If there’s one thing I will never understand, it’s the fact that my parents use scent-less laundry detergent. Growing up, it felt like a treat to do laundry at my grandma’s house, where she used products that smelled amazing—making me excited to wear my clean clothes. So, as an adult, it only makes sense that I’m constantly on the hunt for the best-smelling laundry detergent. Maybe it’s the fact that I grew up with clothes that smelled like the dryer itself, or perhaps I’m just a sucker for smelling amazing. Either way, I’ve decided to dub laundry detergents the new perfume. So, let’s go find your new ~signature scent.~

Best Smelling Laundry Detergents at a Glance

Doing laundry—especially if you have to pay for it and don’t have machines in your actual home—might not be your favorite activity. Sure, you love to be cuddled up in clean sheets or slip on a t-shirt that’s fresh out of the dryer, but the actual act of doing laundry always feels tedious. When your laundry detergent smells like your favorite candle or brings back memories of your childhood summers, though, it’s hard to resist slipping into the laundry room for a quick hit.

In fact, you might even find yourself doing your roommate’s or family’s laundry with one of the best-smelling laundry detergents below. Laugh now, but once you get a whiff of these scents, you’ll probably be forever changed.

From a cult-favorite scent to the forever-popular Le Sabo Santal 33 scent, the seven laundry detergents below might just change your mind about laundry forever. Imagine a world where we all smell amazing all the time and enjoy washing our clothes. It’s all possible with these laundry detergents. Don’t @ me until you sniff them.

Dedcool

DedCool Scented Liquid Laundry Dedtergent

If we had to pick the chicest laundry detergent out there, DedCool’s “dedtergent” would be the number one pick. The 100 percent biodegradable, environmentally-friendly detergent offers 60 washes per tub, and can be used in the machine or for hand washing your clothing, intimates, bedding, you name it. Best of all, selecting your chosen scent is a little like picking out a new perfume; have your choice from a few different note blends, including amber, bergamot and white musk and incense, moss and bergamot.

Glamorous Wash

Tyler Glamorous Wash in Diva

Diva is by far the most sought after Glamorous Wash scent—it has a fruity and rich floral aroma. People buy this liquid detergent in droves, and after reading reviews that claim despite the higher price, it’s “totally worth it for the scent and quality,” we knew this option had to make the list.

Mozi

Mozi Wash in Sugardew

Mozi Wash may be another higher priced detergent on our list, but its ultra-concentrated formula means you only need to use a little each time. It comes in a few different scents, from Cozy Cashmere to Sugardew, the latter of which smells like tropical Fruits, hibiscus, and citrus.

The Laundress

The Laundress No. 723 Laundry Detergent

The Laundress is known for having some of the best scented laundry detergents out there, and the No. 723 is one of the most popular offerings.

If being engulfed in notes of Damask rose, geranium, and amber​ sounds appealing, add it to your cart ASAP.
