Bounce Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets, Pure Sport, 105 Count

Love scent!

Love these dryer sheets

I want to cry because I cant find these any more. I HATE fake flower smell and fresh linen also smells gross. I dont care if it says its for men. Its the best dryer sheet out there. You can keep your funeral fake flower dryer sheets.

Yeah, if you can name the commercial, youre probably at least as old as I am. (Irish Spring.) And back then, it was cute to have a girl in the commercial winking-ly hinting that shes going to use the he-man product. Today, maybe not so much, but then women do continue to go after things (initially) marketed to guys, whether its menswear-style shirts and boy shorts or traditionally masculine fragrances. My favorite current perfume, from Tokyo Milk, has woodsy and tobacco notes. Neither I nor my husband (who has to live with me) like cloying, strong floral scents. This Bounce Pure Sport Dryer sheet has, guess what, woodsy and - I think its tobacco flower (but maybe some other subtle floral) and smoky notes. It doesnt smell to high heaven of perfume or laundry soap. Its also subtle enough to just leave a bit of scent on freshly dried laundry. Thats a real change (THANK YOU!) from what Im used to, but also a nice alternative to scent free products that, although best for severe allergy sufferers, leave laundry too often smelling more not dirty than actually clean. But Im still chuckling over the ad copy here. Like washing (my) clothes at Teddy Roosevelts hunting lodge? Somebodys been watching too many of those Old Spice commercials. No feminist rant here. My outlook on gender roles too often mirrors Delta Burkes old line from Designing Women: The man should have to kill the bug! But cmon, P&G, Woodland Retreat Bounce or some such would get my attention a lot faster than something I might assume smells aggressively of mens cologne. In any case, I see this currently out of stock on Amazon and think I may have to scout some stores, just in case this turns out to be a limited edition. Beats the heckoutta the usual scents.

MMMM smells so good

Love the smell of these

I have no doubt that this product -- lint sheets *for men* -- came out of market research that showed men who do the laundry dont use lint sheets, and that the way to get them to use them is to make lint sheets appear masculine. I dont know what pure sport is supposed to smell like, but these have a flowery, if not a tad purfume-like smell. But thats not a bad thing. I find that the smell is quite pleasant, and does not smell artificial or poignant like so many laundry products. It leaves a nice, subtle fresh smell on my clothes. I received this as a free sample, but I would definitely buy it.

In terms of working like a fabric softener sheet, these work pretty much like Bounces other scents. No problems there. What I didnt much care for is the scent. I find all of the laundry products on the shelf today smell, well, feminine to me. I wanted something a little more masculine. These are better, but not by much. The scent isnt as pronounced (which may be part of it), but Id qualify it as less feminine smelling but definitely not masculine smelling. I will use all of them - theyre not terrible. I may or may not purchase again, depending upon what I find from other products.

Love the scent and the value for the money

Trying to find a fabric softener with a ‘manly’ smell. This was advertised as ‘pure sport’ manly smelling softener sheets. When I got it, it was even more ‘flowery’ smelling than the current fabric softener sheets I use now. So I immediately returned it. I know Bounce fabric softener sheets are terrific for softening and anti-static your clothes. They just don’t do ‘manly’ smells very well. Either that or we have very different ideas of what is a ‘manly’ smell.
