I’ve been a fan of clean beauty brandFresh for quite some time. Its formulas are truly some of the best, and they always leave my skin looking and feeling brighter and highly nourished. The brand’s Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Toner ($45) never fails to enrich my complexion with hydration and the sweet, faint scent of rose. Naturally, my undying love for this rose-scented gem led me to scope out the brand’s collection of richly aromatic fragrances next. And boy, I was not disappointed.
Each is crafted to be light, uplifting, and true to the brand’s refreshing ethos. There are some earthier scents, some floral, and some fruity—there’s truly something for everyone. To get the lowdown on the best mood-lifting fragrances Fresh has to offer, I went straight to the source. I tapped the brand for a few details on its best sellers with a bit of backstory from the brand’s co-founder Lev Glazman. Read on below for which ones to add to your collection.
Key notes: Mandarin, Italian lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, lotus flower, transparent jasmine, rhubarb, musk, peach. “This best-selling fragrance features notes of energizing citrus and clean florals to awaken your mind and refresh your senses. A medley of intoxicating citruses is paired with notes of bergamot, lotus flower, and rhubarb. “I’m a great lover of citruses and always playing with the many variations that exist. With this scent, I wanted to pair pink grapefruit with a medley of other citruses—lemon, bergamot, tangerines, oranges—that has depth but still maintains the classic, clean essence of a citrus that is so completely addictive.” — Lev Glazman, co-founder of Fresh
Key notes: Indian jasmine, green lemon, vanilla
Key notes: grapefruit, rosemary, moss

It’s definitely not your grandmother’s rose perfume. It’s a light, modern floral fragrance that smells just like fresh-cut roses—and your Fresh rose skincare faves.” — Glazman

With a texture like no other, the heart of the unique lychee fruit is both luscious and translucent. It gives the Sugar scent a juicy sweetness without overpowering it.” — Glazman
Key notes: Italian bergamot, yuzu, mandarin, lychee flower, orange blossom, ginger flower, oakmoss, caramel, white santal. This scent is such a hit that it’s frequently sold out. “Sugar Lemon is an uplifting fragrance that features a blend of crisp citrus notes with a hint of sweetness. It’s reminiscent of lemons sprinkled with sugar. Featuring notes of Italian lemon, lychee flower, orange blossom, white santal, and more, it really brings sweetness and tartness together. “I wanted to interpret and balance two quintessentially opposite essences: the sweetness of sugar and the tartness of lemon.” — Glazman
Key notes: bergamot, Brazilian orange, black plum, patchouli, cannabis accord, rose, chocolate, vetiver, vanilla musk. Notes of chocolate and black plum add a juiciness to this fragrance that makes it totally unique. “This is a sensual, woodsy fragrance that captures the raw energy of desire.” — Glazman
Key notes: grapefruit, lilac leaves, transparent magnolia, silk amber, warm orange, tonka flowers, sweet cucumber, sparkling moss, bergamot, vanilla grass, cypress. This crisp fragrance combines elements of earth, air, sun, and water to envelope you in the sweetness of nature. It’s pure magic and is the light, airy fragrance you’ll crave when the weather starts to warm up.
