Scent in the wardrobe without it settling into your clothes

Short answer: A dry wardrobe does not smell. If you want scent, keep it away from the fabric, or the oil binds into the fibres and leaves a mark.

A dry wardrobe matters most

Most bad smells in wardrobes come from damp, not from a lack of scent. See bamboo clothing for women.

Oil leaves marks on fabric

Fragrance oil in direct contact with fabric leaves a greasy mark. See bamboo t-shirts for women.

Keep the scent on the shelf, not in the pile

A sachet on the shelf scents the air without touching the clothes. See bamboo underwear for women.

Washing before storing solves the most

Clean clothes do not smell. Sweat in the fibres does, whatever you put in the wardrobe. See bamboo socks for women.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the wardrobe smell?

Usually from damp or from clothes put away unwashed. Scent covers it but does not solve it.

Can scented sachets damage clothes?

Yes, if they touch the fabric. Fragrance oil binds into the fibres and can leave a greasy mark.

What works best?

A dry wardrobe, clean clothes and air between items. Scent is an accessory, not the solution.
