The 'clean girl' aesthetic is anything but fleeting. Having dominated social media platforms as well as beauty aisles for some time, this trend is now taking over fragrance wardrobes. Fresh, natural and light, clean girl perfumes bring a second-skin-like scent. However, they can be difficult to pick from as they are usually unique to the wearer and require a certain level of experimentation. We’ve put together a list of classics that you can choose from, if you want something similar for your next olfactory purchase.
Burberry My Burberry Eau De Parfum
A perfume that smells as good as it looks, My Burberry is often described as 'London in the rain.' One spritz and this morning scent refreshes, reinvigorates and channels the clean girl energy. It has top notes of sweet pea and bergamot and heart notes of geranium leaf, golden quince and freesia.
Chloè Signature Lumineuse Eau de Parfum
Another popular choice, this Chloè perfume truly lives up to its name as a signature scent. It has a floral scent; and rose and vanilla dry down to reveal velvety sandalwood notes. The best part is that it maintains the original essence of Chloè perfumes while adding a modern twist that enhances its clean girl profile.
CLINIQUE Happy Perfume Spray
There’s nothing quite like a perfume reminiscent of summer to help you get through a stressful workday; and the Clinique Happy captures sunshine in a bottle. While grapefruit and bergamot bring citrus notes, the spring mimosa and Hawaiian wedding flowers add floral accents. Light, playful and crisp, the scent provides an instant mood boost on days you need an extra push.
Prada Infusion D'Iris Eau De Parfum
Prada’s Les Infusions range captures the essence of the clean girl aesthetic, aptly. Designed to rest subtly as an everyday scent, the Infusion D’Iris comes with citrus, neroli and amber and has a gentle floral base. Refreshing at its core, it has everything you need to get your morning started on a bright note.
Jo Malone London Peony and Blush Suede Prepack
While this perfume is floral in every sense of the word, with notes of peonies blended with jasmine, rose and gillyflower, it still manages to leave you with a natural, sophisticated scent. Ideal for those who prefer their floral scents balanced rather than overpowering, it champions a soft and dreamy finish.
Estee Lauder Pleasures Eau De Parfum
Simple and fresh, just as the packaging suggests, Estée Lauder’s Pleasures blends lilies, white peonies and jasmine with a hint of baie rose. Surprisingly, it isn’t sweet but instead offers the scent of a flower just after a spring rain. Sandalwood and patchouli in the base notes create an overall balanced scent profile.
Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille Eau de Parfum
With brown sugar, nutty almond and delicate heliotrope, Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille is full of surprises. It starts with tangerine and orchid, leading to a warm base of creamy coconut and smooth sandalwood. The sleek, elegant bottle is just another plus when it comes to channeling clean, sophisticated aesthetics.
