These came out of the package smelling like a smell I won’t describe for the sake of your overall health and prosperity - but came right out of the wash sans malodor. 
These do not feel sateen to me, but they are comfortable. I really like how the fitted sheet is made- it grabs onto the mattress like it’s life depends on it which it does, bc I’d throw it out otherwise. Color looks true to image (blush) and held up well for its initial wash and dry. Good purchase!
