New arrivals in laundry perfumes: How to choose the best scent for your home

The latest laundry perfumes by Essentia Nature come in three lines: the classic line with ten proven scents, the luxury line with four richer compositions, and the INTENSE line with a stronger fragrance concentration. All are based on microencapsulation, so the scent stays on your laundry for weeks, and they are available in sizes from 20 to 500 ml.

Why choose a laundry perfume?

A laundry perfume is a highly concentrated fragrance added to the wash so that clothes and fabrics smell fresh long after washing. The fragrance microcapsules bind to the fibres and release scent with movement and warmth, so the fragrance lasts for weeks in the wardrobe. The perfumes are dermatologically tested: a PATCH test was carried out in an independent laboratory on 140 volunteers with sensitive skin, and the formulas contain no toxic substances. Unlike fabric softener, they leave no stains or residue and do not affect towel absorbency.

Which laundry perfume lines are there?

The range is divided into three lines: classic, luxury and INTENSE. The classic line covers everyday, proven scents for the whole family, the luxury line brings richer fragrance compositions with an exotic touch, and the INTENSE line takes the same way of use further with a stronger fragrance concentration for a more intense, longer-lasting scent. All three lines are used in the same way and work at all washing temperatures.

What defines the classic line?

The classic line includes ten scents: COTTON FLOWERS, WHITE MUSK, JASMINE, VANILLA AND CASHMERE, LAVENDER, TALC, FERN, LOTUS FLOWER, ARGAN and CITRUS AND ORANGE BLOSSOM. Among the trends, citrus, floral notes and sweet, warm fragrances stand out: CITRUS AND ORANGE BLOSSOM laundry perfume brings freshness with a touch of orange, while VANILLA AND CASHMERE laundry perfume creates a pleasant feeling of homeliness. Prices: 20 ml for 1.80 €, 50 ml for 6.50 €, 250 ml for 14.50 € and 500 ml for 21.50 €.

What does the luxury line bring?

The luxury line consists of four scents: ANGEL BREATH, BALI, CARIBE and OCEAN. ANGEL BREATH luxury laundry perfume charms with delicate floral notes, while the other three bring a touch of exotic destinations and the sea into your wash. The line is available in 20 ml for 2.50 €, 250 ml for 16.50 € and 500 ml for 23.50 €, which is only two euros above the classic line for the larger sizes.

What is special about the INTENSE line?

The INTENSE line has a stronger fragrance concentration, so the scent is more intense and longer lasting. It includes ten scents: BLUE PETALS, ELIXIR OF YLANG, FIT ENERGY, GOLDEN ZIRCON, LILAC ESSENCE, ORIENTAL PEARLS, SEA WATER, SILK & BAMBOO, SOFT LAUNDRY and WHITE FLOWERS. The pleasant surprise is that the prices match the classic line, from 1.80 € for 20 ml to 21.50 € for 500 ml, making INTENSE an excellent choice when you want a more pronounced scent at no extra cost.

How do you choose the right line and scent?

Choosing a scent is a personal decision. If you love fresh scents, start with citrus or ocean notes, while fans of warm, sweet fragrances should reach for vanilla and cashmere. Consider the season too: fresh, light scents suit summer, warm and rich ones suit winter. For a first purchase, it makes sense to pick the 20 ml size and try the scent over a few washes. The best-selling laundry perfumes offer inspiration, and the fragrance quiz can also help you decide.

The lines at a glance

The table below sums up the key differences between the lines so you can find yours more easily.

How do you use a laundry perfume correctly?

Add 5 to 10 ml of laundry perfume to the wash, roughly half a cap, into the fabric softener drawer or during the final rinse so the scent absorbs into the fabrics optimally. It works at all temperatures and in all washing machines, and is also suitable for hand washing. It contains no solid particles and leaves no stains or residue. You can combine it with fabric softener; in that case choose a neutral softener or a mildly scented one so it does not mask the perfume. Perfumes such as CITRUS AND ORANGE BLOSSOM are designed to spread evenly across the fabrics and ensure a long-lasting scent.
