Nobody wants to smell of Persil or Ariel, especially when they like fine frangrances. This new washing powder combines the cleaning power of your favourite brand with ten of the most popular french fragrances from Chanel, YSL and Gucci. Simply select the washing powder frangrance that matches your regular choice of perfume and every time you open your wardrobe doors, you will be greeted with a wonderful aroma What's more, it's long a lasting frangrance, so even if your perfume has worn off at the end of the day, your clothes will smell beautiful.

       Does that mean my wife and I will have to wash our clothes separately?

       Personally, I use fragrance-free detergent instead.

       Another disadvantage is that you can't limit fragrance to "strategic" locations. I don't particularly need or want my socks to smell like cologne.

       I don't like smells at all. The best smell is no smell, or something perhaps a bit eggy. Certainly, Gucci might make fine bread, but why would I want my vests ponging of baguettes?   

       Apart from this, I like.

       Wouldn't it be cheaper just to sprinkle a bit of perfume on your clothes instead of washing them? Isn't that what people did in the old days, before washing machines? In fact, isn't that how perfume was invented---and why, today, we see perfume advertised by models wearing little or no clothing (to indicate that they have minimal, if any, dirty-clothing smell about them)?
