Clean laundry fragrances that don't lean feminine!

[Ghaeth Wardeh]

Hello everyone! I hope you doing well

Can you recommend please clean laundry fragrance that doesn't lean feminine?

I find this type of scents so relaxing and mood enhancing, and it evokes wonderful childhood memories.

I like Petit Matin, Aqua Universalis and Blanc Polychrome from Atelier des Ors, but I find them lean feminine.

I own Nio from Xerjoff

Thanks in advance


Greetings,
Ghaeth

Lacoste Match Point Cologne fits into this genre for me. and it has a greener, more masculine vibe than some of the others.

Dior Homme Cologne is also sharp enough to retain masculine appeal while being primarily a white musk/clean sort of smell.

Maybe Kiehl's Original Musk and Jovan Musk or White Musk for Men.

Prada Amber gives me this feeling.

I like the recommendation of Match Point. Just tried it once but it was nice!


Have you tried Sung Homme?

nope!

Match Point Cologne (2022) is the one though not to be confused with the original EDT.

Reflection Man fills this niche for me

 

[Pippin06]

I second the recommendation for Dior Homme Cologne.
For a very old-school soap sort of laundry smell, vintage Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. Although that's quite soapy and very last century, as much as I like it.

I definitely get this from English Laundry Signature. Not very expensive, as an added bonus.

I would say Special Reserve Neroli by Castle Forbes is in a similar vein as Petit Matin while being more traditionally masculine.

I am unfortunately not sure where you might be able to find a sample of it since it is a yearly limited release, but looking at what you've already tried and own I think the price could be quite reasonable within your range (and hasn't changed since 5 years ago when I bought my own bottle to boot). To me it is a fairly safe blind buy for a fresh scent but I'm sure others here have given lots of good suggestions to try already as well.

Just thought I'd mention it since I think it is a hidden gem, especially for the price. (£95 for 100 ml)

Another one I would mention is Pierre Guillaume's Le Musc et La Peau. To me the combination of rosemary and clean musks in that one does make me think of sun-warmed fresh linens, and I don't smell anything in it that marks it as "feminine." This one should be much easier to find for sampling.

Add Mugler Cologne to the list?

 

[notspendingamillion]

Carven Leau Intense seems perfect.

Maybe not exactly like clean laundry fragrance, but Parade might be worth smelling if you find the MFK ones a bit too feminine. Beautiful elegant, and radiant, citrus that that gives off an upscale spa feeling for me.

I feel like Parade could be pumped out of the vents from this place. There's a feeling of gentle relaxation that smells posh, uplifting and calming at the same time. I really get a vibe of someone who is posh, but also down to earth, approachable and someone you would feel comfortable in confiding in. There is a clean feeling as well, like freshly steamed white towels.

Comme des Garçons Marseille
Milano Fragranze Naviglio

Many of the Narcisso Rodrigez offerings have that vibe as well.

 

[Zenwannabee]

Maybe Hermes H24.

I also get this from certain ‘90s fragrances like ck one and be, or Aspen, or Bulgari L’Homme.

Prada Amber gives me this feeling.

this is what came to mind. Perhaps my "safest" scent that I own, but damn, I am very impressed with it. Didn't think it would align with my general tastes of heavy, dark, rich scents, but it's a winner to me.
