9 Fragrances That Smell Clean for Sweaty Summer Days

You can always count on Demeter for its literal interpretations of scent. This crisp, delicate one will make you feel like you just put on a fresh-from-the-dryer shirt. 

Whether you want to beat the heat or freshen up after a tough workout, Byredo's white rose, neroli, and blonde woods scent will get the job done.

This simple soap-and-water scent is just the trick for cooling down on a steamy afternoon. That is, if the soap was handmade in France with bergamot, water lily, and cool greens, and the water came from a babbling brook. 

When you're running late to work during a summer heatwave, Margiela's lazy morning-inspired scent will keep you calm, and from smelling like you just ran 10 city blocks.

With "clean" and "cotton" in its name, this fragrance can do you no wrong. Lemon, orange, sheer woods, and musk notes keep you smelling sweet, but fresh. 

Woodsy notes aren't known for evoking a light and airy feeling, but the mix of sage, ambrette seeds, and sea salt in this Jo Malone scent feels fresh instead of heavy. 

No paid time off this summer? Consider Tom Ford's blend of shisho leaf, jasmine, and lemon basil notes the next best thing to actually escaping the humidty. As a nod the the Almafi coast, the scent instantly makes you feel like you're seaside, breathing in salty ocean air and night-blooming flowers.

Inspired by a morning countryside stroll, this scent, with notes of sparkling moss, vanilla grass, cucumbers, and grapefruit, is a refreshing departure from your steamy subway or bus ride to work. 

This fragrance has bottled that post-downpour moment when the humidity has lifted and the city streets smell fresh (and not like melting trash).
