Hey there, Gainiac! Your garments should be lighting up your nose with scent, after adding our Gain Fireworks! to your wash. If you're not getting ahhhmazing fragrance, it's possible your in wash scent beads may have been exposed to extreme heat or cold before you purchased them. It's also possible you happened to pick up a container that's more than a year old. We hope you'll bring your Original Scent Gain Fireworks! canister with you to your phone, and call 1 (800) 888-4246. We'd love to talk with you and get you the full Gain-experience, any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST; or, Saturdays and Sundays from 9 AM to 5:30 PM, EST.
