The packaging for the [laundry-inspired fragrance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/his-white-tshirt) is designed to look just like the Ecobubble machine. The bespoke perfume is shared for free with customers who purchase a machine from Samsung KX in Coal Drops Yard, King's Cross, but some will also be given away to fans on social media. To promote the unisex fragrance and the new washing machine, Samsung also worked with gymnast Max Whitlock. Samsung was inspired to create this fragrance after a survey revealed that the scent of fresh laundry is among adults' favorite smells, followed by clean bedsheets, [cakes baking in the oven](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eau-de-croissant), seaside air and freshly cut grass.
