I thought it was the cologne they spray at the store, but even clothes I have delivered from a distribution center also have a smell that is very discernibly NOT Tide detergent.
How?? What are they washing these clothes with to make them smell like that??
Manufacturing detritus. Machine oil. Pollution. The rancid sweat of 100 hands they’ve passed through.
That smell is an excellent reason to wash your clothes before wearing them.
Well that sucks I really do like the smell. But maybe I’m just crazy.
Not crazy, just conditioned. Buying new clothes is exciting (after you turn 15) and the smell is part of the memory.
