So fresh and so clean
Wow, what a beautiful clean scent! As is usually the case with me, I can't pick out individual notes; I simply admire the overall masterpiece. I don't get the laundry vibes that are often described here. Rather, it smells like laundry dried outside in the summer, fresh and clean, without being synthetic. A light fruitiness is present all the time, but subtle and not "sour." The clean, fresh, wonderfully pure scent is at the forefront, just the way I love it. Absolutely no comparison to synthetic bombs, like "The Muse | Zarkoperfume."
A brief dialogue with myself: Do you really need ANOTHER clean scent? YES! With this kind of fragrance, I just feel fabulous.
Longevity is good; it projects nicely on me. Really great for summer, I can also imagine it in temperatures over 30 degrees.

Washing, Scenting, and Feeling
There are many of us who are immediately hooked by "Oooh, that smells like freshly washed laundry!" and who would instantly reach for a fragrance called Laundrette in its modern-minimalistic bottle. But why exactly?

I was curious about the scent and wanted to think it over, so I ordered a sample. The fragrance is as clean as expected, not soapy-clean, but floral-clean, for me not really pure white, more light blue with a slight tendency towards lilac, splashes of iris and freesia, light and cool and fresh, yet with a certain melancholic depth that I attribute to the blackcurrants. It stays close to the skin and won't turn a subway ride into a Persil meadow full of flapping bed sheets in the wind, but on my skin, I can still smell it after about 7 hours and on my sweater the next day. A beautiful, fresh, pleasant scent, a spring walk on a Sunday, sitting with loved ones in a flower meadow. Almost bought it.

Back to the original question, what is so special about fresh laundry? It's actually quite ordinary and easily accessible at any time: turn on the washing machine, throw in the dirty laundry, wait an hour, fresh laundry comes out. Do I need to pay 80 € for that? No, unless the need for the fresh laundry scent goes deeper. Someone is taking care of you, it’s clean and tidy, someone means well for you. Around you, it’s clean and organized, and that’s how it smells, at least a little bit of laundry day in a Bullerbü-Idyll in this dirty and chaotic world. A small comfort patch.

And then came the memories of my visits to the laundromat. This is where we met, those of us who had no money and no space for our own washing machine. There was always something (or someone) to observe, students with hand-rolled cigarettes and laundry in huge backpacks, scolding mothers, the rattling of laundry carts on the tiles. I liked sitting there, reading, watching, a small microcosm. Or back then, when I felt as alone as I had ever felt in my life, the small-town girl interning in the anonymous big city, and an older lady in the laundromat was the first person who really wanted to talk to me, it was so human, so approachable.
And right at this point of the laundromat association, Frau Tonis' Laundrette falters for me. It lacks that very human, loud, perhaps a little bit messy quality of the laundromat that I find essential for perfection, because the straightforward freshness also feels a bit distant, stepping back from the dirty laundry, not taking you by the hand and not letting you participate in everyday life. Minimalism may be liberating, but it is also always a bit unapproachable, and that’s not me. I sometimes spill coffee on my pants. A little twist in the scent, a small stumbling block, and it would be a great love. As it stands, still: Almost bought it. I'm still thinking about it. But first, I should get my laundry from the basement.

Washing Day in the French Idyl
In a distant past, somewhere in the French mountains, there is a charming little spot on earth. The sun is shining, and the much-loved washing day is on the agenda in the village. All the ladies of the village are gathered, armed with their secret, fragrant soaps. The enchanting scent of freesias fills the air - so pure and innocent that it tickles the nose.

The atmosphere is lively as the ladies work on their clothes in the clear mountain stream, skillfully creating foam. They chat and laugh, moving the garments back and forth to chase away the dirt of everyday life. The white fabrics shine in the sunlight, radiating their complete purity.

Amidst this joyful hustle and bustle, little Charlotte, an eight-year-old girl from the village, dances across the lush meadow in her white linen dress. Her blonde curls flutter in the wind as she engages in a merry dance with the birds. The birds chirp and seem to be magically drawn to Charlotte's grace, flying around her and accompanying her in her wild dance across the meadow.

Charlotte laughs with joy and feels a deep connection to nature. The sun warms her face, and she glides over the soft grass. The flowers by the roadside seem to smile at her, and she reciprocates their affection with a radiant smile.

The ladies of the village watch Charlotte lovingly and remember their own childhood, how they once frolicked just as joyfully and carefree through the meadows. The memories of bygone days warm their hearts and bring smiles to their lips.

The washing day in the village becomes a celebration of community and happiness. The ladies sing cheerful songs as they hang up their laundry, and the sun dries the clothes in no time. The village shines in a sea of white fabrics gently swaying in the wind.

As dusk falls, the villagers return to their homes contentedly. The laundry smells wonderful and radiates flawless purity. The memories of these special washing days will forever be cherished in their hearts as moments of carefree joy and happiness.

And Charlotte, the little girl in the white linen dress, drifts off to sleep with a smile on her face as the birds outside sing her a lullaby, taking her into a world of dreams where she continues to dance with them across the meadows.
____________________________
"№ 17 Laundrette | Frau Tonis Parfum" "Washing Salon" conveys this image to me perfectly from the very first spray. Nothing can describe this scent better. Fresh laundry through and through.

It is simply clean, pure, fresh, bright, and cheerful.
A clean scent as it should be, transparent white in its purest form.
Even the longevity is good for this type of fragrance.
Freesia & musk dominate; I don't smell the jo-berry. Delicate green accents and minimal powdery iris complement it skillfully.
A scent that always works, providing a lasting "freshly showered" feeling and is simply the absolute jackpot in the heat.

The name fits the scent, the scent fits me --> I wish for it!

A Dream in White
Imagine it's summer, not yet that scorching heat that takes your breath away. Imagine you are walking through your garden early in the morning, inhaling the air that has not yet been polluted by exhaust fumes. It smells deliciously of white freesias, and a fine fragrance also rises from the blue iris flowers. Further back in your garden, black currants promise a delightful treat. Years ago, you brought back a Mediterranean cypress from a vacation in France, which has now grown tall and impressive. This strong, spicy tree scent permeates the air. Enjoying this impression, you lie down in your hammock, which you have lined with freshly washed white pillows, and deeply inhale the essence of your surroundings.
This is exactly how No. 17 "Laundrette" by Frau Tonis Parfum smells. A charmingly clear, transparent fragrance that evokes floral aromas and freshly washed white laundry. The scent is delicate and intricate yet distinct. Its longevity varies between 5-6 hours depending on skin type and then becomes intimate. "Laundrette" is my summer dream in white!

For a clean scent, it's almost too cute and sweet-creamy for me. It smells like body lotion and fabric softener.

Radiant summer in white. Bright + light. Transparent, clear, pure, yet also delicate, warm, soft + elegant. Laundry drying in the flower garden.

Oh magical! Freesia presents itself in a clean white dress and blackcurrant in her hair. A cloud of musk follows her. Wonderfully subtle.

Very pure, white scent.
Feels like sunscreen on the skin of a freshly showered woman dressed all in white.

Friendly freesia meets blackcurrant and iris with a powder puff: a lovely clean scent, until too much white musk sneaks in.

Personally, a bit too floral for me ;)

My first impression was: synthetic-fresh laundry scent like Lenor. Still, I find the fragrance incredibly fascinating. Addictive potential!

Well-groomed skin hugs freshly washed laundry.
Refreshing lightness meets warm, cozy creaminess.
The decor is white
