Gain Scent Booster

Who doesn't want their laundry to smell amazing?  Especially when you have extremely smelly clothes after a 12 hour day in extreme heat, like my husband.  I found a detergent, but I decided that our clothes (especially his) needed an extra boost in the "smelling amazing" department.
Enter, Gain Scent Booster.  It smells A-MA-ZING in the bottle, at the store when you squeeze the aroma up your nose.  I was sold then and there because if it smells that awesome then, then it MUST smell even better after my laundry's done!
It's true that the smell lasts a while.  I couldn't have washed our clothes enough, to get that smell out of them.  And I'm talking about the smell of the Gain Scent Booster.  The moment I opened the washer I could smell it, and it didn't smell good at all.
So I threw the laundry in the dryer thinking that maybe it will smell better after the clothes are dry.  Nope.  I even tried it again on towels.  They smelled worse.  I hated drying off after my shower for the longest time because that smell just stuck around on them.
I don't even know how to describe it.  Like a cross between dryer-than-a-human-desires wine and flowers that make you sneeze every time you get within a few feet of them with a touch of fruit.  I ended up throwing the rest out.  I'm not one to beg for my money back when I'm one that willingly purchased it knowing full well that I may not like it.
But really, these are my reviews.  You might like it because everyone has different tastes.
Pros
- Smells good IN the container
- Pretty container.
- Smell sticks around (if you like it)
- Dissolves well
Cons
- Does not smell good after laundry is done.
- Smell sticks around too long if you don't like it.
