Stop and Smell the Happiness!

December 5, 2017 By Lena

It’s a fact: nothing smells greater than the great outdoors. Some of my fondest, most happy memories are tied to scents inspired by nature: freshly cut grass, rows and rows of lavender fields, my mom’s flower garden in full bloom. Often, when I’m feeling particularly stressed or need to unwind, I reflect on those times and feel like I am there… I can smell the happiness.

As we head into winter, there’s no doubt that we’ll be spending a lot of time indoors. However, I’ve found a way to replicate the powerful scent of nature with NEW Gain Botanique! Gain’s newest detergent provides an amazingly irresistible scent experience, all in a 65% plant-based formula that is free of dyes, chlorine, phosphates and optical brighteners.
I don’t think I can choose a favourite! Inspired by scents from nature, Gain Botanique White Tea & Lavender and Orange Blossom Vanilla offer fresh, floral fragrances that will transport you to your happy place. Trust me when I say it will make laundry less of a chore! 

A few weeks ago, shoppers at the Toronto Eaton Centre were surprised with a botanical wonderland! Want to see how unexpecting shoppers reacted? Watch the video here –


I had a chance to check out the exhibit myself and of course, swing in the garden. The surroundings were infused with an amazing, nature-inspired scent experience and even though we were in the middle of a highly urbanized mall, you couldn’t help but feel the joy of the outdoors.
Confession: I’ve never been so excited to do the laundry.

Gain Botanique offers a simpler, more responsible detergent – one that I feel good about using. As much as I love the fragrances, I also love its hypoallergenic, plant-based formula which is safe to use – even on baby clothes.

Breathe in, friends… breathe out. This winter, it’s time to bring the joy of the outdoors inside. It’s time to stop and smell the happiness!
Gain Botanique is now available at retailers across Canada.

    Oh i love the smell of Gain… I never really used it until 17 years ago when I met my husband, he used it. I’ve been a huge fan ever since.

    I know I’m one of the few who doesn’t like the smell of lavender but the Orange Blossom Vanilla sounds fantastic!

    I didn’t know that Gain had a plant-based detergent. That’s great to know since it’s important to me.

    Unfortunately I cannot use these scented products. They do work well but the scent is just too strong for this household.
