Clean, fresh and cozy — when it comes to fragrances, this usually means to look for floral, herbal and musky notes, but we all know, all too well, that not all fragrances that fit this description bring that elusive, uplifting lightness and coziness we want from a clean-smelling scent.

Lightness doesn't always mean "fleeting", though; as in, these perfumes will most definitely linger on and on, each with their own unique composition. Some of them are more discreet, others are more potent (perfect for colder days), and some will have people eagerly asking just what that is that you're wearing. One thing they all have in common is elegance in a clean scent. These covetable perfumes may not be cheap, but you will definitely smell...expensive. Some of them are better suited for day wear, others for night and work (office) wear. We've rounded up clean, fresh and warm-smelling perfumes from brands you know and love, as well as some niche perfumes; they vary in intensity and their smell pyramids (top, middle and base notes) are diverse, so go on to discover a new scent of you for 2023!
