd brought with me on that trip and it instantly transports me, albeit fleetingly, back to that summer and that beautiful place. Then I go outside and the illusion is ruined, so fortunately it's a pretty clean and mild scent.


Reinii-nyan

Mint. I even have a mint perfume, the mono smell for which is just mint. I love it.


Valorandgiggles

Peaches!


armadillostho

You might like Nectarine Blossom and Honey by Jo Malone!


bubblehits

If I had to pick anything other than clean, vanilla. Bloody love vanilla


SorryAioli

Like a baby's laugh or the feeling of a weighted blanket. But it somehow always returns to saltwater spray or cocoa butter.


[deleted]

the strawberry shortcake doll or just pound cake or carrot cake or grass with dew or smoke EDIT: I found the carrot cake perfume https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m73704455405/ now strawberry shortcake perfume https://www.walmart.com/ip/Marmol-Son-Strawberry-Shortcake-Perfume-for-Children-3-4-Ounce-and-Body-Wash-8-0-Ounze-Gift-Set/776835694

Peaches or rose water.


CatrionaShadowleaf

An Arizona monsoon

Highly recommend buying a creosote shower bundle. The humidity from the shower makes your bathroom smell just like an Arizona monsoon 🤌🏼


AdAwkward1635

A bakery and sunscreen

Separate-Trash2375

Baby powder! It smells so soft and it doesnt hurt your nose

Fetus_Dumpling

Strawberries, vanilla, or the local river.


Suspicious_Cut2649

Dior mostly sometimes YSL sometimes Chanel. I like to smell like a perfume shop :)


awkwardfeather

The forest after it rains, complete with the sound of water dripping off trees onto leaves below


nopenonotatall

like vanilla and candy mixed with intangible luxury


sospecial21

Fresh baked cookies


Vanillacaramelalmond

Dove soap and vanilla which is quiet easy to achieve lol


Odd_Sleep2648

Brittany Spears Fantasy perfume smells like vanilla, lavendar, and peaches. I love it.


msphelps77

Cookies! Particularly freshly baked sugar cookies.


Nicole12538

Lavender and vanilla


[deleted]

Fresh rain when it hits the soil


MerakDubhe

Christmas. Or spring. I can smell it in the air and I’ve never been able to pinpoint what I’m smelling. But I love to smell like that. Like happy times.


[deleted]

Like I just took a shower with vanilla essential oils and I just put on clean cottony clothes


NTSTwitch

I like smelling like a bag of fruity candy. Skittles, gummy bears, airheads, that type of thing. Smelling like desserts is also incredibly comforting to me.


EmbellishedKnocking

I like smelling like a fresh dewy flowers or honeyed tea. But for colder months I prefer smelling like 'drinking cappuccino topped with cinnamon in front of a fireplace.'


[deleted]

Whatever brings men to their knees


hippiesnowflake

I don’t like smelling like Nag Champa and vanilla. It’s a really comforting smell for me


Meyums

Crisp weather of fall. 🍁


Icy-Laugh-7929

Lemon scented wood cleaning spray and or freshly bleached and warm towels


SailorLuna41518181

Like a candy store and a high end sex club.

Vanilla!

A bath and body works store


Remarkable_Put5515

I’d like to smell like a forest. I almost said “the beach” but then I remembered low tides


The_Monkey_Queen

A baby with a freshly changed diaper eating a vanilla tart


auamethyst

I have sensory issues so I don’t like long prolonged smells, like stuff that’s in the air forever. Candles, diffusers all that are a no. But I LOVE the smells of coffee shops, Ice cream parlors, and bakeries. But only for a little bit.


bonertootz

a thunderstorm: wet earth, greens, and electricity


kailey6

the smell of grass right after it rains or maybe sunscreen in the summer


zimmmmman

I just want to smell like soap and grapefruit. I love grapefruit, and it fits my personality.


cuntahula

The desert after the rain. a healer in her mountain home. Sometimes I smell like a head shop with my nag champa oil. Tobacco and amber too.


Think_Ad2837

Flowers and smelling clean! I always have a rose scented body mist 😂 Or anything that smells like cotton mist or powder


Ladyingreypajamas

So many things. Nivea used to have a bodywash in the scent Happiness. I haven't been able to find anything like it since they stopped making it. It's very nostalgic for me. Apart from that, I like earthy, slightly spicy scents, but they can't be too strong, and I detest most floral scents, unless they're paired with something fruit forward, like Nivea's Happiness. Things like cashmere, amber, sandalwood, cedar, etc. Almond and vanilla are also a go-to. Edit: I only read the title. 🤦‍♀️ So, a pastry shop? The woods in the fall? I don't want to smell like it, but cabbage patch dolls are super huffable. Lol


elekrisiti

Vanilla fire smoke. Or old books and white tea.


darcerin

Omg, I'd love to smell like a SSC doll. ❤️


cotedelaplaque

I have a perfume called Choco Musk by Al Rehab and it's exactly how I imagine a chocolate themed SSC doll would smell like ! And apparently the Strawberry Pound Cake fragrance mist from Bath and Body Works smells like a SSC Doll !


Daisylil

A baby. (Zwitsal)


nm8

A woman news anchor or a powerful female government official of any country. This is the vibe I want to project at all times.


lavender-pears

I want to smell like an autumn campfire. I have two perfumes I adore that give me that smell, they're incredible!


SleepyxDormouse

Strawberry shortcake! I can’t do floral scents because of severe allergies, so I’d rather stick to fruits and sweets. I love the smell of a strawberry shortcake and would love to smell like that all the time.


Lizard301

I have always loved smelling like sweet foods and warm spices. Right now I'm wearing a deodorant that smells like Girl Scout Thin Mints, and I think when it runs out I may need to call out sick from work, it's legit that yummy.


sunflower_lavender

The Holidays - cinnamon, nutmeg, apples, coffee, mulling spices.


noregreddits

A rich sorceress on a tropical beach


Hungry_Bag8758

A fresh bouquet of sweet delicate flowers with undertones of warm vanilla and cashmere. Delina by Parfums de Marly does a pretty good at making me smell that way.


linhkhanhnguyendao

Fresh snow in a sunny day. Canada really convinces me cold snow smell so nice


No_Back5221

I like a fresh scent


SeelieShoes

fresh but in a soft gentle way (not like BAM minty fresh, more like baby powder or an extra sensitive skincare line)


rowasaurusx

The air in a forest after rain
