Re: good smelling washing powder
I add Hai Karate for that authentic 1980s smell.

Re: good smelling washing powder
Ive made it my mission to find a nice washing powder and fab conditioner. I am currently using Aldi Anco soft ultra Jasmine & Ylang Ylang $2.29 for 500ml. By far the smelliest I have used. I use Cold Power too and always line dry.
Jen - When we unpacked our bedlinen/towels etc after 3 months of being cooped up in the container the 1st thing I noticed too was the gorgeous smell, hmmm

I brought back 2 bottles of persil ( purple and white bottle ) the scent is wonderful, I ration it out
first on my sheets now on my smalls as there is very little left
I was actually thinking of paying 2 grand to fly to UK just to buy products I love

Re: good smelling washing powder
I started out with Omo Sensitive (but found the powder seemed to get clumped up in the drawer for some reason). I use Purity Sensitive liquid and a bit of napisan in each wash. I really notice the nicer Purity smell when I hang the washing out. I love Australian weather - almost every day is great for line dried clothes (and the sun does wonders for bleaching out toddler food stains)

Re: good smelling washing powder
I am working my way thru a huge tub of Omo which has no smell whatsoever. When it is finished I thought I may try a Costco one which I am hoping my have atleast some scent. Any experiences?

Re: good smelling washing powder
The new BioZet smells really nice, cleans well and is good for sensitive skins. One of the British shops here sells Lenor, so I use a small amount for clothes and they smell great.

I've tried most of them, and the nicest smell I've found is Lavender Spree - and it is actually REALLY cheap compared to the others!! I also use some Fluffy!!

Re: good smelling washing powder
None - they are all shite 
The water is also rubbish, so the combination of both is a disaster really
I miss Bold as well - and the lovely fresh air smell you got in your clothes back home. Not sure about anywhere else, but here in QLD clothes smell damp if left out too long, and they can't be left in the machine for any lengh of time either after washing. Try using the Aldi softner Anco soft iron easy (2 litre bottle) - the white one seems to be better than the purple
ALso, add the pink Vanish stain remover to every wash.
