I later discovered that it was some perfume ingredient, and I’m part of a tiny percentage that smells it as bad instead of as pleasant. I was glad my student wasn’t dying. Lots of fragrances in laundry detergent, dryer sheets, etc, smell unpleasant. There is, however, a growing number of unscented versions of high-rated detergents. For example, the Consumer Reports top-rated detergent—a form of Tide liquid, is available in an unscented version, but only at Target. I use WalMart’s Great Values store brand dryer sheets in an unscented version. I’m very pleased. I used to have a friend who worked at the company in New Jersey that develops these smells. She told me about the process. She was a team head. Oddly, she said she can’t stand those smells.

New perfume out called skunk 🦨 oil. It clears wide path.
