We Changed the Ritual
of Laundry.
We believe the most repetitive task of your week deserves to be the most luxurious moment of your day.
Why did "clean" have to smell so sterile?
We looked at the laundry aisle and saw a disconnect. You curate every other scent in your life—your perfume, your candles, your body oil. Yet the detergent touching your skin all day smelled like synthetic "blue goo" or nothing at all.
We asked a simple question: Why can't laundry detergent be designed like fine fragrance?
So we built La Vie Douce. We replaced water-soluble additives with perfume-grade oils sourced to bond to fabrics. We created a detergent that treats your clothes as gently as you treat your skin.
Santal. Amber. Raw Vanilla.
The New Standard of Care
Weeks, Not Hours
Base notes like Amber and Santal are heavy molecules. They bond to the fiber of your linens, creating a scent trail that greets you for weeks.
Protection for What You Love
Our pH-neutral formula is designed to smooth fibers and prevent pilling. Think of it as skincare for your textiles.
A Moment for You
It’s permission to pause and enjoy the domestic space you’ve built. The feeling of sliding into sheets that smell like a five-star hotel.
"We are a fragrance house disguised as a laundry company. We don't just clean your clothes. We give them a signature scent."
Intentionally Formulated.
You wouldn't put harsh chemicals on your skin. Why put them on the clothes that touch your skin all day?

Concentrated Formula
A smaller bottle means less waste and a more potent formula.
Permission to Indulge.
Life is busy. We often rush through the mundane tasks just to get them done. But I believe those small, repetitive moments are actually opportunities.
Whether it's the confidence of a shirt that smells like you, or the peace of sliding into fresh sheets on a Sunday night—you deserve that small luxury. We created La Vie Douce so you never have to settle for "good enough" again.
