Easy to portion control

has a lasting scent

Extra Details:

I'm so tired of using Tide/Gain pods or generic grocery store laundry detergent. The strong lingering typical Tide smell is not what I call clean laundry. I've tried fragrance-free versions, but my laundry doesn't "feel" clean, you know what I mean? I don't do a ton of laundry, so I won't lose sleep over spending more $$ on a perfumed-scented detergent. I intend to use the premium detergent for nicer clothes and bedding. And what other laundry hacks or tips do you have for heavenly-smelling, clean laundry?

Attirecare’s laundry detergent is such an underrated gem if you’re looking for something that smells fresh and luxurious without being overpowering. The scent is this perfect mix of bergamot, eucalyptus, and lavender—super clean, slightly herbal, and not too "perfumey." It leaves clothes feeling soft, fresh, and actually clean (not just masked in fragrance). 

It’s eco-friendly and plant-based, so no weird chemicals or residue. Definitely worth the splurge if you want to upgrade your laundry game, especially for nicer clothes and bedding.

I totally get it—there’s a fine line between fresh and too much when it comes to laundry scents. Since you’re open to splurging on a premium detergent for your nicer clothes and bedding, here are a few that elevate the experience without the overpowering Tide/Gain effect:

1. Kerzon "Méga Propre" Laundry Soap – If you want that true clean laundry scent, this Parisian detergent is perfect. It’s a mix of orange blossom and musk—light, airy, and not at all overwhelming. Bonus: It’s formulated for sensitive skin and works well on bedding.

2. Freys "Cedarwood, Oakmoss & Amber" Detergent – A sophisticated, unisex scent that makes clothes smell subtly woodsy and fresh without being perfume-y. The formula is biodegradable, and it’s great for natural fibers like cotton and linen.

3. L’Avant Collective High-Performance Laundry Detergent – A luxe, plant-based option with a crisp, fresh linen scent that smells refined and clean rather than artificial. It’s designed to work on delicate fabrics while still giving that just-washed feeling.
