Distinctive/Powder Laundry Detergent/Bio Washing Powder/Masculine Energising Fragrance/Eco Laundry Detergent (Pack of 1)

As I write this review, there are a list of things that they recommend I cover:1) value for money: not at all at this price level2) cleaning power: it was no better or worst than anything else I use currently including Tide liquid, arm & hammer powder format; Kirkland pods3) skin irritation: none so far4) scent: it’s Old Spice meets every other generic brand you see on tv like Degree multiplied by 2. Way too strong of an after scent. Even Snuggles the bear who markets softener would be cringing some.5) freshness: ok if you like strong scents6) eco-friendly: I can’t see that due to the synthetic perfumes and deodorizers.

It seems like this laundry detergent is marketed to guys who perhaps are intimidated by laundry or who don't know much about it, because really, do they need their own detergent? To be fair, it smells like something Old Spice would come up with. It does a fine job cleaning clothing - doesn't fade the colors or leave me with dirty clothes. The fragrance does last longer if clothing is air dried instead of tumble dried, but then I have to iron some of them. However, this is way overpriced! Maybe I'm just cynical but $33 for a smallish bag of laundry detergent seems a little bit much. That said, if a mom is having a problem getting her teenage son to do his laundry, maybe some fancy "manly" detergent with a suave man on the package will entice them to finally do their laundry.

I really like the scent profile mentioned on this listing and was tickled by the idea of masculine laundry powder, so I figured I'd give this a try, as somehow it seemed more ... natural than the commercial liquid I always use. I opened the package and the scent was already so strong on my fingers that I had to wash them several times to get it off--and this was without even touching the product. I was amazed! And I also can't imagine using this to wash my clothes in case they end up smelling that strong, I don't know if I can take the risk. I've rarely encountered a product that so strongly assailed my nostrils in this way, so I wanted to give the heads up in a review that this isn't a normal gently scented product. I'll update the review if I can bring myself to unseal this perfume grenade and put some in my washer to see how it performs.

This has a very strong and powerful scent. It is a great scent but the size of this is not a great value.

My son works at a deli. He often gets oil on his shirt.The above picture is AFTER washing with this detergent.I of course had to re wash pre treating with dawn and then washing with tide. Then it came out fine.The best thing I can say is the smell is nice, masculine for sure, but okay.
