Do you like the smell of fresh laundry?

And, yes, it is a class issue. Heavy, cheap smells are like sugar and salt. Used in large quantities by some.

This is so ridiculous. I'm the pp who loves the smell of those gain balls that you add to the washer. SAHM. Two kids in private school. $1m home.

Speaking of smells, DS mentioned the other day that he notices how other kids and homes smell. Some are stronger, some he barely notices. Some are gross but he doesn't say anything so not to hurt a friend's feelings. He also mentioned that he hates the smell of our sitter's car. She's not American so I'm assuming it's just that he's not used to it.

We have come full circle. What were once signs of wealth accompanied by presumed class is now low class.

I love it! I love the smell of many Latino men's fresh laundry. I wish I knew what combo of stuff they use.

In DCUMland, the only way to prove you really have money is to live as if you don't.

There's a perfume you can get at Sephora that smells like fresh laundry.

I love how my house smells when I'm doing a white wash. Bleach, detergent and softener!

Sounds like you have an itch to scratch.

No. Am allergic to it.

I agree that it is classless to be repelled by the smell of clean laundry on children.

Odd example, given than sugar and salt are used in the largest quantities by professional chefs.

In any case, I love the smell of sunshine-dried laundry fresh off the line. Sadly, we live in an apartment now and don't have a clothes line, so no warm, sweet-smelling towels for us. We use the free & clear detergents to prevent skin irritation, so my clean clothes just smell like clothes, and it's not that great. I do love the drying running, though. Such a soothing sound--it totally lulls me to sleep.

I love it when I'm running by a house or apartment building and you can smell the laundry being done - it's just such a fresh smell. I'm also totally into the smell of freshly-cut grass, and I even like the smell of gas when you're at the gas station.

I hate most perfumes, though, because a lot of people wear too much and I have mild chemical sensitivities.

From what I've seen in Latino grocery stores, I'm guessing it's something with lavender. Lavender is an old-school, clean, fresh smell that goes well with the smell of clean fabric. I love it on bed linens, especially.

I don't like my clothes to smell like either. I use unscented everything.

I hate the fake smell of laundry detergents and fabric softeners because they give me a headache. I do not associate it with class.
