One category that is especially influenced by fragrance is laundry products, according to Allison Yang, fabric care external relations manager, Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, OH.She tells Happi: "We've seen in fabric care that scent is very important to many consumers.That may mean that they are drawn to a product with no scent or a light scent for sensitive skin, or a stronger, bold scent to indulge in."
Ms. Yang also notes that some consumers also want different scents for different loads,meaning that they have several different laundry detergents and fabric softeners at hand to do the job."For example, some people may wash their everyday clothes in our Pure Essentials line, their linens in our Simple Pleasures line and their exercise clothes in our Febreze line," says Ms. Yang.
