Laundry Sauce - Luxury Scented Laundry Detergent Pods & Scent Booster Bundle (French Saffron) - Natural Essential Oils, Easy-To-Use, Laundry Pods - Cruelty-Free, Paraben-Free, Dye-Free & HE Compatible

Wow! Well first off, the packaging and presentation is gorgeous and modern. Unlike you typical jug or plastic tub of pods, this looks fancy sitting on my laundry room shelf. The pods in the black box look like golden jewels of amber. And the scent even when I’m not washing clothes makes my laundry room smell so good. Ok, on to the scent. I picked Australian Sandalwood. I was unsure what to expect, but to my surprise it smells amazing! It’s a scent unlike any other. It is slightly more of a manly scent, but not overpowering and still has a bit of a clean soapy smell to it. You can definitely pick up every bit of the scent profile that is listed for Australian Sandalwood. Onto the wash. First load I did with the Laundry Sauce was some throw blankets. I used one pod, a small sprinkle of LS scent booster beads, and about 4-5 throw blankets in my top loader. As the wash began the aroma of Australian Sandalwood wafted thru the air. When the cycle was complete, I took the clothes from the wash and put in the dryer. Omg, they smelled good and looked very clean. Started up the dryer and the scent went thru my entire downstairs. And on my patio where the dryer vent is smelled amazing and I am sure that lovely smell drifted thru the neighborhood. When throw blanket were dry I took them out and you could totally smell the Laundry Sauce. So, don’t believe the other reviews when they say there is no scent left after drying or very little. They must be those that dump all kinds of scented softener and half a jar of scent needs in a normal load and end up smelling like they took a bath in it. Ever have those people at work that walk by you smelling so strongly of scent booster? Yeah, nobody needs to be smelling that strong. Well LS still leaves a powerful scent on your laundry but yet not overwhelming to where it makes you smell like you used scent boosters as a body wash. 2 weeks after washing the throw blankets that are used almost daily I can still smell the LS on them. Even washed my dogs dirty stinky blankets and they still smell clean. This scent is unlike no other and definitely smells classy and rich. Yes it’s expensive but if you want something different that works well at getting your clothes clean, this is it! I won’t use it on my everyday loads of wash, but definitely on any blankets, bedding, bath towels, and some of my nicer clothing items. I have a son soon to go off to college and I plan on buying his the pods and booster to take with him so he can smell great everyday. Even if his clothes don’t get washed very often like the typical college student. I was highly impressed by LS. I do wish they also made dryer sheets that would come with the bundle. I was worried about using my typical Bounce dryer sheet after washing a load with LS, never know if the scents might mix and smell bad,but it didn’t effect it at all. The Australian Sandalwood was the scent that stuck to it. This bundle would make a great gift for someone who likes bougie things and is hard to buy for. Definitely recommend!

The Saffron scent is the best out of the two scents I've bought. This is one of my little luxuries (I know. It's like a mom getting a vacuum for her birthday and being actually excited. Haha!). The scent I usually buy is in the black box. It smells good, but maybe I've been using it so long that the smell isn't as noticeable after a wash. I don't think it was as strong as the French Saffron even after my first wash, though. It may be the addition of the scent boosters. I don't think that's the difference either since I've used the entire set for the other scent, too. Anyway, the French Saffron scent is to die for! It's has fruity undertones without being cheap smelling. It has a complex scent I don't think I've ever smelled before, and I've smelled every perfume Sephora carries in store in thr last decade (and have quite a collection). The scent is sweet with the tonka bean and fruit profiles, but the French Saffron scent evens it out and makes it more complex. The best part? It stays on the clothes and lasts until it's thrown back in the wash. It also uses more natural ingredients and less or no harmful chemicals. The box is thick with a metal closure for the detergent pods and the scent bead has a perfectly fitted slide off top. The entire thing is luxe, and because it's luxe in every conceivable way that I could think of for such a simple, everyday product, we are not talking value for money. There's really no good reason to spend $25 plus tax on a box of dryer sheets when you can get a box of Downy with more sheets for $6. There's no good reason to spend $99 on the entire set when you can get an entire set of Tide & Downy (comparable product types) for $40 and it will last longer. That's really the point, though. It's a wasteful, luxurious little thing that makes your day a bit brighter because it smells that good throughout the day. It doesn't rise to the level of the value of an expensive perfume, but it's close! The entire set is $99. That's a lot for someone who does laundry every day because of a husband who wears a work uniform and performs a relatively dirty job when outside of the office, and an 11 year old boy who's all boy. I mitigate that risk by only using it on a load of clothes that's mostly or all mine (because I'm the only one who cares) or our bedding. I keep some Tide and Downy around for the rest. Also, unlike other name brands, this brand can be used with trust. I don't ever open my front load HE washer with suds on the door and a probable residue on my clothes that is likely the culprit of skin irritation, like with brands like Tide. I've never had such a good experience with any name brand at any store, and those are the best you can get in store! I don't have any skin irritations and my son's eczema doesn't flare up. Most likely due to the lack of chemicals and sudsing agents that are common in other brands. I recommend this if you're looking for something luxe that you don't need. You'll love it! It gets my clothes clean and smelling great until they are dirty. I've never been sent a box without a protective foam and a seal that prevents breakage and leakage during shipping. It always shows up in perfect order whether I order from Amazon or Laundry Sauce directly. It is great in every way!

I absolutely love this Laundry Sauce set in Australian Sandalwood. The scent is rich, warm, and sophisticated—not overpowering, just perfectly clean and luxurious. My clothes come out smelling amazing and the fragrance actually lasts, even after drying and storing. The pods dissolve well, work great in HE machines, and I appreciate that they’re dye-free. The scent booster is a nice touch and really elevates the whole laundry experience. Definitely feels like a high-end upgrade to everyday laundry. Worth every penny—I’ll be repurchasing!

The Pros: This is definitely the best part! Unlike regular detergent that smell “bubbles” or “lemon” this actually smells like a high end cologne or perfume. Even reminds me of the strong smells like the bath and body candles. The scent stays on clothes for days. I also appreciate that it brings the scent booster which I feel enhanced the smell to another level! Cleaning power: it does a solid job on everyday dirt and smells. My clothes feel so soft and looked brighter after washing. Convenience: the pods are super easy to use- just toss in and that’s it! The cons: The Price: it is significantly more expensive than the detergent you find at the store. It feels more like a luxury treat than a basic necessity. If you are someone who loves it when your clothes and bedding smell like a designer fragrance, Laundry sauce is most definitely worth it! If you are just looking for the cheapest way to keep your socks clean I would stick to the basic. I will definitely be using these specifically for my towels and bedding!
