How to make laundry for sensitive skin smell nice?

I have very sensitive skin and have never used laundry softener. I use non bio persil, my laundry doesn't really smell of anything. Is there any softener for sensitive skin or anything else I can add to make it smell nice?

I had the same thing and then I started throwing in a bit of Eucalyptus oil....it definitely adds a nice smell and it's also antibacterial so if some clothes are a bit smelly, it is more likely to kill the bacteria responsible for that. I chuck about a tablespoon into a full wash.

That's a good idea, I'll try that. It doesn't irritate your skin?

I hang it outside to get the fresh smell I love.

Tea tree oil, a few drops in every wash. Adds a lovely mild scent and is also great at keeping mould and mildew out of the machine

I hang mine out when I can too, but at the moment it's not always possible.

Not teatree!! It reminds me of nits 😫

DS has really sensitive skin. He's ok with the blue lenor which smells great.
