Sniff with Me - Six Scents from Clean Reserve!

[@dbbsharkey]

😁🤣🤣You are the first American person I've heard use the word SKANKY !!! Here in Scotland, that means like a tramp lol. What would you describe as a skanky note? Loving your humour x

[@SCENTGOURMAND]

Well, a) I'm Canadian and b) mom's British and c) 4 of my good mates are Scotts! Yep, skanky is the right word!

Your rapidly degenerating opinion from vegetal to ashtray to baby oil, unwashed…😂 ❤ 👏 I haven’t tested any Clean yet. I’ve been curious about the Warm Cotton - classic and this reserve. Not sure it’ll do anything for me, but who doesn’t want to smell a “Tide” perfume at least once?😅 (Clothesline graphic really drives it home!) I’ll check out some of these next fraggy-beauty outing. I’m dabbling in some of the “more natural” / more “clean” category (really, everything’s a chemical, and sorry PR teams but no perfume is actually “hypoallergenic” 🙄) since I’ve done okay allergy-wise with a few of the Henry Rose (Queens & Monsters, Smyth) and The 7 Virtues (Santal Vanille, Orange Blossom) scents. None groundbreaking but pleasant. I got hosed down with Bond No. 9’s ($$$) Scent of Peace Natural - high hopes for it but, meh. And I despised Henry Rose’s Fog. That’s the extent of my “cleaner” fragrance experience to date. 🤷‍♀️

I like the 7 virtues!!! Canadian company, eh! Allergies are a real problem for many people. And compounds being natural or fake often has little to do with it, sadly. Have you tried Keihl's original musk? I think that one is a hit for those who like the soapy clean musk vibe.

@@SCENTGOURMAND 😎I like the mission of🇨🇦The 7 Virtues!🍁 I just ordered two more scents to try. I’ve never tried the Kiehl’s, thanks I’ll check it out! 👍 Agree, in my experience natural vs. synthetic is not the kicker for allergies. I’m mildly allergic to some roses, so a natural rose extract can be WORSE than a manmade chemical. Started looking into some of these “clean” lines since they are more open about their fragrance ingredients. Be great if I can narrow down any problem elements. Henry Rose is a mix of natural and synthetic. (I didn’t like the “Fog” drydown on me but not for allergy reasons.)
