I find these very over powering, I don't like the smell of them!

I almost jumped up and down when I seen this in the laundry aisle! I LOVE gain products and love the smell of fresh laundry. I was so excited to try it that I didnt even care about the $8 price tag. I have to admit, I really didnt like the sent. It just smelled of very strong soap and i even gave some to my sister so she wouldnt have to spend the $8 just to try and and she said it reminded her of "old lady smell" lol! I havent purchased these again but I did get another brand (Downy) and prefer that sent way better. I guess the only thing I can say is that it is a long lasting sent so it works.....as long as you like the sent.
