I have owned Sea Island Cotton from Bath and Body Works on and off since its launch in the 2000’s. I’ve got to say, there’s a reason why I always come back to it. I was an avid Cotton Blossom lover from BBW and was heartbroken when I found out that it was going to be discontinued and replaced with Sea Island Cotton.
Sea Island Cotton is a wonderful clean and cool fragrance that opens up with a burst of freshness met with a powdery trail. I do get plenty of floral in this, so for you floral lovers, rejoice! There is a sweet quality to this fragrance but not in a gourmand manner whatsoever. I do understand the market of people not wanting anything to do with a fragrance like this because they see it as boring or non complex. But, if you’re in the market for something that is reliable, safe, comforting, and just darn pretty, Sea Island Cotton is a great go to.
Funny enough, Cotton Blossom made a relaunch a while back so it is also available now but only as an online deal. Trust me when I say this, Cotton Blossom and Sea Island Cotton have their differences. Cotton Blossom has more grassy and citrus notes. Sea Island Cotton has a more beachy vibe with the white florals and sea breeze notes. But I do think that if you enjoy one, you’ll more than likely enjoy the other.
FanatikVolgograd – :
Very super similar to cotton Blossom !! It’s practically the same juice with a new name.
The scent is creamy-soft-powdery like Nivea cream. I use it after the gym.
UsemoGesaleks – :
Maybe it is right up your alley, and the bottle you tried/have is indeed starting to turn.
santos7171 – :
I love this perfume! It’s fresh, soft, restful and comforting. It’s an improved laundry smell. It is the perfect odor to relax and spend a cocooning evening. I like to put it in my blanket and my pillow. 🙂
P.S. : The comment before is written by me, my account only disconnected. ^^
uaz270speagoessenda – :
This smells like air freshener or dryer sheets. It’s a nice scent but not really one that I’d wear on my body. Instead I use it as a room spray and I also spray it on my clothes to make them smell fresh. It just smells like clean. It’s nice, don’t get me wrong, but in my opinion, it’s not suited to be a perfume.
Studik23 – :
I just purchased this one yesterday (the fragrance mist and body scrub for a phenomenal deal!!) based on reviews here and it is VERY pretty with a touch of sexy. 🙂 It has such a clean, cotton, fresh, light floral non-offensive scent and a very subtle “different” mild soft musk. I strongly agree with one reviewer of a “fresh laundry” aroma but much, much more lovely. It definitely has long lasting power on me (I can smell it a full 24 hours later on my clothing), the sillage is just right in my opinion too. I detect just a hint of citrus as well which gives it much more depth to me. I feel I could wear this easily during any season and day or night; as a fresh Summer evening stroll perfume after a day at the beach, a warm Winter romantic cuddled up by the fire alluring aroma, after the gym and on my way to work in the Fall in an unoffensive yet leaving inquiring minds fragrance or a morning pick me up Spring going shopping/running errands for the day scent. If you like the fresh, powdery, aquatic scents; you really just can’t go wrong here. Beautiful! ☺
Update: I’ve grown to REALLY love this scent and wear it often as I find it extremely easy to wear for virtually any occasion. I have also noticed, I am asked without fail by both men and women wanting to know what beautiful perfume I am wearing…a definite compliment grabber.
kirice – :
My second favorite from bbw,aside from dark kiss, it just smells very clean,nothing extraordinary but it’s clean and there’s something that just makes you feel comfortable wearing this scent,and what’s good about it is that it costs a cheap price as well,smells synthetic,but very subtle,a bit menthol? Just the slightest bit(?) anyways this is so good but i can’t even explain it to anyone
Bottle:4
Packaging:0(body mist)

yauhenikorzun – :
This was one of the first perfumes I’ve ever used.Sea Island Cotton is very fresh, pure, nostalgic, and calming. Even my boyfriend loves it on me!
ferid_1989 – :
Love it for hot summer days .I have shower gel ,lotion and fragrance at glass bottle
.
It some pure and clean scent of white fresh laundry:).
Yes there is something that remind Estee Lauder “white linen ” but little bit sweeter.
I bought also body mist but it was not so good.
Great longevity.
WBED – :
I absolutely love it! It smells exactly like finished laundry. It is not a sharp fragrance, just light, watery detergent. There is no warmth to this, but that that wasn’t something I expected. It is fresh, and not very musky. This is my current favorite from BBW.
Blomeinvili – :
This is my go to scent for days or nights when i just want to relax and feel clean. I wear a lot of fruity/floral/amber/vanilla scents and sometimes i just want to smell clean and fresh like a newborn baby . This scent almost reminds me of childhood in some ways….maybe my mom used some kind of lotion on me that smelled like this….its such a “pure” innocent scent. Its also good for layering since it is so pure you can wear almost anything with it.
i use the body wash, lotion and perfume in this scent it is very comforting.
sas123 – :
Cozy and comforting, easy to wear and relaxing. This is for days when you just want to lounge around or spend your day reading. It’s aquatic yet a little musky. A very homey type of scent that’s pretty much inoffensive and calming.
nik06 – :
Very soft, calm, polite and clean.
I get musk, cotton and sea notes very strong. Really reminds me of warm sea breeze scent. ‘Sea Island Cotton’ is such a perfect name to describe this fragrance.
It has nothing special but very nice for relaxing day.
hsa883Diobtetty – :
I like this one. I have the frag mist and use it as my “just at home” scent. Smells fresh and inoffensive, my toddler loves it on me. Low in longevity though, but then it’s the mist I got.
sslava1111 – :
This is a lovely fresh & clean scent. Great for the work place. It has good longevity too.
andrey_cl – :
I don’t have the fragrance for this scent but I do have the shower gel and body butter. I used both this morning and later noticed a light fragrance that kind of reminded me of Estée Lauder White Linen. It was perfect for this day that finally felt like spring might be coming!
cerber170578 – :
I love this fragrance. It smells clean and fresh. Perfect for a summer day. It’s the best of the BBW fragrances, IMO.
Unfortunately it disappears in less than an hour on me. I had to keep reapplying it throughout the day. Very annoying. As much as I love the scent, its lack of longevity is a huge drawback. I will never buy it again.
zartan – :
Love this scent. It’s wonderfully different from the typical floral-fruity combo. It is fresh and clean, but it’s also tropical and musky. I know others have said it smells too much like laundry soap, but I don’t feel that way. To me, this is one of the best scents out there.
ffffffffff – :
I love this! This is so unique, and I would wear it before sleep because it is a comforting scent remind me of my grandma’s fresh bedsheet~Love it
aberlin – :
This was very light on me. It has pretty great lasting power and an amazing smell. I like to put it on when I’m at home and its about to rain. Comforting and carefree.
santei_761 – :
This perfume has a funny story with me. Basically, when I was 12, my older cousin gave me a mini hand lotion I ritually would use on my hands every morning for about a year. It had a pleasant scent but I never cared about brands at that age, so once it was done, I didn’t bother to buy more, so I couldn’t find the fragrance for a while. This EDT was regifted to me by my mom many years later and it’s exact same scent as the lotion, which I figure was from B&BW.
I always talk about the packaging in my reviews, and the one that I have is a bit different than pictured. It’s closer to the new bottles with the big, clear caps, but there’s no picture on my bottle. It’s simple and classy and overall, just fine, nothing too special.
The fragrance, however, is very special. I’ve literally smelled nothing else like it. Sea Island Cotton smells just as the name suggests. There are some perfumes that literally take me to another place, and this one places me on a small, sandy beach, a white beach house behind me and a cool breeze wafting through fresh, clean, white cotton sheets to my left, the sun shining down overhead and the water reaching out to the horizon. If that doesn’t describe this fragrance, I don’t know what could. It’s aquatic, it smells like fresh, clean cotton sheets, it’s perfect for a summer day.
My only gripe with this fragrance is that it doesn’t last too long, but it’s such a light fragrance, it’s not too surprising. I still love it and just keep it in my purse if I go out.
Overall, this is one of my signature scents. I recommend it to anyone who loves a fresh, clean fragrance that isn’t citrusy or sickly. 10/10 from me, though I am biased.

pankalany – :
One of my favorites from BBW!
repunjupder – :
As I live on a sea island (Amelia Island off the coast of Florida) I wanted to try this. I find it’s a very homey, comforting scent that’s reminiscent of jasmine in the air and taking laundry off the line when the breeze is blowing and the rain is about to come in.
beloysov81 – :
This is the baby perfume in my collection so-far, I put it on when going to bed and it makes me feel so nice and pure in the morning. It’s a clean, totally unharmful scent, with a bit of a dreamy, nostalgic quality.
Works great for the gym as well.
Тарман – :
RELAXING , aquatic, clean ,breezy
Reminds me so much of an early childhood memory (don’t know why I guess its the calmness it gives)
makes you feel like u’re walking by the sea but it’s not on a very hot day , with rather cool sea breeze touching your face
The shower gel is also breath taking with its light blue colour & foamy scent
One of BBW’s unique master pieces
Droniwe10 – :
purchased this item blindly by reading the reviews. on me it smells like laundry then it dried out as dirty laundry. hated this.
ymp240InsuffBooni – :
I’ve had this for probably 6 or 7 years, and every time I try it, I’m surprised at how much I like it! Somehow I always misremember the scent as too harsh, but then I try it once to mix things up a little and I always like it!
Fresh, clean water and soft cotton, and a light, downy white musk on drydown. Simple, but effective. It sort of reminds me of a slow, foggy, rainy Saturday afternoon. Not crisp and watery like a cucumber, but like a thick mist or fog: soft, gentle, wet and cold at first, but still somehow a little warm.
I don’t know, I guess I’m waxing poetic. TL;DR: I liked it. It’s light, clean, very musky but a light skin musk.
perfect-m-tch – :
I really do enjoy wearing this scent. This is my signature day time scent.
I don’t pick up any of the “juiciness” that you would expect from the top note listing but just a crisp cotton/aquatic smell but it’s a soft cotton. My good guy friend likes it on me. Says I smell clean and that’s all women really needs in his opinion.
Update: I layered this with C.O. Bigelow Lemon No. 1999 that I also picked up at BBW and the combo is divine! The addition of a fresh, linear lemon really helps to bring out the juicier citrus notes I was previously missing in SIC. Very long lasting combo.
erik_ilya – :
I have worn this for many years…I think I first purchased it or a variation of it from BBW twelve years ago? could it be that long? I bought it when I was pregnant with my daughter and needed something in the summer to feel refreshed and this was it. It is refreshing and light and smells like clean linen. Its a great step of the shower feel fresh scent. Whenever I don’t know what to put on, this goes on. Doesn’t last long though. Too light. But it makes me feel happy and calm.
Edited: This site says this came out in 2007, but there was definitely a cotton blossom or some other scent that was the predecessor to this.
Assuffdrairee – :
I smelled this last year or so when my sister bought a lotion for me and one for my mom and told us to choose. I chose the Secret Wonderland because at that time I was trying to step out of my usual patterns but I really liked the SIC as well. So I recently smelled Sensual Amber and wanted to get it and of course they have the buy 2 get one free so I did the deal. I had read reviews for SIC but always thought it would fail at being clean like most fresh scents do. Most clean ones on me I love the top notes but towards the end of the day they smell sour or become putrid. I have found a few fresh scents that I like but this might be a love.
I used a few fresh scents when I was younger that I really liked but lately hadn’t been able to find any new scents that gave me that same feel and that lasted. When I got SIC the other day I liked it from the bottle but I didn’t think it’d be more than that but upon spraying the past couple days its like I’m literally transported to a happy place. This is just a really pleasant floral but it has depth. I also thought this would not last but man I wore it to work and when I say I could smell this at the end of my work day its an understatement…it was prevalent. I did use the lotion and spray but still this is great especially for a body spray.
Anyhoo…I really like this!! Its such a pretty scent. And this is just very pleasant but why must we always say oh its pleasant just for everyday but its nothing special! To me its the simple things in life that we remember the most. SIC’S clean simplicity is what makes it kind of unique!!
Den52rus – :
Sweet in a good, refreshing way (like limeade, although there’s no lime that I can smell in it), it’s a nice mix of sea air and white cotton with some surprisingly pleasant orange notes that manage not to be disruptive. A great perfume.
wnuevljlvx – :
this review is for the body splash, it is very soapy and it tickles the nose. I dont think you should wear this with any material except cotton or it will smell like strong detergent….it is very fresh with a cotton shirt in the summer…it will smell very nice on your bed sheet n pillow
ljs899bedyWelty – :
This is one of those scents I like to use when I’m heading somewhere where I don’t want my scent to be too strong,or overpowering.It’s a nice,fresh,laundry hanging on the line type scent. Fresh cotton,light florals,freesia being dominant,to my nose anyway.
I don’t normally enjoy this kind of scent,but for days like today,when I had a doctor’s appointment,it’s perfect.Just fresh and clean,nothing to sweet or strong.I also find it very comforting,like a blanket fresh out of the dryer,just comfy cozy!
Great for anytime you need something,fresh,clean or comforting. Sillage is moderate,but the longevity is amazing,I can still smell it,and it’s been at least 8 hours since applying! And that’s from the fine fragrance mist!
I highly recommend this,for those casual,just wanna smell fresh and clean days!
bridget_baby – :
I would like to add that if Goldie Hawn wears the expensive Creed Tubereuse Indiana, and Kate Hudson wears the expensive Angel Thierry Mugler, you can go to Bath and Body Works and buy two affordable fragrances that make you feel like Goldie, or Kate, or both. Dancing Waters is the closest thing to Tubereuse Indiana. Sea Island Cotton is the closest thing to Angel. Goldie and Kate fans can wear scents without paying through the nose, and they will always be satisfied.
Olezhon – :
What I like best about Sea Island Cotton is that to me, I am getting a feel of a French fragrance called Angel Thierry Mugler. Only Sea Island Cotton smells lighter and better than Angel. I love how Bath and Body fragrances give customers feels of more expensive French fragrances and the Bath and Body customers are wearing versions of their own. It is recommended for any time. Also, when I go to Florida, I take Sea Island Cotton along to add to the Florida air. I just love it.

lrustemov – :
At first, this seems to be a simple scent. It is like clean laundry, and that is the first impression. But, this is deceptively complex because the more you are exposed to it, the more notes you can detect. The cotton flower is what gives it that clean laundry scent, but there is so much more to this. Sandalwood gives it warmth, flowers give it freshness, musk and powder gives it a cozy feeling. There is still an additional airy quality to this too. This is very mild, fresh, and clean, yet warm and friendly. Great for hot days, great for casual occasions. Simply smells good.
grasmik.svetik – :
Very light and not offensive. But who wants to smell like laundry?
Подтуркин – :
When the heat index was 103? This stayed with me, and thrived. I was sweaty and it still smelled good! This is my new favorite daily wear in the summertime. You smell good, you don’t trigger allergic reactions. A perfect pick me up on humid, icky days.
The dry down is way different than the start, for me. it turns creamy, and yes, some powder, but there’s a lot to this innocuous little perfume.
Try it. You won’t be sorry.
b13vlad – :
Don’t let that “floral” label fool you. One of the more unique perfumes in B&BW’s collection, Sea Island Cotton belongs to a rare group of scents I would call not only clean but even sour. It is deceptively simple for having so many notes, and despite the lack of warmth or sweetness, serves as an interesting kind of pick-me-up. I would say that it goes best in only the hottest, muggiest days. It is much more powdery, salty, and soapy than it is fruity, and makes a good unisex scent too. As with most scents like this, don’t expect much longevity, though it may surprise some people. Overall not my absolute favorite from B&BW (I liked in more when I first got it), but something I think is unique and inoffensive, and depending on your body chemistry, could bring forward any of those lovely top notes. I find myself reaching for it when everything else is just too strong – and to top it all off, the new bottle is gorgeous.
soverina – :
I have the lotion in this, and it is perfect for those I-don’t-feel-like-wearing-perfume days. Smells clean, fresh, warm, snuggly and soft.. Very true to its name! And this could definitely be unisex.
werr222 – :
This smells like clean laundry, plain and simple. Brings to mind clean clothes just brought in from the clothes line, scented with fresh air, but warmed from hanging in the sun. At first it’s almost shocking how realistic it smells, but there’s something comforting about it. Soft,gentle and clean, but with no citrus at all. Great for people who just want something simple, fresh and clean and aren’t into fragrance much, and also for fume-heads who need a break but don’t want to go scent-less. A very welcome addition to my wardrobe.
VOLDEMARR76 – :
Your back yard overlooks the ocean. It is a warm, sunny, breezy day, and you have clean laundry drying on a line in your yard, over an immaculate garden.
That is what this smells like.
Soft, clean, inoffensive.
expacleMeance – :
This is my favorite fragrance for when I have a hangover. It makes my head feel so clean and calm.
DiupeNepuniok – :
This scent is the essence of a Virginia summer evening to me. Clean, breezy, soft and serene. It’s so comforting and is one I wear at nighttime.
Dracoshca – :
There are some fragrances that are on the market to make a statement; there are others that, in the opinion of many, are essentially non-fragrances, there to cater to the crowd that prefers to smell clean and inoffensive. I enjoy perfumes from both schools, but most days I want a scent that makes me feel comfortable, pretty, and put together, even if I am just wearing yoga pants and a sweatshirt. Sea Island Cotton is one of those fragrances.
Along with Moonlight Path, Sea Island Cotton has quickly become a daily, “just for me” scent. SIC is the ultimate calming scent, in my opinion. Yes, it does have that “clean laundry” vibe, which is actually what kept me from giving it a real shot for a long time. I can’t imagine there are many people that don’t enjoy the scent of good, clean laundry, but to wear a perfume that smells of laundry isn’t always quite as appealing. The initial impression of Sea Island Cotton really does smell of clean laundry, but it doesn’t necessarily stay that way.
The citrus in the top notes blend beautifuly with the linen and flowers so that they aren’t sharp or overly powerful – they give the fragrance a bright freshness. In the middle I think I detect a bit of the freesia and maybe a tiny touch of jasmine, still wrapped in that soft, clean, cottony linen. The final dry down is powdery and fresh, sweet without the candy and absolutely smooth. This is a different kind of “intoxicating” – it doesn’t scream sex appeal or desire; instead, it breathes gentle comfort. It may sound corny, but it is so true. While powdery scents can be heavy and oppresive in summer heat SIC remains light enough to be refreshing even on hot summer days. In fact, I would say that this fragrance is ideal for those days.
Overall, a gorgeous fragrance – it is not complex, doesn’t require any effort to wear, doesn’t feel the need to impress. I feel feminine, calm, and clean when wearing it.
PS – love bludreamer’s review of this fragrance!
rlj981InsuffBooni – :
nice smell , good for summer
birykvadim – :
When I first tried this in fragrance mist form in the store, I didn’t like it. The top notes were too citrus and crisp for me. But I needed a third small bottle to round out a 3 for $6 sale, so I decided to buy it just to have something different. I always go for deeper, woodsy, fruity scents.
Once you get past the stronger, more laundry-like top notes, it morphs into a lovely fresh smell. I’d describe it as powder with a fresh crispness, and a slight touch of flowers. I think this will be a nice spring/summer scent, or just for any day I want something a little different.
BMS – :
I think this is the best simple and inoffensive smell I’ve ever come across with. It does smell like clean laundry but with a dash of floral. It smells so simple and I swear I never thought the smell of fresh laundry could make me feel so feminine, calm and happy 🙂
I hope this never gets discontinued as I always want to have a bottle of this until I die. There are certain occasions or places when a simple and pleasant smell like this is all you should wear so as not to offend anyone.
My only complaint is longevity is pretty weak. It lasts only about an hour on me and I often find myself reapplying several times a day.
HommenikeShox – :
love this scent =) probably one of my favorites from b&bw. my sis and mom like it too, because most of the scents i get from bath and body works are fruity/floral. but this one just smells nice and clean, which is indeed refreshing.
tako74 – :
This scent has the clean smell of cotton as well as a touch of salty sea air which gives it that extra something special. It makes me think of standing on a cliff next to the ocean and the fresh crisp clean air whirling by.
harkov2011 – :
I know they have all kinds of notes listed above, but they are all blended so well, that all I percieve when I wear this scent is fresh, and clean! It epitomizes the definition of a clean, fresh scent.
Not sexy or elegant or any of that. Just fresh and clean. Sillage is fairly good, but you will need to re-apply every couple of hours. Nice clean scent!
leha-m – :
a lady I work with had just given me the lotion(I dont have the fragrance itself)and I gotta say I love this! no it doesnt make me smell like a walking candy store or a teeny bopper like almost all the other fragrances but this one is something unique! it brings back alot of memories of being a kid and rolling around in freshly washed and dried blankets and sheets when watching my Saturday morning cartoons! too me this scent is just snuggly and refreshing! perfect for all ages too! this would be one of those scents almost anyone can enjoy, and an easy choice as a gift to any friend who likes bath and body works
pavel22 – :
I sprayed this on the tester sheet and thought it smelled like laundry – except there was something additionally yummy about it.
But then when I sprayed it on my skin, it only smelled EXACTLY like dryer sheets 🙁
A good scent to have, but I would only spray it on my clothes.
WHY IS THIS SCENT LISTED ‘FOR WOMEN’???
It smells like fresh laundry. Should men not smell like fresh laundry? This is the most unisex scent from BBW.
paxan85 – :
I have this complete line for almost a month now & I would say that I like it but not crazy about it. I just wanna smell fresh all the time. And I feel fresh alright that sometimes I think I smell me like a detergent. Like fresh linens!!!!
tusheceinenia – :
I love the fresh smell of linens & sea breezes which this incorporates. Very fresh scent just outta the shower flavor…..love to spary it on my newly laundered bedsheets. Good for day wear or beddy-by.
Twin – :
I like this – it is very comforting and positive -happy scent. It reminds you of Downy or Snuggle dryer sheets – I guess a floral musk smell – more of a powdery lily-of-the-valley bouquet. It would go great with white and pastel blue cottons – sundresses or with jeans. Clean glossy hair and scrubbed skin and flushed cheeks. A great clean daytime smell.
Askplorom – :
I go back and forth between this one and the classic Cotton Blossom which to me is a sweeter cotton scent. They both smell like clean, fresh laundry.
venom131 – :
I love this entire line of products. I use the body wash and body cream nearly everyday. My everyday perfume is Warm Cotton by clean and together they work great on me. I get compliments everyday on how great and nice I smell. Yes I know, I start off smelling like clean laundry but after half an hour turns very feminine. Sillage and staying power is excellent. Plus it’s a lot cheaper and a lot better than the Clean Warm Cotton body wash and lotion.
Edit: I stopped wearing this in 2012 – even for every day it was getting to generic
Peshkov – :
clean powdery scent…perfect for summer hot days…feel very clean and fresh…just love it!Good job Bath and body works!
grargeCheancy – :
One of the best clean scents out there (along with the discontinued Dancing Waters). Perfect for a shower gel. However, I would not want to smell like clean sheets when I go out, so I stick to the shower gel.
Nilopazen – :
Sea Island Cotton smells just like fresh linen sheets from the dryer. A comforting clean fragrance like beach towels and fresh air. A perfect choice for when you don’t want a heavy floral or sugary sweet fragrance. Great scent! It is so fresh and clean!
Elena050184 – :
Strong fragrance with a very clean drydown. During the drydown, it smells like crisp, freshly laundered white shirts. Reminiscent of Cotton White, a discontinued fragrance from the Body Shop.
AMAZING SILLAGE!
Gumpalmracer – :
Body Spray review. I am a little strange with this perfume. One day I will love it with a passion, and another day I will hate it with a passion. I just have to be in the mood to wear it really. It is a sweeter floral perfume mixed with vanilla. It does remind me of clean clothes. 6 sprays lasts about 6 hours on me. I like this for the spring and summer
bot3232 – :
I’d been dying to try this perfume for quite awhile after reading all the good reviews about it, and about how clean it smells, and luckily I’ve now received a big bottle of it, along with BBW’s raspberry vanilla perfume, in a swap with the very nice Cristine. It’s my first foray into the world of Bath & Body Works fragrances so it’s pretty exciting for me!!
Sea Island Cotton definitely is a very clean smelling perfume that is reminiscent of freshly washed clothes, although to me it smells slightly artificial at first and has more of a fabric softener smell rather than the smell of clothes that have been hanging on a line outside in the sunshine to dry. On my skin though it smells more natural, softer and is very pleasant. It’s a good perfume to wear in the spring and summer although it could easily be worn year round because it’s so inoffensive and clean smelling. The staying power though isn’t great. On me it fades quite quickly and only lasts for a few hours before it seems to disappear. All in all it’s a very likeable, pleasant scent and I like it, although I still prefer my Oxygene perfume to wear when I want to smell super clean because to me it smells more natural, softer and more sexy!
tuklebik – :
it’s a very clean scent!good to wear at the workplace,because it’s inoffensive. I love it! I wear it whenever i don’t feel like wearing any scent, it’s either this or bvlgari omnia crystalline.
Vitek55 – :
This is similar to l’Artisan l’Eté en douce for me! But I prefer this one, because it’s a little bit sweeter. I also find some similarities with Moonlight path, that is my absolute favourite fragrance; on my skin MP is powdery musk + sweet flower, while SIC is powdery musk + cotton. It’s confortable and wereable all year round…it makes me feel fine, clean and happy!
bev752InsuffBooni – :
Very clean. This is like the equivalent of sitting in the middle of a cotton field near the ocean. Relaxing and delightful!
buy-zithromax – :
Crispy clean fresh and ready for action….it is what has become my signature scent, my everyday wear…specially for summer. I tend to wear others for special occasions and for getting close, but for every morning and everyday wear, I layer the shower gel, body lotion and body spray the perfume too and I am set for the day, LOVES IT!!
dred19833005 – :
Almost all my perfumes are sweet,musky and floral scents.So, i m tired and bored of wearing such kind of scents. I bought ‘sea island cotton’ cause it is fresh,light,clean and pure to refresh my mind and I like to wear it on hot days.
ysv883Negeltzex – :
This is one of my favorites. It’s soft and clean, like snuggling with a blankie when I was little. For that reason, I think I find it comforting. But it’s not all powder and laundry soap either. There’s a subtle complexity to this making you feel like you’re sitting on your beach front porch with a cup of tea wrapped in a freshly washed blanket first thing in the morning, watching the waves break on the shore and hearing the gulls call. It’s an aptly named fragrance where I pick up the sea air as much as I pick up the freshly washed cotton. Good stuff.

Pure joy and comfort! A sister to Rain-kissed Leaves,
perhaps? The scent is cool, soft and fresh and fluffy,
like clean laundry ready to be hung in the breeze.
The juicy top notes give a mild tangy but oceanic spray
while the flowers at the middle caress and bloom on your
skin.
The final notes are gentle, soft and sweet, yet laundry
fresh.
I LOVE this scent 🙂

This smells heavily of synthetic musk (white musk), which is used to scent many laundry products. If you love how your clothes smell fresh out of the dryer, then this is for you! I, on the other, don’t like smelling like I just doused myself in fabric softener. Pass.

im not gonna lie i wear this before i go to bed because it smells clean like i was just washed. i wear it in the morning to school to whenever i go with my hair wet because it makes me smell even cleaner and fresh. i woulnt use it as my scent though i just wear it when i want to feel cleaner than usual.

Favorite scent from B & B. The only one I really wear anymore from there. I prefer the sanitizer, lotion and body wash to the perfume or spray. and I spray another clean scent with the lotion.
