I want to find a new perfume but I HATE going to the mall. I want something very clean and fresh smelling... something a little fruity is good but not too floral. I hate the smell of musk, so nothing musky. Can anyone offer any suggestions??

It's hard to recommend perfume because each woman is different. A perfume or cologne that smells great on one woman can smell terrible on the next. If you can, find a specialty perfume shop and have them do a perfume analysis on you. They'll be able to determine your skin type and they'll steer you toward perfumes that are good for you. The only perfume I know of that is supposed to be good on any woman (regardless of skin type) is Chanel No. 5.

From your discription I think you would like Clean by DLish. Its a clean (lol) fresh, just showered scent. Its slightly fruity, not too floral, its a little lemony, sugary, soapy, not at all musky. Its not really strong or offensive, just a really nice, CLEAN scent.
I have been buying, collecting scents, essential oils, perfumes, colognes for many years, i'm a little obsessed :o\ but anyways I know quite a bit about different fragrances & in my opinion, by your discription of the scent youre looking for, I dont think you would like some of the scents that I see people have suggested for you...for example Dior's Poison, which I do like, does not smell like grapes as previous posted, it is a very strong potent scent of coriander, wildberries, orange honey, tuberose, myrrh, amber, musk. Honestly it smells almost exactly like Glade Country Gardens airfreshener. I think a Dior scent you would like is Eau de Dolce Vita. The original Dolce Vita is nice too, but its way heavier and not as fresh smelling as the Eau version.
I do think you might like Isabella Rossellini's Manifesto, or My Manifesto as its called now. Its no longer marketed in the USA, so its not easy to find. You can get it online, eBay. It smells VERY green, and has A LOT of basil in it. The juice is actually green colored. Smells very herby.
You also might like Elizabeth Arden's Green tea, or Sunflowers, theres no musk in those, but the latter might be too floral though :o\
Original Liz Claiborne in the triangle bottles is very fresh smelling, it is floral though, but not extremely so.
If you like the scent of fabric softener buy Demeter's Laundromat, it smells like a VERY clean fresh fabric softener. Demeter also makes hundreds of different "singular" scents to choose from, and theyre not very expensive. You would probably like their Sugar Cane, its really light & clean, reminds me of a fresh sweet green leaf. Their Grass is awesome, smells EXACTLY like fresh cut grass.
Theres so many scents to choose from, and its not going to be easy to do without going to stores and smelling around first. Good luck!
P.S.

I know you don't want to go to the mall but that's where all the best perfumes are. Have a friend go and bring you back some samples. Then if you like one give her a hint, that maybe that would be a good Christmas present for you. There you go it's free and you didn't have to go to the mall for it!

I am a sucker for Ralph Lauren's Romance. I wore it on my wedding day because it has a very elegant and beautiful smell. It is not over powering but when you lean in for a kiss or a hug...you can smell it. I had guests from the wedding calling me asking what perfume I was wearing because they loved it! Highly recommended!!!
