Breakthrough Chemical Odor that Was Very Potent
I love shower steamers, and it's rare for me to find some I don't care for. Unfortunately, these shower are definitely not ones I like. Both the menthol & eucalyptus and the lavender scents have an additional scent that has a very strong chemical smell almost like some sort of industrial solvent. It totally overpowers the smell of both the menthol & eucalyptus and the lavender shower steamers. The fumes were not only unpleasant, they actually started to give me a headache each time. I don't know if I just got a bad batch of these or what, but after trying one of each scent on different days and having the same thing happen each time, I'm not about to try any more. These six shower steamers come wrapped in shiny foil, three eucalyptus (green) and three lavender (purple). They lie on a bed of lavender filler paper, and there is a mesh lavender drawstring bag with an adhesive-backed hook to hang the bag on. The cover of the box is pretty and has a printed lavender ribbon with a bow on it. Two of the sides say "Make your bathroom different!". This has all the right stuff to make a beautiful gift, but the intense, unpleasant scent of these steamers make them something I don't even want to finish using for myself, much less gift to anyone else. I"m giving them a three star for presentation and the benefit of the doubt, based on other reviews, that the box I got is the exception and not the rule.
