以香汤沐发 Washed in something fragrant

浴兰汤兮沐芳，华采衣兮若英

Bathed in water boiled with orchids, hair washed in the fragrance; dressed in the colours of flowers.

楚辞 · 云中君 · our translation

This 沐 is washing the hair in water boiled with orchids: not cleaning, but taking the fragrance on. 这里的「沐」是洗发，兰汤是香草煮的水——不是洗干净，是把自己浸在香气里。

如沐春风沐浴沐雨栉风沐之沐晴沐阳沐云

In a name

In a name 沐 is not hygiene; it is being passed through something good and coming out scented.

名字里的「沐」不是清洁，是被好东西浸过一遍。
