Aromiq Hyper Scented vs. Tide - The Laundry Pod That Does More
Tide is built to clean. Aromiq Hyper Scented is built to clean and leave your whole house smelling like something worth noticing - with fabric softener and perfume-grade fragrance already in the pod.
Tide is one of the most trusted names in laundry for one reason: it cleans. That's the whole job it was designed to do. Most Tide Pods don't include fabric softener - P&G sells that separately, including through a distinct "Tide + Downy" line - and the scent is a standard detergent fragrance, not a perfume-grade one. Aromiq Hyper Scented starts where Tide stops: detergent, built-in fabric softener, and a signature fragrance with motion-release technology, all in a single pod.

Clean was never the finish line
Clean laundry is the baseline every detergent promises. Aromiq Hyper Scented treats it as the starting point, not the goal. The fragrance is formulated into the pod itself, with microcapsules that release gradually as fabric moves - so the scent is still there when you're folding, not just when the wash finishes.
Getting the Tide result - clean, soft, and scented, usually means Tide plus a bottle of Downy plus a scent booster, or switching to the Tide + Downy line and still adding a booster for fragrance that lasts. Aromiq Hyper Scented combines all three into one pod: one product to buy, not a routine to maintain.
Frequently asked
Does Tide have fabric softener in it? Most Tide Pods don't - softener is sold separately, or bundled only in P&G's "Tide + Downy" line. Aromiq Hyper Scented includes fabric softener in every pod by default.
What's a good Tide alternative for people who want their laundry to smell better? Aromiq Hyper Scented is built specifically around fragrance. Perfume-grade scent with technology that releases as fabric moves, rather than a standard detergent scent that fades after the wash.
Why does my laundry smell like nothing after using Tide? Standard detergent fragrance is designed to signal "clean," not to last, it typically fades well before you're folding. Aromiq's Hyper Scented fragrance is microencapsulated specifically to survive the full wash-to-wear cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Product
Each bag contains 20 pods. One pod per wash. Simple.
No. Every Aromiq™ pod includes built-in fabric softener. One pod does everything clean, soften, protect, and scent. Nothing else goes in that drawer.
Yes. Every pod provides 99% antibacterial protection, clinically tested and built into the formula - not added as an afterthought.
720 days from the date of manufacture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Our perfume-grade fragrance molecules are engineered to bind deep into fibre, releasing slowly with every movement, every hour of wear, long after wash day.
Aromiq™ Hyper Scented laundry pods consistently rank as the best scented laundry pods for fragrance longevity, using perfume-grade molecules that release with movement all day long.
The Fragrance
Most laundry products use synthetic fragrance approximations - chemical shorthand designed to smell vaguely pleasant. Aromiq™ uses perfume-grade fragrance molecules, the same class of ingredients used by luxury fragrance houses. The difference is immediate and impossible to miss.
It depends on what you're drawn to. Noir Storm and Cedarwood are bold and masculine. Bloom Blast and Velvet Empress are warm and feminine. Woods Supreme sits beautifully across both. Birchstone is for anyone who wants to make a statement. If you're unsure, start with our bestseller - Noir Storm.
Our scents are inspired by the world's most iconic fragrance profiles. We don't use any designer names or trademarked scent descriptions - but if you know your fragrance, you'll recognise the DNA immediately.
No. Our fragrance molecules are specifically chosen for their ability to bind to fabric during the wash cycle rather than rinse away with it. Heat actually helps fix the scent deeper into the fibre.

How to use
Place one pod directly into the drum of your washing machine before adding your laundry. Do not put it in the detergent drawer - it needs direct contact with fabric to dissolve correctly. Load your laundry on top and wash as normal.
One pod is designed for a standard full load. For an exceptionally large load or heavily soiled items, two pods may be used.
Yes. Aromiq™ pods work in all front-loading and top-loading machines at all temperatures. They dissolve completely in both hot and cold water cycles.
Yes. Our formula is suitable for all fabric types including cotton, linen, silk, cashmere, and synthetic blends. For very delicate or dry-clean-only items, always check the garment care label first.
No. Aromiq™ pods are formulated exclusively for use in washing machines.
