About Clean Original
Clean Original launched in 2002 and became the flagship fragrance that established Clean as a brand dedicated to fresh, wearable scents. It's the kind of perfume that doesn't announce itself loudly—instead, it whispers something true. The fragrance draws inspiration from the clean linens, fresh laundry, and soap-like simplicity that defined the Clean aesthetic from day one. What makes Clean Original stand apart is its refusal to be complicated. No heavy florals, no dense woods. Just something that smells like you've stepped out of the shower, dressed in crisp clothes, and walked into a sun-drenched room.
Fragrance Family:
Fresh Floral
Scent Type:
Clean, fresh, light, airy, soapy, citrus-driven
Notes:
Clean Original opens with a bright burst of lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot—the kind of citrus that feels more like a feeling than a flavor. Within minutes, the heart arrives: delicate florals of muguet (lily of the valley), peony, and a subtle white musk that keeps everything soft and approachable. But here's where the perfume earns its name. A hint of clean musk and what reads almost like starched linen runs through the entire composition, grounding it. The base is simple—more musk, a whisper of woods—supporting the cleanliness without weighing it down. There's no pretense, no twist. It's refreshing because it respects your skin and your life.
Suggested Use
Apply Clean Original to pulse points—the neck, inner wrists, and behind the ears—where body heat naturally diffuses the fragrance throughout the day. One or two spritzes is enough; this perfume builds naturally on the skin. It works especially well right after a shower, when skin is warm and slightly damp. The citrus shines brightest in the first few hours, so morning application captures that bright, just-bathed feeling. Layer it with unscented lotion or a matching body wash to extend longevity and deepen the clean aesthetic.

Unfortunately too strong for me.

If you like to smell like laundry....
I found this perfume smelled like a citrusy laundry detergent. It was so over poweringly laudry scented, that I immediately had to have a shower and use a body scrub to make sure it came out of my skin. Too much.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Smells very nice!
I would say the first thing you notice is the sharp Lemon smell at the beginning that lasts for a few minutes. Then it tones down into a very crisp soapy smell, just like Ivory soap bars with still a hint of lemon. At the end it still smells soapy but sweeter and softer. It does smell clean and bright. I would've loved it to be muskier but it's fine, it makes you smell like a housecleaning maniac ! lol
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Unfortunately too strong for me.
Unfortunately wasn't at all what I expected. Too strong, not simple enough. Thought it would be more like a clean fresh soap smell.

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

A perennial favourite
I have used Clean Original for almost ten years and have not tired of its fresh, natural fragrance. With the first spray, I detect a burst of lemon and this dries down to a refreshing sweet floral soapy scent. I have tried several in the Clean range and this remains my all time favourite.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Clean Perfume
I was looking for a new fragrance to try. Usually I purchase citrus/fruity smells. Nothing heavy. When I first sprayed Clean, I was surprised by the overwhelming smell that it had. It had a cleaning product smell to it. I have never sprayed it on and went out because I am afraid what people will say when they smell me. I was disappointed by the product and won't be buying it again. The name is deceiving.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

humanely not tested on animals
the name clean , discribes it to a 't', its fresh and clean smelling ideal for a daytime scent , where you dont want an overpowering smell , ideal in the office or working at close quarters , unlikely to clash with anything . unfortuneatly doesnt hold all day would need a spruce up at lunchtime but on the whole a reasonable price for a working scent .
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I did not like this product
I am in the service industry. I want to smell clean/fresh all day. This product does not provide me with that scent or feeling. I am trying to replace "Signature Tova"...which I can't seem to find. I thought this product would be it. Very dissappointed.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Not so Clean
I was so disapointed with this fragrance. I read all the views and I don't get it. It smells like lemon furniture polish. I don't want to smell like cleaning supplies. The smell made me sick to my stomache so I threw it away. I could have given it away but they would wear it around me and make me sick all over again. I love being clean but not with this fragrance. What a waste of money.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Not so clean
I heard so much about this fragrance. I decided to buy it and try it out. It smells like lemon pledge and I don't want to go around people smelling like I have been dusting all day. This was not a winner with me so I will not be trying any other clean fragrances unless given to me as a gift. I'm sorry I spent money on this fragrance.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

I ordered Clean as a gift for my mom for Christmas and the entire experience could not have been better! Not only was it a great deal, but the product is terrific. It has such a light and lovely smell, it can be worn anywhere. My mom was thrilled. She wears it every day and has received several compliments. It's wonderful!

Years of Searching ends in Success!
I have searched for years for a fresh "just stepped out of the shower" fragrance, and I have found it with Clean Original. I really do get many, many compliments after people around me start wondering out loud who has the wonderful fragrance on, and then finally realizing that it's me! I use it for all occasions. It has become my signature!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
