Reviewers praise

- Strong, clean scent that persists through the wash cycle
- Concentrated enough that a small amount goes a long way, making each bottle last

- Some testers find the scent unpleasant rather than appealing, showing it is a matter of personal tolerance
- Manufacturer coupons and loyalty promotions are inconsistent, frustrating regular buyers

Breadth vs focus — and the right answer depends on the shelf.
