Clean Provence Clean for women

I agree this doesn't last very long, but I love the candied violet, powdery clean smell . . . I spray it on my sheets and pillowcases before bed and it's heavenly! Doesn't last too long on my skin, but have received compliments like "you smell so good" instead of "what perfume is that?" which I like. Especially when my five-year-old niece snuggles up and sighs and tells me I smell good. Best feeling. My husband likes it, too, but probably more on the sheets for a pleasant snuggly sleep than on me. It's hard to get him to like anything other than Chanel 22, which is my favorite and I try to savor.

I love the smell but it does not last at all. I pretty much have to douse myself in this and reapply all day. I'm just glad it's not too heavy at first application. Smells very familiar for some reason, almost like a sparkly soda. I can't really explain.

Not my favorite Clean fragrance. The citrus just pops when you spray, then everything was just gone.

Totally agreed with Marysiac. When I spray it, the fresh washed laundry in the sunny day is pop in my head. Clean, lovely and not cheap for me but my sister think it makes her a bit dizzy. Ahh, my sis and me always be the other side of the world.

no fresh laundry for me. just oranges. :((((( i love laundry. where did that go?

Just gost it in the mail. my fist impression wasn't very good I was expecting a little more ..mmmm or maybe a little less (the citrius was a little strong)...but then it fades into a cotton/powdery clean.Not my favorite clean fragrance, but not too bad. It gets 7 out of 10 for me...........forward to a few months later ..this is beautiful I wear it almost Everyday especially for church.it wont/can't offend anyone, it smells like you just took along bath with french essential oils.10 out of 10 for me.

I love how this Fragrance smell like freshly washed laundry drying in the sun. I put on some my mom's a few minutes ago. I really like this scent :)

It smells just like the name implies :)

This is just such a wake me up clean smell.
There is the slight lemony clean note at first, but there is an even more prevalent clean crisp cotton flower scent mixed with the subtle violet undertones that I just can't get enough of.
If this is the scent of french milled soap, then no wonder Johnny Depp moved to France! If all the ladies there smell like this, who could resist them?
My only downside is that even though the sillage is fairly good, the scent fades after a couple of hours so you must re-apply fairly often.

This one has grown on me big time. It's pleasant clean,slightly soapy and lavendary, slightly powdery and rosey, not great longevity but not poor either. Very inobtrusive, suitable for a hot sweaty weather.

It's just OK. I wear this too when I don't want to wear a scent that will kill people like at the gym...I sparay it on the back of my knee so I don't smell it

fresh candies and soap; kind of hard to pinpoint the exact aromas in here at first... smells fresh, clean and candy sweet:)

OH ! FRESH COTTON AND CANDIED CITRUS YUMMINESS... I can easily imagine a blue lagoon nested in a lush tropical forest where the mouthwatering scent of grapefruit mixes sensually with notes of wildflowers... Though I smell no french-milled soapiness in this lovely though rather linear composition , I can detect the individual notes themselves quite well. It lasts incredibly long, so use sparingly and go heavy on the real french milled soap! It's a fresh yet not tart 'wake-me-upper' after a shower and everybody loves it on me, telling me I smell so ' limpia' : clean. They sure know what they are talking about. It reminds me in some strange way of L from Gwen Stephani in it's luminous, green freshness and bright citrus zip!

Ijust found this beuty today i've tested on my wrist & was... whoooo! whats that smell i couldn't put my finge ron it but it was addicted, sophisticated way & clean (i would not say)laudry smell mre as a cotton flower sophisticate way! my first clean fragrance i'm sure this will not be my last! it dried on my as a little soft tender musky cotton flower a very lovely discovery :) get your hands on this one :) i will have to go surch to try the others but not the soapy scent one i don't like to smell like super soap women i'm more sensual soft side women xoxo :)

As with most Clean perfumes, one spray goes a long way!

Found this cheap at TJ Maxx, so gave it a try. It's...different. Sometimes I love it, and sometimes I have to wash it off. If I use just a little bit, it *may* dry down to a beautiful soft, clean scent. Or at other times it just smells like....chile peppers? I don't quite know what conditions I need to make it the former every time, lol.

I like it way better than the shrieking citrus of the original clean. Not sure about the triple-milled french soap description, though; it doesn't smell soapy to me.

This was a blind buy online that is growing on me. The top notes of lime and lemon, almost citronella are sharp but as I am a fan of citrus, it doesn't bother me. This quickly fades and once it settles I get the floral notes coming through and maybe a hint of pears. Generally I steer clear of rose/rose geranium and musk, but with this I found both to be surprisingly quite pleasant, airy and light and not overly sweet. Minimal Sillage so suitable for office or school.

I LOVE this fragrance. It's as if your not even wearing perfume. You smell so clean and fesh!!! I wear it when I dont want to wear any kind of "scent" lol.

I've never used triple milled french soap. So I cant say that this smells like any soap i've used. To be honest, it smells very sweet and fruity with a hint of fabric softner. Sniffing it directly on my arm versus smelling wafts of it through the day gives me very different results.

If i smell it directly on my wrists I get a watered down tangy fruity juice scent. It smells wet but juciy. The little waft I get through out the day smell like clothes straight from the washing machine covered in fruit juice and fabric softener.

At the end of the day, it starts to smell like a mix of fruitiness and baby wet wipes.

The silliage is okay and the longevity is great. I get a good 10hrs out of it on my skin. I really like te scent but im not in love.

I really enjoy all the Clean scents; but this is my favorite of what I've smelled of the myriad of womens. I like Outdoor Shower Fresh even more, but feel it is more unisex than anything. This one is like others have said clean, but not overly 'soapy'...

Bright clean lemon-lime, opens this with an almost translucent feel, then the subtle flowers begin to emerge: sweet, light violets (almost like candied violets), an airy rose and the dry floral spice of geraniums combine and blend seemlessly with the citrus with neither overpowering the other. A truly harmonious citrus floral (without any neroli, linden or orange blossoms) bring summer days and warm meadows to mind. There is something slightly sharp behind the flowers, like a triple milled french soap (sharp, but clean). The drydown is like linens with a hint of white musk drying on the line in a strong breeze: homey, comfy and quaint.

Sillage: close
Longevity: okay
Overall: 3.25/5

Say what you want about Clean fragrances, I enjoy ALL types of scents and always have something on, and for those days when I want to wear something, and my nose needs a break...Clean Provence really does the trick for me. Nicely done, a simple fragrance, not too complicated but a really nice blend of fresh clean notes. I doubt I would pay upwards of 70 dollars for it either, but the $10.00 US dollars for 3X10 ml rollerballs of Clean, Simply Soap and Provence...that was too good to pass up!

First Clean fragrance that doesn't smell soapy! Well, there is nothing much to say about it either except the fact that it's is a pleasant clean scent. Not gonna offense anyone. BTW, it appears kinda milky actually. A bit too simple for me to pay a retail price. Let's go over to Bath and Body Works instead.

Loved it, clean sheets drying in the summer wind in a garden in france, blue skies, sun and vacation.

love it as my evryday scent...if you like to smell not so overpowering this is the right one... mild and not complicated scent... doesnt smell soapy at all. wonderful.

Provence evokes plenty of images: fields of lavender, delectable bouillabaisse, wine orchards, etc., etc., but to my nose, CLEAN PROVENCE is initially redolent of a mixture of lemon verbena and wet hay, and the subsequent drydown is unfortunately indistinguishable from CLEAN SIMPLY SOAP. Since I dislike the latter, I won't be partaking further of the CLEAN series... A major problem is that the citrus in both CLEAN and SIMPLY SOAP smells rather fake to me--like the bergamot used in low-grade Earl Grey tea.

I wonder whether whoever came up with the CLEAN concept is actually unaware that superlative soapy drydown perfumes already exist? Well, fortunately, they do!

I agree with other rewievs here,this is the only Clean I could imagine myself having.I dislike Cleans scents so ,i find them boring,unsensual and not enjoyable at all,not more than my washingmachine is. But this one is a little different than the others, sure its soapy and articifial ,but it smells of fine,exclusive soap,not cheap soap,and it has a fine touch of french perfume, of lavender in it ,though its not listed. That i like.
But I dont accept the prize. Its not worth it.

The only scent of the Clean line I'd consider wearing - but not for the price they're charging. It's pleasant enough, but that still doesn't warrant the price tag. On a positive note, it is much prettier and softer than and the others.

Not my favorite CLEAN scent. When I think of clean, I think of soap, water, um...dare I say it...baby powder. Not lemons or limes. It's not bad, but it's not good.

Agreed with PAPrincess. Scent does not last long. However, this is a must is you enjoy 'clean' scents. It brings a smile to my face every time I smell it.

My absolute favorite in the Clean line. So light and fresh.Scent does not linger, though.

This is my summer, jeans & tank top everday fragrance.

Beautiful clean perfume.
The violet, cotton flower and lemon come through in a crisp clean way followed by a creamy, dreamy rose dry down. Great for wake -me - up in the morning.
