For a long time, we asked only one thing of clean laundry: to smell clean. That expectation is changing. Laundry fragrance is no longer just a burst of freshness as you take things out of the machine: it is becoming a personal signature, one you find again when you open the wardrobe, slip between your sheets or pull on your favourite jumper.
It is in this spirit that we are launching an entirely new range: eight laundry fragrance boosters, ready to use: simply pour them straight into your machine's fabric softener compartment. They replace neither your detergent nor your fabric softener: they intensify and prolong the fragrance of your laundry, from wash to wear.

A laundry fragrance released in two stages
What sets these boosters apart from a standard laundry fragrance comes down to one word: microencapsulation. The fragrance is not released all at once; it is diffused in two stages.
Part of the fragrance is released during the wash. The rest stays protected inside microplastic-free microcapsules, which settle on the fibres. When you wear or handle the garment, or when the fabric rubs, these microcapsules gradually burst and release the fragrance again.
The result: a scent that doesn't stop at drying, but lingers on your clothes once they are dry and worn.
Eight scents, from fresh to cocooning
Each booster has its own personality, from the freshness of laundry dried in the open air to the softness of a jumper you keep close. It's up to you to choose the one that will become your laundry's signature.
- Fresh & clean — aldehydic, fruity and floral. Crisp and bright.
- Marine freshness — fougère, floral and fruity. Invigorating and oceanic.
- Summer neroli — citrus, floral and orangey. Fresh and sunny.
- Spring garden — woody, floral and musky. Fresh and enveloping.
- Floral softness — chypre, fruity and floral. Gentle and refined.
- Milk dream — floral, woody and powdery. Soft and cocooning.
- Creamy santal — woody, spicy and floral. Creamy and velvety.
- Oriental dream — floral, rosy and musky. Rich and captivating.
You'll find them all in our laundry fragrance boosters collection.
How to use it in the washing machine
The booster is ready to use: no dilution, and no base to mix it into. Three simple steps are all it takes.
- Shake the bottle before use.
- Using a measuring cup, pour between 10 and 40 mL into the fabric softener compartment.
- Start your usual wash cycle.
It works with standard programmes, at 30°C, 40°C and up to 60°C, and is used alongside your detergent and fabric softener, never instead of them.
Dose according to the intensity you want
- 10 mL: light, subtle fragrance
- 20 mL: medium intensity
- 30 mL: pronounced fragrance
- 40 mL: maximum intensity
When it comes to drying
A tumble dryer can impair the microencapsulated fragrance. To enjoy it to the full, dry your laundry indoors in a well-ventilated room.
As a textile mist for your home fabrics
Your booster isn't just for the washing machine. It can also be used as a textile mist to refresh fabrics that rarely go in the wash: curtains, cushions, throws, household linen and soft furnishings.
Simply pour it into a suitable mist bottle, then mist your fabrics. No dilution is needed: it is ready to use.
Where to start: pair it with its matching laundry fragrance
Each booster has been designed to extend one of our laundry fragrances. Used together, the fragrance in your homemade laundry detergent and the booster in the fabric softener compartment echo each other, from wash to wear.
- Fresh & clean with Total clean
- Marine freshness with Black soap
- Summer neroli with Jasmine passion
- Spring garden with Flight of air
- Floral softness with Precious radiance
- Milk dream with Breath of freshness
- Creamy santal with Cashmere flower
- Oriental dream with Divine sweetness
The booster also works with standard shop-bought detergents: you can start using it from your very next wash, without changing a thing in your routine.
