Clean Reserve

by - May 19, 2016

Fresh, minty, powdery and light is what I look for when it comes to my perfumes. I am very particular about the scents that I wear and would often go for something that has a powder-like smell.  The reason for this is that I easily get dizzy with strong floral, candy-ish scents, so I stay away from those. But I remember getting my very first bottle of Clean Rain (from the original line) three years ago and it has been a favorite of mine. 

Now Clean launches their new line CLEAN RESERVE. :)




Since 2003, CLEAN has been an innovator in the world of fragrance that works from a simple and eco-conscious philosophy. A pioneer of simple and eco-conscious perfumes, CLEAN believes in sustainable beauty. 

CLEAN renews its commitment to producing perfumes through more sustainable and responsible processes. Whether it's ensuring replenish natural resources, harvesting and planting more responsibly, or supporting the communities and farmers by protecting their livelihoods, CLEAN abides to its promise of being an eco-conscious brand. 

You're buying more than just a perfume, but something that is concerned about it's surroundings and people. :) In fact, its partner manufacturing facilities are all 100% solar powered, ensuring that CLEAN is able to lower its carbon footprint to protect the earth. In addition, all product packaging, from the box to the cellophane, is biodegradable and recyclable - even the alcohol used from the perfume base is corn derived.




The event was held at Black Bird and hosted by our good friend Say Alonzo. :) We also had the pleasure of meeting the President of Fusion Brands USA, Sir Greg Black. :) He flew in to the Philippines just for this event and left a few hours after. So much dedication!

"CLEAN is a 'non-perfumed' perfume loved by those who don't want an overpowering scent, and for those who don't want to make a statement when they walk into a room. But they want to smell good for themselves and the people close by." - Greg Black

The scent of CLEAN was initially inspired by a bar of soap, but has since evolved to evoke simple and very familiar memories. They remind you of warm cotton, clean linens, and fresh towels being pulled out from the dryer. These classic fragrances from the original House of CLEAN line have garnered their own cult following. But CLEAN has imagined new scents for the new generation. In its latest incarnation, the brand introduces CLEAN Reserve.

And the beauty of CLEAN Reserve perfumes is that you can layer it with other CLEAN Reserve scents. You can pair at least 2-3 when wearing it. :)

For this new line, CLEAN Reserve introduces 9 fragrances made from the perfumers' reserve collections. 


VELVET FLORA

 CLEAN Reserve Velvet Flora is a sophisticated and alluring fragrance that exudes brightness and confidence through a blend of effervescent bergamot, bright tangerine, exotic saffron, patchouli, and leathery woods. The perfumer was inspired by an aura of effortless elegance and poise that's indescribably alluring.

Fragrance pairing: Sueded Oud, Amber Saffron and Terra Woods.

AMBER SAFFRON

 Amber Saffron is an irresistible fresh blend of delicate florals, soothing musks, warm amber, and exquisite saffron. The result is a beautiful contrasts of fresh and spicy, exciting yet comforting scent that leaves a lasting impression. The perfumer was inspired by the seductive tension that from what's desired and what's forbidden.

Reminds me of Romeo and Juliet, right? 

Fragrance Pairing: Sueded Oud, Smoked Vetiver and Velvet Flora.


What I'm holding is my most favorite CLEAN Reserve scent - WARM COTTON. :)

 Warm Cotton brings the ultimate feeling of luxurious comfort to life with a blend of beautiful floral cotton accords, elegant plush lily, amber and three dimensional musks. The feeling of deep comfort and ultimate coziness that's irresistibly fresh and inviting inspired the perfumer.

Personally, the scent reminds me of when my lola does laundry and fresh sheets! ^_^
