......don't bother with Lenor Unstoppables....

Just our of curiosity, I bought bottle of Fresh scented Lenor Unstoppables in wash scent booster. £5 from Tesco. Not very MSE. :o

I needed to wash a bath mat and a matching towel and used the smallest amount in the wash.

The scent is mindblowingly strong. If I stick my face into the towel and take a deep sniff, the smell is so strong I can taste it.

The smell is so strong, I can smell these two items around the house. My house smells like a launderette!! :eek:
:huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    Quite the opposite of ALDI washing powders and fabric softeners then. I love Aldi and love a lot of their products, but there scented washing powders and detergents just smell stale.

    I think I'd prefer your overpowering Lenor ones.

    Are you sure you sniffed your towel before using it?

    One smell I found particularly offensive was a cucumber fragrance antibacterial soap in a battery powered dispenser. Ihad to wash my hands several tiimes in other soap to get shot of the pong and I normally have problems smelling anything due to pretty much permanent rhinitis

    Yes, 100%.

    My bum and towel smells of roses.

    I envy your obvious flexibility in being able to check that but do wonder how you might be fertilising your roses.

    I only use half the dosage and the lower the wash temperature the stronger the smell...30 degrees is overpowering but 40 is ok.
