too strong

I used half of the recommended amount of the scent beads. When I was folding the laundry, the scent was so strong that I could almost taste it (like very strong perfume). I ended up washing some of the items again to get rid of the scent. My husband found that when he dried himself with his towel that had been washed with the beads, that it seemed to reactivate the scent. He did not like the scent either.
