Quick answer

Not a Detergent is a concentrated laundry fragrance from Juliette Has a Gun that adds the brand's signature clean scent to your clothes. Use it alongside your regular detergent for up to 25 washes per bottle.

Why use a laundry fragrance instead of scented detergent?

Scented detergents often mask odors with synthetic perfumes that can clash with your personal fragrance. Not a Detergent is designed to work with your existing detergent, adding the clean, unique scent of Not a Perfume without overpowering it. The concentrated formula means a small bottle goes a long way—up to 25 washes—and it's compact enough for travel or small laundry spaces.

How to use Not a Detergent

  1. Step 1: Add to the fabric softener compartment: Pour the recommended amount of Not a Detergent into the fabric softener dispenser of your washing machine. Do not pour it directly onto dry clothes or into the detergent drawer—this ensures even distribution and prevents staining. Check your machine's manual if you're unsure which compartment is for fabric softener.
  2. Step 2: Use the correct dosage: For a standard load, use about one capful (roughly 15 ml). Adjust based on load size and your desired scent intensity. The bottle contains enough for up to 25 washes, so a little goes a long way. Start with less if you prefer a subtle scent; you can always add more next time.
  3. Step 3: Wash as usual: Run your regular wash cycle with your usual detergent. Not a Detergent works alongside any detergent—it is not a replacement. The fragrance will infuse into the fabric during the rinse cycle. Do not use extra rinse cycles, as they can wash away the fragrance.
  4. Step 4: Dry and enjoy: Dry your clothes as you normally would. The scent will remain on the fabric, so you can layer it with your favorite Juliette Has a Gun perfume for a cohesive fragrance experience. For best results, avoid using heavily scented dryer sheets that could mask the unique scent.
