I wouldn't want scented clothes. My laundry detergent is perfume free, and I like it that way.
Everything I buy is unscented, come to think of it. I really really really dislike perfume-y smells.
Same here. And it's not just that I don't like the smells of chemical-based fragrances, it's also because of the extreme health hazards associated with the chemicals. Anything we put against our skin, anything we breath that contains those chemicals is a huge risk.
I'm not going to list the numerous links on the internet, they're easy enough to find.
If you think your clean laundry should smell like perfume, chances are you drank the kool aid. TV advertisements about scented products. Laundry should be clean and that's all--and those artificial perfumes are bad for the reasons noted in the posts above.
If you want perfume, dab a little tiny bit on yourself, not on your clothing.
Ditto - if you like scent, chances are you wear scent. If you wear scent, why do you want a clashing scent on your clothes? I don't get it.
I've lived in complexes with laundry rooms that vented to a corridor I walked down, and some of the laundry scents are truly puke-making.
If you want to have your whole workplace smelling like perfume and your co-workers bitching about it behind your back, go right ahead. Let us know how it turns out. LOL
Clothes shouldn't smell perfumey IMO - just CLEAN!

Most of the scents are toxic. Why would you want to be exposed to those chemicals?

More rep points than I have given out in one thread in a long time. Maybe ever. If you didn't get one, it's because I'd already repped you recently in another thread.
Oh, and I find your user name profoundly ironic, OP.
I'm thinking about just spraying my clothes (5-10 sprays) with my perfumes, after the wash and just before putting them in the dryer. Good idea?
Perfume products are treated as flammable liquids because they contain ethyl alcohol, which is a flammable substance. Flammable perfumes are marked with hazardous warnings on the labels. ... The flash point is the lowest temperature T which a substance's vapor is ignitable.
