I’ve read my fair share of romance novels by women and it’s common to describe the main love interest as smelling like freshly clean laundry lol. Literally just show up clean with clean clothes on. It’s not more complicated than that.
This is a good source. Women talking to women without men around, which is what romance novels are in essence.
