Is this a serious question? Seriously?

Toss a $20 bill in the dryer instead of dryer sheets. Your clothes will smell like money. Great!

I’m doing laundry now dryer on went outside can’t smell my Bounce Dryer Sheets.
But I did smell a gas golf cart driving by.
I live in a PV and can smell my neighbor’s, too, which doesn’t bother me — hers is pleasant and not overpowering. The way PVs are built/vented, the vent is directly across from the sliding glass door on the side of the patio. It’s unavoidable.

Our annoying fragrance smell is from the rental next door. The rental company used to do all their laundry at that rental. So we would have that smell all day long. I'll bet the owners of the rental don't know they have a big electric and water bill for some unknown reason!

Good point. Maybe your next door rental owners complained to the rental company & now they have moved to the property next to the OP for their laundry needs.

It would be an additional cost but you might suggest running the vent pipe up the wall (assuming it just comes directly out the wall now from the dryer) and up to the roof line to move the smell up and away? It might also help move the noise up to be less noticeable. Just a thought and possibly a shared cost with the neighbor since it’s not necessarily going away with the next owner or the one after that so kinda your investment to?

These might be noisy, so see if you can test one in the store before you buy.
sounds like a good suggestion

Wow, does that mean if you keep the slider open, the smell will come into your house?

Newer homes are vented differently.

Have you already talked with your neighbor? If not approach them kindly and let them know that you have allergies to the dryer sheets they are using. Maybe they would consider changing to a different brand? Or, possibly dryer balls? Dryer balls are less toxic, save on drying time, are gentler to the earth (and in this instance more neighborly.) Good luck, I hope your neighbor is willing to work with you.
