I love fresh sheets! Who wouldn't right? Those sweet scent of fabric conditioner, and soft, smooth silky feel of it makes me wanna crawl back to bed whenever I'm changing my sheets! I've been a fan of these kinds of spray ever since I was able to have my own place. I change my sheets every 2 weeks and honestly the scent of my fabric conditioner doesn't last that long. So what's the best way to freshen up our bed, sofa and curtains in a flash? The best solution I've got is linen sprays! It's like your linen's cologne.

Sounds like a great product Ms. Genn, I'll definitely take a look at Island Basics soon, and I just love great smelling linens! ;)
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! this seems pretty interesting..Will check this out too! I would love my blanket to smell lavender just so I could me more relax...=)
I haven't tried using linen sprays since I'm allergic to strong scents, but I might give this one a shot :D
wow, it's more affordable than many linen sprays in the market.
I would love the smell of pink pomelo and ginger in my blanket.
Uh-oh! I might not be able to get out off my bed if I used these scents on my bed! hahaha!
first time to hear about this one here :) I got some linen sprays at saizen before for just P85 but they got limited scents.. I think P140 for a bottle of Island Basics is reasonable enough :)
I've never tried any linen sprays yet! XD Maybe I should really consider trying this one.. ^^
First time hearing about linen spray :)
Poor me, I don't use any linen spray, but this seems to be a great idea :)
Nice products...i think my wife would love the POMELO and GINGER one because she likes the smell of pomelo..
its sounds very promising since their natural! xx
Can this be for men's room too?
Yeah! their price is really affordable. I think I wanna try this one.
I can't imagine lying on sheets that smell like ginger. Worth a try, I guess.
i'm fine with fabric softener, but might try one of these...
i could use one of these when i move to manila for work. :)
will buy one kapag may trabaho na ako haha
It's good that it's organic. I guess it's not heavily concentrated if the scent does not last long. I remember we distill essential oils in College and the room smelled orange (because we were extracting orange essence) for days! :)
lying on a fresh sheet makes you sleep well but with asthmatic person like me .this scented sheets are not good.
Seems pretty much interesting. Going to bed with something nice and soothing to smell makes me slept a lot faster and longer. ^_^
it's quite affordable and the packaging is really nice too.
it's nice that there are different scents available :)
basta all natural product, maganda... i'll tell my wife about it. thanks. Yahweh bless.
I would like to buy! Are they exporting their products already?
smells like fresh air here :)
I checked out their multiply site as well.
Bookmarked for future reference.
Thanks for sharing... I'll be needing this
in the near future.
