The name Eucalan is the combination of eucalyptus and lanolin, the two main components of the original product. I must admit that eucalyptus is not my favourite scent, so I don't use this particular one, but my mother-in-law raves about it and loves it as much as my all-time favourites; jasmine and lavender. For those who prefer fragrance with a fruit note, I suggest you try the Eucalan grapefruit. There is, of course, the unscented version of the detergent, so you will be spoiled for choice.
