Some of the fragrances from Clean capture "clean" in its various stages and dimensions. Clean Skin obviously is the scent of freshly washed skin. Clean Lather is that in-the-shower, activated soap scent. Shower Fresh smells like unactivated liquid soap still in the bottle. However, it is more like Palmolive, Dawn, or Softsoap - not like Dove or Ivory. It is indeed 'clean' but a more industrial, "anti-bacterial" kind of clean, not a sweet, comforting, luxurious clean. The cleancore aesthetic of the clear blue glass bottle is a perfect reflection of the spirit of this fragrance. It reminds one of a bottle of blue dishwashing liquid which is pretty much what it smells like. Be that as it may, I still like it. I enjoy the sheer novelty of it. I keep it on the side table next to my couch so I can just smell it now and then. Makes a nice gym fragrance.

zind

Ew. This was hair smell to me. Unwashed, oily and stinky hair. Wet dog probably wouldn't be far off either. I like quite a few Clean scents, especially Clean Reserve skin, but Clean Shower smells everything but clean to me!

fruity_iykwim

so clearly a lot of people got a bad batch. I don't smell any wet dog at all lol. I really only smell lemon and orange. not bad, but not really something I want to smell like.

I will say I'm a gourmand lover. my boyfriend is not. the only scents he really likes on me are fresh and clean, and he loves this. he was burying into my neck lol.

bottom line this is way too straight up citrus to me, but if you like freshies you may like this.

EDIT: I am selling this one within the US! it will be cheap because I got it from tj maxx. dm me if you're interested :)

R.diggity

I was intrigued at first. Very unique scent. But I couldn’t place it. It wasn’t horrible but it was familiar. Being a cat person. I didn’t recognize it at first. Then I read some comments, and Yep it’s a wet dog. So horrible.

commonscentsreviews

I sampled this when I saw it on clearance at my local rack store. I immediately regretted spraying it on myself. It smelled like a “clean rain/air” type air freshener mixed with wet dog. That same metallic and sultry sharpness found in Secretions Magnifique. Hard pass. It’s a shame because I had high hopes with a name like this.

Cathped

Where is the wet dog?

I certainly smell it...
Both me and my husband found this one repulsive.

summer_reed

I usually love Clean perfumes (Warm Cotton, Clean Cotton, Velvet Flora especially). But this one ? I purchased it without smelling it first, I was very confident because I knew Clean perfumes smell, well, clean LOL
The best description for the scent comes from one comment below : it smells like raw outside ! I've never read such accurate description. I hate that perfume, it doesn't smell clean AT ALL. I'm guessing it's the mandarin orange that gives that weird note. Anyway, steer clear from this one unless you want to smell like sweaty children !

KissMeGranny

Maybe I received a bad batch... but do you all remember when we were kids and we would be playing outside all day in the 90's??

Yes, my purchase smelled like 3 seven year olds playing all evening until the streetlights came on. Yeck! IT SMELLS LIKE RAW OUTSIDE! Im just going to randomly shove this in someones hands in the street and keep it moving! LOL.

bvarney_zip

Do you remember home permanents for hair back in the day? This fragrance smells very similar. It has a strong disinfectant smell to me. I’m giving this Clean fragrance a hard pass.

Carre K

One of the few ”cleanish” scents I enjoy, because it’s more like a nice shower gel or shampoo, not like clean linen. Compliment getter and an easy reach. I have lost my 30 ml somewhere but there’s probably only a small amount left. Might become a re-purchase, which happens very seldom for me!

chelseet

I have a brand new bottle of this to trade if anyone wants it. Sprayed only 3 times. USA only. Send me a PM :-)

pcsanjuan_89

Just recently got this, probably one of the scents from this brand that lasts longer on my body, literally smells like you came from the shower, great sillage. i dont like how it smells the first time you spray it on, too sharp,I cant detect any citrus smell at all which i was expecting...but nevertheless, it dries down throughout the day into a mix of a salty but soft pantene shampoo scent which i love, its a nice scent to mix with a lemony baby cologne to soften it up at first.

taylormarie

Truly does smell exactly like you just stepped out of the shower. Very fresh, clean (duh), and aquatic. As another reviewer mentioned, there is a slight metallic note which adds a pleasant uniqueness to the scent. I have found that this Clean fragrance, along with Cashmere, has great lasting power compared to some of their other offerings. I like to use this one if I am expecting a long, busy day with few opportunities to freshen up. It keeps me smelling freshly showered for 8+ hours! Love it.

Rodween

The scent of this perfume is LEGIT true to it's name. It really does make you smell like you've just freshly showered.
I think it is spot on and aptly named.
CLEAN really did a great job on some of their classic scents like this one, warm cotton and fresh laundry.

The scent of this is very reminiscent of Shampoos. There is also a certain watery note that I pickup that I feel like what its making it smell like you've just got out of the shower. There is a hint of chlorinated swimming pool water smell that I get and I'm not mad at it. In fact I love it! That note actually made the overall scent interesting and not going borderline boring. I feel as though it was intentional to achieve the got out of the shower smell. Had they not put that metallic note, this perfume would be so boring and just smell like those regular body sprays imo.

The first time I've tested this, I could not stop sniffing the paper strip and thought it was very addictive. Even after 3 days, I could still smell remnants of this perfume on the paper strip. But other scents like skin, fresh linens, air, blossom, ultimate, rain had since disappeared and can no longer be smelled on the paper strips! (poor longevity)

I haven't been able to stop using this one everyday since buying it a week ago. The scent itself makes me instantly happy whenever I wear it. It's such a pick me up perfume.
I've been on the roll buying CLEAN classic scents one by one and this is currently my favorite.
This is quite strong too, same level with the Warm Cotton in terms of sillage and longevity.
Which makes me not feel too bad for paying 79 Euros on the store for a 60 ml bottle.

MaryamOHS

is there something wrong with my nose or is there something wrong with the world? I'm having an existential crisis, this smells exactly like clementine peels, you could just rub some on your body and get the same result, no one would know the difference, believe me.

SalinasL

If I had known how much this smelled like Simply Belle I wouldn’t even have bothered getting a sample since I have a thousand samples of Simply Belle from Fragnet. Longevity of this is a bit better than that, and it doesn’t have as much powder from the peach, but I’d be hard-pressed to tell them apart if not smelling them side by side. I like my body wash from the dollar store better. This feels like choosing not to use a body wash that smells amazing and washing your body with a generic liquid hand soap that costs more instead. I like Clean Skin so much that I keep persisting with this brand but everything else so far (apart from maybe Clean Air) has been a disappointment. Ah well, the search continues.

Nymph_peach

i can smell the freshness, but like other reviews pointed out, the smell kinda reminds me of perm solution without the pungentness of it. it also smells like banana milk.

toloneneija

This should be called Hair Salon fresh, because this smell like hair perm solution. I can only smell Lemon peels, musk, and dog's wet fur. Weird but fresh.

astamm62

Nothing about this scent smells shower fresh or a clean shampoo..This smells like a wet dog to me.I thought it was gross..My favorite in the Clean line is, Clean Ultimate Beach Day.

kyl77

I can't really detect the separate notes in this perfume. All I really get is a slightly metallic soapiness. At first I didn't care for it, but that's because I over sprayed. This fragrance actually smells harsh to me if applied too heavily. I think one spray is enough to impart a sense of perpetual cleanliness that's implied in the name. In my opinion, Shower Fresh should be worn in such a way that it smells gentle and hugs the skin, so you literally smell like you stepped out of a shower instead of smelling like you're covering up a bad smell. Great for low key days or work situations. I'm now glad I bought it.

ascotnot

I thought I would try this to see if this line of fragrances was some special find to tap into. That didn't really happen though. This has some vibe that's kind of ozonic, but not just-after-thunderstorm ozonic, more like I-left-the-ozone-generator-on-too-long-please-someone-open-a-window ozonic. For whatever it is trying to accomplish, the way it's crafted seems like overkill to me.

It is possible this might work to freshen up bedding in combination with fresh air. I might give that a try. But as an alternative to more customary fragrances, simply doing without for a day would be a better alternative - for me. If I want soapy or shower-fresh, I have fragrances that already do that for me and don't really need one specially intended for that purpose.

bvarney_zip

WARNING: This fragrance smells exactly like an old-fashioned hair perm! Yeesh!

Lollo

Soapy fresh, not a big sillage at all, stays close to the skin. Very suitable name, like you've just got out from the shower. Not glamouros or so. Great for spring/summer. Its not so remarkable but good.

violetstorm

its sad to see all the negative thoughts on this perfume but i do feel that clean fragrances are for a particular crowd - u either like them or u dont lol......the whole idea behind their brand (well to me ) is to smell clean & fresh without smelling like a bowl of fruit, a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolate or some other category like tobacco, coffee, leather, or even gunpowder lol

its all about smelling fresh , clean & simple like u just stepped out of the shower :) i think its a clever & lovely line & im glad they have stood the test of time...........they have been around a long time so that says a lot :)

i love their scents & i especially love this scent........it smells exactly what it represents - shower fresh :)

i also think some peoples chemistry may not click with these scents but for me they work really great - there a couple that i think stink lol (fresh linens is one of them lol ) but the majority i love :):)

when i wear them it makes me feel like a little hippie dippie bohemian gal (one that showers of coarse lol )

so put daisies in ur hair, wear ur peace sign necklace or ring , put on that long flowy maxi dress , add an ankle bracelet & spritz on a clean scent & be free & happy :):) peace out :)

Shan101beauty

This is a really nice scent. It really smells like fresh soap. A bit reminiscent of Irish spring soap. I love to use this after my shower on a hot day and keeps me smelling like i just got out of the shower all day. Nice to use in hot weather.

GardenDays

I get the idea behind the Clean brands Fresh-Cotton-Shower-Laundry-not-perfume-scents. And I think it's a good idea, but sadly I'm disappointed in most of these perfumes. Shower fresh is the one I dislike the most (not counting the horrible discontinued Simply Soap.).

I got it as one of five rollerballs and tried it on 3-4 times. No.No no no. It's from the bathroom all right - a bit like very cheap kids shampoo or bath foam. Not the soft, gentle baby products; rather something for older kids, from a neon coloured bottle with a princess or a laughing fruit on it. I can smell a lot of things actually: Cheap soap, bubbel gum, sugary soft drinks to start with, later there is weird fruits candy before it dries down to a strange, very sweet, synthetic scent. On me, that's to say. I see that many other people really like Clean Shower Fresh. We are all unique and it's so important to wear a perfume at least 90 minutes or so before buying a whole bottle.

But I still like the idea behind the Clean brand. Happily I've found Clean Cool Cotton and Clean Fresh Laundry instead.

liviajune

I use this when I want to smell like I showered 5 minutes ago. Smells fresher than actually taking one (do not recommend it as a substitute, though, we're not living in 17th century Paris).

lndolsson

I like the idea of scents that are fresh and not overpowering not to offend colleagues at work so I wear this a lot on weekdays.
This one feels just like you showered and keep you fresh all day but the first bottle I bought just didn't stick on my skin. I loved the scent when I sprayed and no matter how much I sprayed it lasted max 1 hour, very disappointing since it was expensive so that made me so disappointed

I got another bottle a couple of years later as a gift and for some reason this was more concentrated or something as I spray in the morning and can still feel the lovely subtle scent when I go to bed, this bottle is almost gone and I will probably buy my third which is quite unusual for me as I like to try new scents all the time

malones

I bought this in 2010 and I loooved it and still love it. It has such a fresh, clean, pure scent. I would totally repurchase this but on me it doesn't last very long which was a huge disappointment since it's the most expensive perfume I have ever bought to this date.
But it is amazing.

Sailor Pluto

I just purchased this and I find that it is extremely similar to Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. perfume! It has that same harsh metallic (almost petroleum-like) sharpness on first spray. However, that's where the similarities end. This one in my opinion is better than L.A.M.B. because its dry down doesn't smell like you've just cooked spaghetti sauce and the smell is caught in your clothes! This one continues to smell fresh and a little powdery in the dry down. It is one of my favorite perfumes! But it's the type of perfume that you love or hate in my opinion.

Dort0625

Dammit! !! Dammit all the he'll! !! I decided to go do some shopping at winners, wait no I'm lying...my husband wanted to go spend money on tools are a hardware store very close to winners so I went there instead lol any who. ..while I was fragrance hoping I stumbled upon a three piece set-actually there was two different sets from this brand. In the sets there is three 30mls bottles and I thought it was this one that was compared to Arden Green Tea cucumber but turns out that was rain aND not shower fresh-hence the rant above lol so I guess I'll do a review for the ones I did get. This one is really nice. I will say that fresh type fragrances are my absolute favorite so my opinion may not be worth much of anything to those who don't love these types....if you enjoy that uplifting fresh clean kind than buy this

mj_naja

I blind buy this because I live in hot and humid climate I want to smell clean and fresh. And it does the job very well. Smell like you just step out of shower and goes well in Summer hot and humid temperature. I sprayed it around 10 sprays in the morning and around evening it still smell clean. I like this fragrance. I bought from Anz Tulpe shop in Japan for 3690 Yen.

beccapedersen

I first tried out the original Clean one, and I literally hated it. It smells exactly like a fresh cleaned toilet, not nice at all and I couldn't stand the smell. So I do NOT recommend spending your money on the original Clean, uew.

So my hopes weren't high for this one either, but I was surprised in a good way when first smelling this one. It smells nothing like the original one :) I really do like this scent, and my boyfriend likes it as well. It's a clean scent that make you feel fresh but I still find softness in this, a very comforting, calming smell I think. My nose doesn't pick up citrus that much from this scent, rather the white florals and I love that. A lot of people say it smells like some schampos and I agree a bit on that one yes, but it's not in a bad way :) I know it's listed for women but in my opinion even a man could get away with wearing this (here in Europe at least there is one especially for men though). It's a bit of a unisex scent, but don't let that scare you of from trying this one, it's really good! One more positive thing about this is that at least on my skin it has great staying power, I spray on 1-2 spritz early in the morning and can still sense it in the late afternoon wich is great!
The negative thing about this fragrance, definitely the price. I think they really set a over price on this one, here in Sweden it coasts about 750 Swedish crones wich is like 75 dollars I guess. But I found sites that sells it for about 200 Swedish crones wich is about 20 dollars :) So that's a much better price and I only bought it when I got it for that lower price, I would never purchase this for it's original price.

All for all, a great scent, it isn't "sexy" or sensual or anything like that, but a great scent when you just want to feel fresh and feel good.

When I first started collecting perfume I was really into the soapy aesthetic. That’s when I met the CLEAN brand. I actually don’t like most CLEAN perfumes, but was immediately smitten with Shower Fresh and still enjoy it to this day.

The pleasure of it is immense, but very simple in a quite literal way. It’s sweet but also soapy and astringent. The effect is of feminine shower gels and shampoos, and other such bathing products. It really does smell like one just stepped out of the shower. I like it very much for that. I always love that moment after a hot shower. The air is humid, the body is relaxed and refreshed. The just out of the shower scent is so fleeting, but it’s captured sincerely in this bottle.

Now, a lot of people probably will not like CLEAN’s Shower Fresh, and I understand why. It smells very chemical and frankly cheap. Why spend more money on the scent of some generic body wash and shampoo than you can get at a drugstore or supermarket? I would argue because it lasts well. One can spritz it on more quickly than a shower for that relaxed just showered feeling. It’s a way to smell fresh and positive without being obvious you’re wearing perfume. Anyone would agree that you smell clean and pleasant. Still, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. Realistic? Yes. Sophisticated? No. If you can’t stand artificial kind of notes, avoid this.

nvenus

Smells like shampoo. Not particularly bad shampoo but the ordinary ones you can find anywhere or "head & soulders".

I don't dislike it but I imagine people's hair to smell like this so I wouldn't want to use it as a daily perfume.

staceydtb

I understand the hate for that metallic note everyone's talking about, but the secret to wearing this scent is to spray ever so lightly. It's got a good sillage and longevity anyway.

I wore a lot of Clean scents back when I still lived in Manila, where the climate is almost always hot and humid.

Shower Fresh lives up to its name. It's perfect when you want to smell like you just stepped out of the shower and intends to smell like it the whole day.

mooglebuns

I had a similar experience to magica with this perfume. I smell the shower freshness but on top of it there is a metal smell that remains throughout the entire wearing. That metal scent made this a pass for me. I'm guessing it just doesn't work well on me and a few others because it doesn't seem to have this metallic scent overwhelming everything else judging by reviews.

MaryushaMTL

Very clean fragrance, soapy smell. A fragrance to use when you don't want to wear any perfume but want to smell clean: when you workout, grocery shopping on the weekend, etc.

badgerbruno

Pantene shampoo. Straight up. Gorgeous.

jasmine95

This one smell like Pantene shampoo:) It's fresh, really shower fresh. I like it! :)

LOUISELOUISE

Smells like shampoo, but I don't mean that as a criticism. I like smelling like shampoo, and I think this lives up to it's title rather well. Very lively, makes me feel happy and fresh.

pongwiffy

If Vidal Sassoon made a perfume, this would be it.

The best i can describe it is the old V05 or good quality brand anti dandruff shampoos (Head and Shoulders). or L'oreal shampoo or other quality shampoo, the ones with a pearly consistancy in your hand. That EXACT smell.

Strongly chemical shampoo scent mixed with lemon. not offensive or unpleasant, but very unsexy and sort of weird. It really is like stepping out a shower. But beware of the risk of people wondering what sort of headlice you have that you have to wear such a strong smelling shampoo.

Perfume is lacking in personality . Also the chemical smell gave me a headache at first until i got used to it.

Great if you dont have time to bathe, or you love old skool brand name pearly shampoos, need a bland perfume for work, for some reason you think its cool and edgy to walk around smelling like moms shampoo / industrial cleaning products, or nude situations where you want to smell fresh and clean quickly

Terrible for: dating, nights out, eveningwear, social situations

I often think of CLEAN as similar to Demeter fragrances - not intended to smell beautiful or emotive, but to replicate everyday smells to make an unexpected edgy perfume. In this case, think of Demeter does "Shampoo" perfume

Me1234

I've been wanting this fragrance for about 5 months, and finally Got it this morning:-)
I like it so much because it seriously makes me smell shower fresh!
To me, it smells like shampoo, fresh cold water, body wash and a little bit of citrus.
It really smells super fresh, and in my opinion it is perfect as an everyday fragrance :-)
I recommend it to persons, who like to smell as if they just Got out of a fresh shower (probably everyone!)

artemiss

This smells like an ozonic version of whatever they use to fragrance Pantene shampoo/conditioner.
I just don't like it and find it a bit too much for a "Clean" scent, far preferrng the 'Warm Cotton" in my set over this one.

dianacreole

You know what I find to be the ultimate.... actually BEING shower fresh and wearing Shower Fresh! ****

torkwan

Ummm, sorry, but I don't get any chemical/cleaner smell out of this and I don't see how this can be disgusting either ( I have no idea how someone can say this smells like a wet dog...unless your wet dog smells like clean shampoo?). It's rather inoffensive and smells clean. I actually think it smells lovely, like Pantene shampoo and soap. I find it to be very nice and simple scent. It's not sharp like the original, but it's super fresh and light!! OBVIOUSLY this isn't a substitute for a real shower, but, come on...it's a perfume for people who don't like perfume. Don't expect it to be complex. I don't find it long lasting, but it does stay close to the skin, which is comforting.

annagupta12

I have tried several in the Clean line and really love them. But I don't like Shower Fresh at all. I tried it a few times and it almost makes me sick. So I will stick to Warm and Cool Cotton and a couple others.

The Swedish girl

Sour, sharp and weird scent. Chemical and "household cleanser" type of smell.

This is NOT how I smell when I step out of the shower, thank God.

LB152

This competes with Original CLEAN for second place in this line for me. This is a little more aquatic and "watery" compared to the warmness of Warm Cotton and the astringent character of Original CLEAN. This is a favorite of mine on humid summer days and nights when my favorite fragrances come dangerously close to being annoying or cloying. I actually prefer this and Original during summer and Warm Cotton during the winter.

Again a very simple fragrance that does exactly what I think the designer intended.

Nirhtuc

I know this perfume is labelled 'for women', but really, I feel that this is more of a unisex perfume. It doesn't quite smell like you stepped out of a shower- more like some citrus aquatic mens cologne (I know some ladies like that). It's probably a body chemistry issue too. I thankfully only bought a 10mL rollerball vial and not a full bottle. I was seduced by the 'stepped out of a shower' descriptions, which is why I sought it out in the first place. That all said, I wouldn't say I dislike it, but I doubt this would become one of my favourite fresh-type perfumes.

Tourbillion

When I wore this I did smell "shower fresh." However, it was like a freshly washed DOG!

This scent smells so bad on me. Unwearable.

I do like some other Clean scents though, just not this one.

EBaby

Didn't like this one at first spray--decided on Clean Warm Cotton instead. The more I wore it though, the more it grew on me. I didn't expect to like these as much as I do; they apparently work well with my chemistry. The original Clean, Cotton T Shirt, and Clean Laundry did NOT. All the notes matter in the end I guess. The Shower Fresh is great to me.

ChristopherRiley

An unusual watery-metallic EDP which is floral and breezy.....

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0 - 2 Hours - 1 foot projection. What on God's earth is this? This IMHO smells nothing like a shower, instead its a sheet of aluminium in a bath of water. The notes list oranges and lemons, are you serious?

2 hours - 4 hours - 7 inch projection. Linear, floral, Ashley Jane summer floral dresses.Ages 42 - 52

4 hours - 7 hours - 3 inch projection. This has sillage trails more so than projection

7 hours - 9 hours . Close to skin


This was a gift from member - smelling great - and I kept it for myself as my wife did not like it, however after a number of times wearing this, I will soon hopefully give it to a colleague

I sat next to someone last week on the train from London Bridge and she was wearing this. I could not work this frag out but after she sat next to me I understood, as it worked for her and never for me.

I would understand if many either do not like this or think strange..

MatheaR

Like the name of the parfum suggests, both the bottle and the scent are clean. The parfum definitely fulfills its promise of smelling like someone who just took a shower. It's light and fresh, which I like, but it's not as feminine as I'd like it to be. The best thing about both this particular scent, and the other ones by clean is HANDS DOWN the purse-friendly bottle!

mew.kitty

I have several CLEAN fragrances in my collection, and while I tend to use them as linen spray rather than perfume, I've found that I really enjoy the line. My experience with the CLEAN scents had been quite pleasant until I acquired a sample of Shower Fresh. It smells decent when it first hits my skin, but the nice-ness of Shower Fresh lasts just seconds. The opening quickly turns into an unpleasant "makes me feel like throwing up" stage that unfortunatley doesn't go away. The intensity of the "makes me sick" odor eventually dies down into a less harsh version, but the unpleasant smell never really improves. Not the worst ever perfume, but the worst CLEAN. I won't be purchasing a full bottle.

suhaesa

ok its not as clean as i thought it might be.. its a strange perfume.. it depends on your hormones and mood..dont smell it on the cap.. you have to use it on your skin..ok it smells a bit synthetic.. a bit like the after spraying of germicides or pesticide.. but in a good way ..its deep.. strong.. and aquatic fresh..it has the after effect of cleanliness.. but its not soapy.. maybe a bit shampooy..i find it annoying after a couple a while ..but thats just me maybe its the white flowers..but i am sure many people will find it as a pleasant scent..

Second review. New take.

The opinions appear to be all over the map as regards the scent referent of Clean SHOWER FRESH. Our beloved MissK smells shampooed hair; The Holey[sic] Book derides this composition as a "trash floral" and jovially welcomes Creed LOVE IN WHITE back into the category of white floral perfumes.

As I revisit this perfume today (having "wound up" with a roller ball somehow), I find that SHOWER FRESH is a near-perfect facsimile scent of a chlorinated swimming pool. When I was growing up, my two sisters and I spent a lot of time at the local pool. Nearly all of our neighbors belonged to the club because it was the easiest and safest way to dispense with one's children for the three months of summer vacation. Because of the massive amount of time I spent at that place, I can speak with authority about the scent of a chlorinated pool, and SHOWER FRESH does a pretty good job of reproducing it.

The reason why the scent is not quite perfect is because there is also a fruity vibe to this creation, as though someone accidentally spilled a large vat of fruit punch into the pool. So there's the chlorine, and there's the aquatic facet, and then there's the artificially flavored fruit punch. It's all there, pulled together by the house of Clean so that you can relive that night at a party where you fell into the pool drunk while holding your glass of orange Koolaid and Everclear.

luna1234567

once again the name Says it all. This smells like Someone took a nice shower and used Some nice smelling Shampoo'....it mostly smells like shampoo. This is great for when you want to smell good but at the same time not smell like you have perfume on.

40plus&fab

The name says it all . . . this is bubble-bath, fresh out the shower, soap and water clean. It is not offensive at all but it is not anything else either. I gave it as a gift to a friend who does not generally do "fragrance" and she loved it. I don't see any reason to pay for a perfume that gives the same effect as a bath with ivory or camay soap and generic body lotion.

jedrzejowskia

This smells nearly exactly like a shampoo and shower gel range that was available in stores in Sweden when I was a tween.

As my parents weren't too well off and I nearly never got any pocket money, I was unable to buy it but loved to smell it in the shops and on my friends.

Shower Fresh smells like I've just taken a shower with those products but longer :-) I'm not a big fan o fresh scents but this is more sweet and musky than fresh on me and it suits me down to a tee!

I've used this frag going out as well as during the day and always receive compliments.

my favorite by clean. it's pretty unisex, and that's probably why boys love it. it also lasts extremely long on me (actually all clean perfumes do...)

Museumgal

As the name implies this is a perfect just out of the shower scent. The florals mixed with light citrus notes are fresh and light without ever becoming cloyingly sweet or masculine.

hannaheart

This smells so sooo good on me. I'm already on my second bottle. The only downside to this perfume is that it doesn't really last long on my skin. :(

LeggysMum

Quite curiously, I get no hint of citrus....its kind of a non scent, until a bit later it sneaks up on you...
A quiet scent, just every now and then get a hint of sweetness, not exactly floral that you could pin down..
Later, there's a vary faint reference to citrus
Definitely inoffensive, maybe I actually like this...lol
Reserving final judgement until I've tried a few more times, but so far a winner for those days when you don't feel like any particular scent (or am I the only one whose body chemistry gives me those days???)

I struggle with Clean scents. I haven't tried them all yet, but I will (because I'm nothing if not thorough). Shower Fresh smells exactly like Simply Soap to me. I get an initial metallic hit followed immediately by dog shampoo (I would prefer the smell of an actual dog to dog shampoo). I could maybe live with that if it mellowed into any of the other notes listed, but I get no citrus or flowers, just soap followed by suds and then more soap. The headache inducing kind. Still love the concept; disappointed in the execution.

Clean Shower Fresh is sweet and refreshing! This is my favorite of all the clean scents. Lemon, mandarin, orange, jasmine, lily of the valley, orange blossom, sheer woods, and musk. Slightly aquatic and great for summer!

nightcat23

This is one of my all time favorite scents! It's so clean without smelling powdery or heady-floral. It's so clean and fresh and has a watery clean smell to it. You can't get much more clean than this! The name describes it perfectly.

yantiadi

nice upon the first spray...i agree on that it has a metal scent after sometimes...so, i just layer it with another perfume, trying to cover it..:)

smelling_gr8

Erm well, it's ok but I can't say I love it...much prefer CLEAN provence to this. This kinda smells very soapy but sort of cheap soap smell and it doesn't really last that long either. Disappointing bearing the cost in mind....

fullbottleworthy

This is totally disgusting. It smells like you took powdered laundry detergent, rubbed it all over yourself, and then decided not to rinse it off. It smells just like soap, but not in an, "I'm clean" way, rather an, "I forgot to take a shower so let me just spray some of this on," kinda way. If I want to smell clean, I take a shower. This is gross.

sunshine2079

I didn't like this one for a clean scent. It seemed a bit too contrived so bought the laundry fresh version instead, but after wearing that one too not sure about it either..

Magica

I had recently gotten this perfume in a little rollerball, and I was really hoping to like it, it seemed like it would be a perfect scent for when I don't necessarily want to wear perfume, but I still want to smell good. At first it smells just like I would expect it to, totally reminds me of a clean, stepping out of the shower scent. But it totally changed once on my skin. I could smell a little bit of that intial 'showery' smell, but mostly I got an overwhelming metal scent that I was not expecting at all. I guess this perfume just doesn't go with my skin chemistry.

I did notice that I could smell that metal scent throughout most of the day, at least 6 hours. So contrary to what other people have said, I found it had quite a good lasting power.

candyaddict

I love the idea of a fragrance that isn't overwhelming, just smells very soft and clean (like laundry detergent or fabric softener). Based solely on reviews, I had high hopes for Shower Fresh. There's something that almost punches you in the face immediately. I think it must be the orange blossom, not sure. Just not for me. :(

pynkgirl

I tried this at the recommendation of good friend who loves it. I think it smells good, not bad, but not great!

This smells extremely safe in the perfume world . The name is very true. It smells CLEAN!. It smelled like soap at initial spray. It's now been 3 hours and it has dried down to some short of shampoo I've used before.

I just don't see the point of buying this if I can get the same affect with SOAP, however I can see wearing this to maybe the grocery store or a park. Seems like this would totally die in high heat months.

I will not be buying because I like my perfume to smell like PERFUME, however this is a great scent for someone in nursing, someone who is very allergic/has allergies, etc.

Clean is a brand that focuses on producing fragrances that smell 'clean and fresh'. Clean Shower Fresh is as the name implies, a scent that recreates the feeling of just stepping out of the shower.

When I first smelt Clean Shower Fresh I immediately thought of shampoo and shower gels. The scent was inoffensively fruity and clean-smelling. I love that feeling of having just washed my hair, and quite often I receive more compliments from men concerning the scent of my shampoo rather than my perfume. I can certainly see how a scent of this nature could appeal to so many.

As you may expect, Clean Shower Fresh is quite linear. It's the scent of shampoo from beginning to end. But because it's a nice smell of shampoo, I don't mind this composition being so simplistic.

The sillage is quite intimate, meaning it stays rather close to the skin. I like wearing it, but I can't say I'd buy a bottle for myself, simply because I prefer to wear perfumes that smell like perfume. I'm not really interested in the idea of spending money on re-creating a scent that my shampoo and bar of soap can do just as well.

The longevity was unfortunately quite weak which I found a little irritating, especially in regards to the rather high price tag. All in all, this a fragrance for those women that don't want to wear anything too 'perfumey'.

sarage

If I can't decide, what to wear, I can always count on my Shower Fresh. The soapy, fresh scent always gets compliments and creates a fresh sillage. The lasting power is good.
I use this mostly at work, no matter what season it is.
I don't like the original Clean, but I love this one. It's a perfect choice for someone looking for a soapy, fresh scent, which has a good lasting power.

Detroitcolognereview

I smiled as soon as i smelled it. It is literally everything shower. Its a light refreshing scent that is better suited to your bed sheets than your skin. I have to say, its a nice smell but i just dont see myself wearing this one. Its maybe an around the house smell but if you wear this one out, someone is going to be checking to see if a tube of shower gel busted in your pocket. Really nice smelling but completely literal

Hyponse

I liked this scent. Fresh, summerflowers, and as the name says like you just got out of the shower.

Giselle Viz

Smells just like it's name. Like clean skin and freshley shampooed hair, after it has been conditioned. The smell you get when you take the towel off your head and, just lay down on your favorite relaxing spot and you get a whiff of your clean fresh body. It's like making a new beginning and feeling all school, work or household responsabilities and worries go down the drain. Its a wonderful experience. Try it!

karenevachin

I adore this scent. The first Clean I bought was the Clean by Clean and I hated it, because of its potpurrish scent. This one did not disappoint me as I love perfumes that just smells clean. I keep the small bottle in my bag for a quick spritz anytime and anywhere to smell FRESHLY SHOWERED :)

Mirabelle

Not impressed at all with this fragrance from Clean, don't even want to try sthing else from that house. It is so artificial and citric... it reminds me of anything but a shower, some detergents I used to clean the bathroom at the most! I think if you want to smell like you just washed... just washed, I don't know any shower gel bath products that smell any close to this... It is very cheap, synthetic scent...
Philosophy do skin scent that really smell soapy/powdery/clean just out of the shower smell.
If I am in need of a citrus scent I will stick to Eau de Rochas, it gives me that fresh/crisp scent. Don't even know what to do with the bottle!

margot321

WOW! This is my new favourite! It is so pretty and uplifting, I looooooooooooove it!!!

Pinni

This fragrance is exactly what it claims to be! Smells like a person that just came out of the shower.
It's a tad too soapy for me to wear but I can't actually blame a fragrance names "Shower fresh" from it.

flues

little sweet, little fresh, little saponaceous; like your best shampoo and also long lasting

لم اجربه ولكن اشعر انه الطف من النسمة على شاطئ البحر .. او في يوم بارد وسط حديقة ممطورة

gypsy parfumista

I received this fragrance in a recent order and liked it but had ordered the mens version in a EDT 4.0 oz size and was sent an EDP in the 2.0 oz size, not realising this I opened it and sprayed it. When I called the issuing company they let me keep the EDP and sent an EDT mens since it was their mistake. This company has an excellent customer service policy and I reccomend them highly...

I had originally planned on keeping this and saying "Oh well..." because in the topnotes you do get a definite Clean Out-of the Shower feeling (if you had used a very citrusy shower gel)due to the orange, lemon and mandarin. But as the heart begins to blossom the jasmine and muguet and orange blossom are very sweet and a little too femme-floral for me. The drydown is clean and simple: musk and white woods. If you want a citric floral with a clean decent drydown that is definitely feminine give this one a try...my mother just loves it!

Sillage:above average
Longevity: most of the day
Overall: 3/5

Don't get me wrong I just love soapy scents and am not afraid to wear florals of all kinds but my collection has tons of citrus/jasmine-muguet/white woods-musk creations and this one is quite nice; it just smells much better on a woman than it does on me. I am anxious for my Mens CLEAN Shower Fresh to arrive!(It contains bergamot, greens, lemon and thyme in the top;with cardamom, nutmeg, spearmint and muguet in the heart; finishing with a base of cedarwood and black tea-how exciting!)If anyone has this or has smelled it please PM me with your thoughts or impressions, since it has not yet been added to this wonderful database...

kurisu

To be fair with Clean,I think they do the scent as their concept "Clean". It's not a sophisticate,sweet or sensual kind of scent ,but give you an imagine of clean cloth, soapy kind of scent (and synthetic). Even the name of Fresh shower,I 'm thinking that it's similar to laundry cloth or detergent,it's not like soap or after shower scent for me.Anyway, I don't think that it's bad.But I will not buy the full bottle. Just small decant bottle for a summer time is enough for me. Anyway, I still wanna try other line from Clean. And I would recommend Philosophy 's Pure grace if you like Fresh shower.(I like Pure grace over Fresh shower)

Carolinealgot

There was something about this one that make me not buying it so hopefully the green scent Shower Fresh Outdoor is better...

sherapop

Clean SHOWER FRESH is the fourth Clean offering that I've tried, and I must say that I just don't get this line at all. It reminds me a bit of Dasani or Aquafina water, which is tap water that has been filtered, poured into plastic bottles and then sold to hordes of unwitting consumers who apparently believe that they are buying spring water.

The Clean concept seems very similar to me, for it's not really perfume, but nor is it a real substitute for a bath or a shower. I very much dislike the underlying soap note in all of the Clean versions that I've tried, and SHOWER FRESH is no exception. This is a flat, linear, low-grade bergamot, cheap soap smell to my nose. For my soapy perfume fix, I'll stick with CALECHE or WHITE LINEN. Désolée!

Thaigirl

I bought this one and loved it so much. It is a beautifull scent. The best in the Clean line for me. Smell like fresh out of the shower, love this one. I really have to say I don't like the other perfumes from Clean, they can be a bit too sharp, but this one is lovely.

Aalia

I adore all the citruses here, the lemon, the orange, the mandarin, all of them are bright, clear, and earthy. Don't forget the orange flower-it's strong, and sharp, and contrasts beautifully with the lily of the valley and dives into the softness of the jasmine at times. The woody notes are dry, smooth, almost sueded..and stable. There are very few moments that I think of "a shower" exactly, or "shapmpoo", or "cleanser" per se. A couple times I thought of soap suds, bubbles, water droplets, the smell of the bathroom tiles, and a bamboo-orange flower soap that I have.

This is an all around beautiful and precious little straight floral! I think I am starting to like this Clean company. I recently tested Fresh Laundry by Clean, and I was so pleasantly surprised with that one also. Both scents had the same type of simple, pure, and attractive format. Just lovely!

randik

Smells like your favourite shampoo, and lasts forever! :D It is a typical lively summer fragrance which is very inoffensive. This scent is like your passport to freshness! Mmmmmm...

crumbling_images

I love this!! Shower Fresh runs a close second to Warm Cotton. It's clean, refreshing.
