Dry Spell

Essencia Dryer Bags

Laundry detergents really shouldn’t come in strong scents like “mountain spring” or “wildflower medley.”

Because no one wants to smell like a lumberjack or a hippie. (Not even like clean ones.)

Here are Essencia dryer bags to leave your clothes smelling delightfully clean and natural. Just pop one in with your load. The heat will cause the release of flower fragrances, which subtly transfer themselves onto your clothes. Unlike dryer sheets, which are only good for one run, the Essencia bags can be reused up to three times. The tea-bag-like sachets come filled with either chamomile or lavender and essential oils.

Okay, so you might end up smelling like a cup of tea.

It’s still better than eau de Tide.
