Clean, soapy and softly powdery with an airy, sparkling top and a warm musk base. It's the smell of fabric softener and just-made beds.
No special cautions at normal use; follow your supplier's usage limits.

A little lore
Researchers have found that the smell of line-dried laundry comes partly from aldehydes and ketones formed when sunlight hits the damp fabric.
