they smell, but they work
The reviews weren't kidding when they said these smell a like lavender, even after washing. I have a really bad sense of smell and I can still smell it. For me it's not very strong, but my mom said that the smell was strong for her. That being said, they definitely do their job. Also, make sure you follow the washing instructions. I'm an idiot and forgot that they were supposed to be handwashed so now one of my pairs is stuck together (I'm guessing from the heat of the dryer). I handwashed my other pairs and don't have that problem though, so I know it was my fault.
