After years of hearing about Tyler Candle Company’s products and saving one-too-many videos of people swearing by Glamorous Wash online, I finally gave into the hype and purchased a bottle at a boutique in my hometown. The detergent comes in 10 scents, ranging from refreshing Eucalyptus to sweet Mango Tango and fresh Limelight. I had heard the most about Diva, which the website describes as “a warm and complex fragrance overflowing with delicious fruits and rich florals.” But, after meticulously smelling each bottle, I decided Kathina was the choice for me. I love fragrant florals, and with perfume, gravitate towards anything with notes of rose, so it’s no surprise that I landed on Kathina—a scent described as “sensual lily of the valley intertwined with citrus and rose. Very dramatic and overdone!!”
At the expense of my wallet and the happiness of my heart, it was love at first wash. The detergent is dramatic and overdone, just as the label suggests, but in the best way. I now put a splash in every load of laundry and after 45 minutes in the wash, my towels, sheets, and sweaty workout clothes emerge smelling like a fresh floral garden. It is a strong scent, which I personally love, but others recommend mixing it with water or an unscented detergent for a more toned-down smell that also makes a bottle last longer. I choose to embrace the floral scent and use the detergent on its own, and while I realize this is a luxury, it somehow makes doing my laundry seem like less of a chore.

You know the saying, “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful?” Well, that’s how I feel about Glamorous Wash. This fragrant detergent is worth every penny.
