Someday soon they are going to bottle tapwater and perfumery alcohol under the name Eau Fraîche Eau de l’Eau and people are going to pay $48 for it. “It’s so light and airy!” “It’s like stepping out of the shower!” “It smells like me, only better!”
HA — and I will prefer the tapwater and alcohol to the smell of weak laundry detergent musk I’m sure!
I simply cannot get behind the Clean line. As I said one day perfume shopping with a friend, “I don’t like to smell clean.” Whist I didn’t mean that I like to smell like BO, I like my perfume to smell like perfume, not soap or detergent, which I think all of their scents smell like (or at least the ones I’ve sampled).
I remember my first thought upon smelling Evening in Paris for the first time was: “Soap!” Soaps were made to smell like EiP, and now perfumes are made to smell like soap. Full circle.
(I admit to liking Clean Skin and am curious about how it smells vanilla-ed up.)
Hermes Caleche also smells like soap! But nice, expensive soap. Clean smells like laundry detergent.
