Suitable for the Clean Scent Faction
After reading Friedaherz's comment, I sprayed this fragrance on my wrist to refresh my memory.

Also on the recommendation of a dear fellow perfume enthusiast, I ordered it blind to have even more options for smelling clean than I already do.

The very nice and fragrance-interested owner of the online store where I ordered the scent, mentioned by Friedaherz, describes it as a "fragrance for lovers of soapy scents."
And with that, she got me *gg*.

I was not disappointed. On the contrary, the scent does not match my initial expectations, but it is definitely a lovely discovery.

For this is not a detergent-like or powdery rose scented clean fragrance. Nothing that reminds you of shower gel scents, modern laundry detergent fragrances, Chloe's clean scent, or anything else I know.

I can't even pick out individual notes except for one: Freesia!!
A strong Freesia. With a bit of fresh laundry that gets pushed back into the washing machine by the Freesia.

A cool, completely unsweetened light green-white floral scent that feels clean.
Unusual, to say the least. Suitable for the warmer season.
It lasts moderately, and the price-performance ratio is right.
Addendum 12.06.13:

At the current 24°C, I now also get more fresh laundry associations than in March. Additionally, I distinctly perceive a fine lily of the valley-musk accord in the drydown.
This makes me like the scent even more. It may develop better in the warmth.

Laundry Room
Yes, am I in washing machine heaven - although, for washing machines, detergent means work?! Do washing machines think about that or do they just function? Don't washing machines have a heart? Why do they so often refuse to do their job? Washing machine conspiracy?!?

After receiving information from a Parfumo member that this fragrance would primarily smell of freesia, I thought: WOW, a perfume for me. Because I’m not at all into "detergent scents," that’s really not my thing. Of course, I immediately ordered a sample, tried it, and...
...pure detergent, as if I had rubbed detergent, nice and clean and cool-smelling, on my wrist. This is how this scent was also promoted by the very friendly seller, as a detergent scent - and now you can see that it works for some in terms of fragrance and not for others. Whether the perfumer intended this scent association or if it’s just a side effect of this fragrance creation is unclear to me. For me, the freesia scent would have been nicer, but the scent itself is well made, lasts long, and therefore, of course, gets an appropriate rating from me.

Best regards to all functioning washing machines in this world (especially from my model that also works on Sundays)!

A scent like freshly washed laundry
After a long search, I have finally found the absolutely most beautiful laundry scent for me.
The fragrance gives you the feeling of being freshly showered all day long and enveloped in freshly washed laundry.
The scent is by no means intrusive; I love wearing it at the office or just at home.
It doesn’t smell sweet, nor powdery; it simply smells wonderfully clean.

Smells like thick lotion and intentionally unperfumed. Add cotton gloves, pink slippers, and a book - enjoying a single evening :)

Clean-fresh, gentle scent. Smells like a big mountain of freshly washed laundry and cream. For the clean-freaks among us noses.

Nivea cream, this thick, pasty white classic cream from the blue jar... I only smell Nivea... and that for at least 10 hours.

Clean, creamy, fresh: Cloudy-white clean scent for a little money!

A very lemony musk scent like 'Penaten cream'. It feels rather bright and aldehydic to me. I can't identify the flowers.
