EYE STYLE - Rissa M. Samson -
Nothing is more mind-blowing than the scent of a fresh and clean man. He’s the guy in a crisp and well-pressed white shirt and jeans. The kind that makes a girl gush, close her eyes, and dream of melting in his arms. I doubt it’s the white shirt and I doubt even more it’s the jeans. There’s just that something that draws you to him. That fresh, out-of-the-shower scent — confident, well-groomed, clean. Sigh. After all, a man who can take good care of himself is probably a man who can take care of you.

Clean. Really unforgettable.

Oh, that just-stepped-out-of-the-shower scent! A smell so simple but so desirable. Everybody just wants to smell good. And that’s what inspired Randi Shinder to create Clean in April 2003, a fragrance reminiscent of pure soap and to capture that universal fresh-out-of-the-shower scent.

"A love for fragrance is really what inspired me to create Clean," shares the Montreal native. "I don’t really wear a lot of fragrance, but I really have always been a fanatic." After wearing her own creation, Clean captured the attention of friends and family and she knew she had something she could not keep to herself.

"Clean is made for the woman who doesn’t respond to typical fragrance ads that blend beautiful scenery with beautiful people. Clean is for people who just want to smell good," explains Shinder. "The fragrances are meant to reflect the moment when you just step out of the shower and nothing more. We’re not here to promise you that if you wear this fragrance your life is going to be beautiful and you’re going to have a beautiful man and gorgeous children running around. But we can promise that you will smell good."

"I think the name Clean is very timely in the world we live in," she continues. "Everything is so complicated around us and we worry about everything. The message of the fragrance is simplistic and I think that’s appreciated right now."

Indeed, the name says it all. Clean is an exclusive fragrance for the simple side of a complicated life. The uniquely fresh-smelling scents inspired by soap are formulated in small quantities, ensuring all ingredients are fresh, pure and of the highest quality. After all, the Clean man or woman wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall, Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Charlize Theron are just some of the few fans of Clean.

And if you think there’s only one way of smelling clean, think again. Under DLish, the fragrance arm of Clean, Shinder has created different fragrances of Clean. Each scent starts with a bar of soap and then different fragrance notes are added before it’s turned into a fragrance. Every fragrance is meant to give the consumer that fresh-out-of-the-shower feeling that everybody can relate to. It all began with one Clean scent, and now the phenomenon continues.
Clean Eau de Parfum
The original Clean perfume is a fragrance option for those who don’t want to smell like a particular perfume, but prefer that fresh just-out-of-the-shower smell. Clean combines fragrance notes of litsea cubeba, orange, sweet lime, pink grapefruit, passion lily, rose geranium and white musk.
Clean Sweet Layer
This fragrance combines notes of sweet orange, grapefruit, lime, neroli, and rose to add a sweet feminine layer to the scent while maintaining the Clean essence. Original Eau de Parfum and Sweet Layer, when worn together, combine to create one of the most unique fragrance combinations. Clean Sweet Layer on its own is fresh, sweet, and easy to wear.
Clean Eau de Toilette
This is the perfect Clean, soapy-fresh, just-stepped-out-of-the-shower fragrance experience with fragrance notes of green wild berry, night jasmine, calabrian bergamot, sweet orange, grapefruit, lime, neroli and rose damascenia with middle notes of violet, English lavender and geranium-heliotrope with a white musk base.
Clean Men
There’s no way to replicate the way a man smells when he just showered but Clean Men comes very close! You’ll be nuzzled in tight because with notes of ruby red grapefruit, English lavender, wild raspberry, clove, lime, olibanum, patchouli and musk, he’ll smell great and clean!

Clean Provence will pamper you with a delicate, just-lathered fragrance.
