We like our clothing to have a pleasant scent, but we don't use the normal scented laundry detergent (or fabric softener). We also dry our clothes outside, so we don't use dryer sheets of any sort. But we do buy bath soap that is scented!
So, when we buy bath soap, I put the (wrapped) bars in various dresser drawers or anywhere that is child-safe where we want a good smell!
Then whenever we need a bar, I rummage around and get one to use in the shower. When I get low, I buy a new supply, and store them in the dressers again. :D I usually get a different kind each time I buy a package, because I like variety :D.
