The scent is fresh but gentle. You only need a small amount as ut goes a long way so will last for ages! I love the minimal look to the bottle.I use it for washing the silk scarves for my etsy shop after painting so didn't want anything that smelt too perfumed which this doesn't at all. Its so delicate on the material and doesn't leave a residue as you can see in the photo, ir leaves the silk soft and light. I will be a life long customer!Thank youHannah of CeliaSilksBoutique
