As fun as mysterious perfume names can be, there’s something refreshing about a fragrance that tells you exactly what you’re getting. All of Clean Classic’s scents are inspired by life’s simplest comforts—fresh laundry, soap, and crisp air—and Warm Cotton is an editor-favorite for its subtle blend of citrus, lemon verbena, cotton flower, orange blossom, musk, and amber. “It captures that just-out-of-the-dryer feeling perfectly,” says contributing commerce writer Christa Joanna Lee.
Ellis Brooklyn Sun Fruit Eau de Parfum
If booking a beach vacation isn’t in the cards right now, Ellis Brooklyn’s Sun Fruit is the next best thing. Inspired by bare skin, ripe fruit, and long days in the sun, the fragrance pairs juicy fig, pear, and bergamot with creamy coconut, jasmine, vanilla, and musks for a scent that feels like a tropical getaway bottled up. Even the cheerful lemon-lime bottle feels like a postcard from somewhere warm. “It’s sunshine in a bottle and I’m instantly energized with every spritz,” says commerce editor Sarah Han.
DedCool Xtra Milk Eau de Parfum
If you loved the original DedCool Milk Eau de Parfum but wished it lingered just a little longer, Xtra Milk is exactly what you’re looking for. The Best of Beauty-winning fragrance takes the skin-like scent and turns up the volume, amplifying its blend of bergamot, white musk, and amber for a warmer take. It’s soft, clean, and cozy—like your favorite white T-shirt, only in fragrance form. “Xtra Milk is like burying your face in laundered linens, wading in sunshine in a quiet open field,” says senior editor Jesa Marie Calaor.
