I got this as a free sample from Sephora. It does NOT smell like soap. It smells like a wet dog mixed with sunscreen. I couldn't wash it off fast enough.

Got a tiny bottle as a sample at sephora and I immediately fell in love. I like how it smells on me, smells like I just got out of shower. I learn that if you put too much, it's overpowering and smells like cheap soap though, so put it sparingly.

Can I give less than 1 star? Got this at Marshall's for $12.99. Thought it was an awesome deal since I love almost all the scents from "Clean". However, this is by far the foulest smelling, nastiest odor called a "perfume" that I have EVER had the misfortune of smelling. Not sure about the "plastic" scent. I smell toilet cleaner. this is so nasty and so hard to remove. WOW. Just. Wow.

The reviewer that said this is like liquid plastic was spot on. I can't believe that a company can advertise this as a "clean," smell...unless you're a newly-packaged plastic toy! Horrible! I have not had much luck with the CLEAN fragrances. I don't mind Ultimate, Warm Cotton or Provence but the rest are just awful and synthetic-smelling. Really surprised there's not a better "nose" at the Clean company that can spot a bad fragrance before it's sold for $69!

I am shocked that this has such low marks! I got a sample vial of this yesterday at Sephora, after wanting to try some of these CLEAN fragrances for some time...and I am loving this! I was leary that the scent of these wouldn't last long, but this is staying on me very well. I just feel like I smell very clean and soapy :) The price of this is high in my opinion. $69 for a bottle that is just over 2 ounces. I wouldn't spend that on myself - maybe I need to ask for this as a gift from someone! Sephora.com states that the scent features: Bergamot, Frangipani, Lotus Blossom, Rose Oil, Violet, Musk.

What they said. This is unbelievably bad - I bought it from Marshall's in the sealed box (yay, SCORE!!) but when I got it home, I had been punked.....It's like liquid plastic (cheap shower curtain plastic) in a bottle. Back to the store it went!

I just bought this today, this does have a pond smell. It smells like my fish aquarium when I clean it out. I plan on returning this very soon.

This perfume is pretty unique. On the plus side: it reminds me of my freshman year in college. On the minus side: the reason it reminds me of my freshman year of college is because it smells like the showers in the women's dorm. It's this weird mix of shampoo, hair gel, wet plastic shower curtains, and mildew. Lots of mildew.

I really think that the Clean company has a big problem with the quality of their ingredients because it seems the perfumes I buy from them are always rancid/off. This or the concept of clean they have is a synthetic acidic intoxicating fumes that will suit more Killer Croc. To the swap it goes.

The worst smell ever. Wet dog. I had to repeatedly wash my wrist to get rid of the smell. Nauseating.

There's a stagnant pond note that comes through once the fragrance dries. I thought that I might have bought a bad bottle of this stuff, then I saw the other bad reviews here.

I'm going to lend this to my sister to see what she thinks. I won't clue her in on what I don't like about it. I wonder if she'll also notice something's off.

Wet Dog is right. Yuck. Was at Sephora tonight spritzing away and at first it smelled yummy. By the time I got home, I wished I could cut off my arm, it smelled that bad. I can't believe how awful this smells. Obviously I didn't read these reviews before I went and sprayed this nastiness on my wrist.

I love this fragrance it smells so fresh & clean, like you just stepped out of the shower. I found this at TJ Maxx dirt cheap & I am so glad I followed my instincts & gave this one a try!

I was at first a little hesitant to open it & smell it because of the negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly think this is one of those perfumes you either love or hate & there is no in between.

Everyone's body chemistry is different, & what smells great on one person may be completely revolting on another, so I think it's just a matter of what blends well with you.

I was so excited to see this Clean fragrance at Marshall's because I had liked the other scents before it (despite their measly staying power). I was lucky to find a package that had been opened so I tried it... and well...


You know the feeling you get when you are having dinner somewhere and you go to take a sip of your drink and the glass smells fishy, so much that you nearly gag? Or when a wet dog goes by you and you recoil in disgust? It smells like that except it's worse because it a fragrance - not a passing moment or a dog you can shoo away. The little bit I spritzed on my sweater lasted awhile but I couldn't wait to get home and wash it off.


This fragrance makes my stomach turn.

Ok, so I was initially overjoyed to find this at Marshall's for a great price, but after reading the reviews here, I was skeptical about even opening it. Well, curiousity got the best of me, and I had to see what the fuss was about. I REALLY wanted to be in the minority here and hoped the 'wet dog' reference was just their chemistry reaction. With just a small spritz on my wrist, I didn't think it was THAT bad at first. What turned me off was the underlying citrus base that is prominent in a few of Clean's other fragrances. After 10 minutes, it got a little nauseating, then I could smell just a tiny hint of "wet dog". I'm not sure why this was named Simply Soap. It smells NOTHING like soap. Their Clean Lather should have been named Simply Soap considering it smells exactly like Dove's pink bar soap. Anyway, this must be returned immediately. I love a few of Clean's other fragrances, but this is not good at all.

NASTY NASTY! This stuff is the worst excuse for a fragrance I have ever had the horror to sample. I CANNOT wash it off either - even tried dish soap! I just keeps on sticking to my skin. I simply cannot imagine what Clean had in mind when they came up with this STINKER!

Literally a clean fragrance. Smells so fresh, like you just got out of the shower. Fragrance also lingers quite a long time.

My sister bought this perfume at Ulta... I wish she would have read some reviews first. At first, I think she thought it smelled good. Later on she asked, "does this smell like creek?" I had to politely agree.

Every description that's been used for this perfume is spot on. Creek. Pond water. Wet dog. It really is THAT bad. I've never smelled such a terrible fragrance.

All of the best descriptions have been used below and all I can add is that this is one of the worst dirty fishbowl smelling stuff(I refuse to call it a fragrance)I've ever had the misfortune to buy. OMG.. this stuff is unholy awful! I want to cry for my nose to have been assaulted with this mess.
