What Are Laundry Perfumes and Scent Boosters and How Do They Work?
Laundry perfumes and scent boosters are concentrated fragrance beads designed to dissolve during the wash cycle, infusing your clothes with long-lasting scents. Unlike fabric softeners, which primarily soften fabrics, scent boosters focus on enhancing freshness and keeping your laundry smelling great for days.
Care+Protect’s scent boosters, such as those in their Laundry Scent Boosters collection, are formulated with high-quality fragrances that provide a burst of freshness with every wash. They are compatible with all types of washing machines and are safe to use with most fabrics, making them a versatile addition to your laundry routine.
Are Laundry Perfumes Better Than Fabric Softeners?
While fabric softeners focus on improving the texture of your laundry, laundry perfumes and scent boosters are designed for fragrance longevity. Care+Protect’s scent boosters provide a stronger, more enduring scent compared to fabric softeners. For an enhanced laundry experience, you can use them together to enjoy both softness and freshness.
Do Laundry Perfumes Wash Your Clothes?
Laundry perfumes are not detergents and do not clean clothes. Instead, they complement your detergent by adding long-lasting fragrance. For a complete clean and fresh-smelling result, use Care+Protect laundry perfumes and scent boosters alongside your preferred detergent.
For the wash itself, our ECO+ laundry detergent is hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested and effective even at 30°C.

Key Benefits of Laundry Perfumes
- Long-lasting fragrance for clothes, towels, and bedding.
- Compatible with all fabric types.
- Easy to use—simply add to your washing machine’s detergent drawer or fabric softener compartment.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Care+Protect’s Fragrance Range
- Measure Correctly: Always use the recommended amount of scent boosters or laundry perfumes. Overloading your washing machine can dilute the fragrance effect.
- Combine Products: Pair scent boosters with laundry perfumes for an enhanced fragrance that lasts longer.
- Store Products Properly: Keep your scent boosters and laundry perfumes in a cool, dry place to maintain their effectiveness.
Which laundry products give long-lasting fragrance?
Laundry perfumes last longest. Their fragrance is 100% concentrated perfume that bonds to the fibres and is not water-soluble, so it does not wash away. It is reactivated each time the fabric meets moisture and keeps clothes fragrant for up to 5 weeks, even after tumble drying.
Which products add extra fragrance to fabrics?
Any of our laundry perfumes add fragrance on top of your usual detergent, and they suit all types of fabrics and washing programmes. Choose by scent: Blue Wash is floral and woody, Fiori Di Talco pairs sweet orange with talc, and Clean Wash adds a hygienising action with notes of rose, magnolia and green apple.
Which products release fragrance gradually during washing?
Laundry perfumes are absorbed by the fibres during the wash and then release their fragrance slowly, so the scent stays with you as you wear your clothes. Using a tumble dryer helps activate the fragrance so it becomes more noticeable.
Which products give comfort and fragrance together?
Pair a fabric softener with a laundry perfume for softness and scent, or use Wool Dryer Balls in the tumble dryer. Made from 100% natural wool, they help soften clothes, and adding laundry perfume to the balls boosts the fresh scent.
