Clean Outdoor Shower

Clean is a company that is well known for their fresh and easy to wear fragrances. The company was first launched in 2003 by Randi Shinder who desired a fragrance that was reminiscent of pure soap, the universal fresh out of the shower scent. Unable to find a fragrance of this type to her liking, she developed the original Clean fragrance. Thie line of perfumes are formulated in very small quantities to ensure that all ingredients are fresh, pure, and very high quality. The brand has since expanded with several more fresh fragrances and Outdoor Shower is one that has been released in the past few months.

I was initially attracted to Outdoor Shower because its bottle is a beautiful shade of green. This is what caused me to pink up the bottle at Sephora and the fragrance inside is what caused me to want to buy it. The Sephora website states that, "Fresh, green, dewy, and exhilarating this floral scent is inspired by the experience of showering al fresco, secluded by nature. Heady exuberance and feel-good freedom have been captured and bottled in this crisp, clean, leafy-green scent. Extracts of water lily, violet leaves, and sparkling bergamot with hints of tropical rain accord and sandalwood blend into a refreshingly simple fragrance". This fragrance is both green and floral and the water notes come out very nicely upon application.
The notes are - Aquatic Accord, Bergamot, Violet Leaves, Muguet, Water Lily, Tropical Rain Accord, Musk, Sandalwood.

None of the Clean fragrances have much staying power therefore I highly recommend them during the hottest days of the summer. This one is one of the more complex ones, in that it contains the rain and floral notes. The green notes in this fragrance really come out and make it a crisp, pleasant fragrance for casual days.
