The Scent Knows No Boundaries

The nostril-stinging tang of vinegar suggests some disinfecting power to Kevin and is fine for the bathroom, especially after it fades and leaves only a clean scent of lavender with a hint of cedar. But he finds the fragrance overpowering for the kitchen, where he prefers an olfactory blank slate that he can fill with the aromas of cooking. “My spouse, on the other hand, could not get enough of the fragrance and said he’d welcome it in every room of our home,” he says. “But he is someone who likes to use scented candles at the dinner table, which I consider criminal.” 

Laura also prefers using Diptyque in the bathroom because of the lovely lavender scent, specifically, the guest bathroom. “It would never be an everyday cleaner for me because it is too expensive,” she says. “It’s for show, status, and special occasions.”

Perry is sensitive to fragrances and falls physically ill at the whiff of many cleaners, perfumes, and scented products. The Diptyque cleaner was no exception, but on a 1-to-10 scale from pleasant to offensive, she’d rate it a 6. “I don’t get nauseous using it as long as I leave the room as it sits for 30 minutes to work. But I don’t like the smell at all, and it hangs in the back of my throat so much that I need to gargle after using it,” she says. “It smells nothing of lavender, cedar, or fig tree to me.”

If scented vinegar is something you’re after and $13 sounds like a more reasonable amount to pay, Perry recommends The Laundress Scented Vinegar, which smells more subtle and contains much fewer ingredients.
