Everyone’s obsessed with perfumes that smell like clean laundry, and these 5 are by far the longest-lasting

There’s something so calming about the fresh scent of laundry. It gives you the same feeling as, say, stepping out of the shower, a freshly vacuumed floor or a newly organized closet — a clean feeling. Research shows clutter and mess in a home can lead to stress, and for some people, the repetitive task of cleaning can help them destress. However, even if you don’t have time to physically clean, you can at least smell like you did and maybe gain a small sense of calm.

Quick Overview

Right now, people on TikTok and beyond are loving perfume that smells like clean laundry. No surprise, there are actually quite a lot of brands trying to bottle up the fresh scent, too. Most of them contain notes of fresh linen, warm cotton, bright bergamot or water lilies. However, all five of the perfumes that smell like clean laundry below are definitely fresh, last a long time and have shoppers buying them on repeat.

Price starts at $27 and varies based on size.

If you do a quick Google search of “perfume that smells like clean laundry,” you’ll no doubt come across Philophy’s Pure Grace scent. It’s an elegant fragrance with top notes of water lily, middle notes of leafy greens and a musky base, according to its product description at Ulta. Note that there isn’t any “cotton” in there, so you won’t exactly smell like your clean towels, but maybe that’s a good thing.

Price starts at $35 and varies based on size.

What do you do on a lazy Sunday morning? You sleep in, preferably in your soft, clean sheets. Maison Margiela’s ‘REPLICA’ fragrances all evoke a memory or a place, and this pure scent is inspired by memories of waking up on a warm and sunny Sunday morning wrapped up in your soft cotton sheets. It has notes of lily of the valley, iris accord and white musk, according to its product description on Sephora.

Price starts at $29 and varies based on size.

Clean Reserve is a fragrance brand that’s known for its simple and clean scents. However, if you really like the scent of cotton and linen, this is the one for you — it literally has it in the name. Warm Cotton has notes of bergamot, benzoin and musk, and the brand describes it as a unisex fragrance “with crisp airy freshness that settles to a warm cotton musk.”

Price starts at $225 and varies based on size.

This Maison Francis Kurdjian perfume is a well-known luxury perfume. It’s light and clean due to its notes of bergamot, lemon, lily of the valley, mock oranges and wood. Some may describe it as a laundry scent, whereas others may say it’s more of a clean skin scent (both are oddly satisfying).

Price starts at $205 and varies based on size.

Byredo is another luxury fragrance brand, and Blanche is one of its cleanest-smelling scents. Blanche literally translates to white in French: White cotton sheets and soft white towels. Although, the perfumer writes that they created this fragrance with a specific person in mind, capturing her innocence. It has notes of white rose, pink pepper, violet, neroli, peony, blonde woods, sandalwood and musk. So while it’s clean and light smelling, it still packs a punch.
