Clean Cotton

Clean Cotton, inspired by Yankee Candle Clean Cotton

Clean Cotton aims for the smell of sheets drying outdoors. Ozone gives the airy, slightly metallic freshness of wind and open sky, and leafy greens with bergamot add a crisp, sunlit lift. Lily of the valley and rose form a pale floral middle that never becomes a bouquet. Underneath, musk, vetiver and cedar create the clean-skin, freshly ironed effect that laundry scents rely on.

About the original

Clean Cotton is one of Yankee Candle's long-running core fragrances, sold under a registered trademark in jar candles, wax melts, reed diffusers, plug-in refills and car fresheners. The brand compares it to sun-dried cotton sheets blowing in the wind and files it under Fresh & Clean. The original is a home fragrance, not a personal perfume, which is why ours reworks the scent for skin.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Yankee Candle stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Fans of the candle who would like a laundry-fresh scent to wear are the obvious audience. It is light, clean and musky, so a buyer after depth, sweetness or spice will find little to hold on to.

Is Yankee Candle Clean Cotton a perfume?

No. The original is a scented candle and home fragrance. We took its laundry-fresh scent and made it into a perfume you can wear.

It sits in the same clean-laundry territory, with ozone, white flowers and musk, though its documented notes also include bergamot, green leaves and woods.
