I used to use dryer sheets back home and when I didn't own a heat pump dryer.
Actually, I started the whole dryer sheet thing in my family as a kid.
There was a coupon for a rebate in a leaflet we got back then and convinced my mum to try them.
And we just kept buying them.
We always bought the blue Lenor once and they work amazingly in a condenser dryer.
But with heat pump dryers, since they don't get that hot, that thin fibrous kind with a waxy coating in them don't usually work that well since the temp dosen't get high enough to transfer the smell enough.
There is a different kind of dryer sheet over here that are packaged like wet wipes and feel like them. They work great in any dryer but I never found any I liked the smell of.
Recently I impulse bought some US import Bounce dryer sheets.
I got them off of Amazon and calculated down to the sheet, they aren't much more expensive than brand name once from a store (it's like a cent more).
And I must say I love the smell.
It's not really comparable to anything - no softner, you can't even give the smell a "color" like most softners do (blue, yellow, pink etc.).
The best way to describe it is "dryer smell".
Laundry from a regular condenser dryer has that typical dryer smell - it's the same type of smell like the "freshly ironed" smell, but somewhat different - more present, but less intense.
But from a heat pump dryer you get pretty much no smell at all if the laundry didn't have any treatment on it.
This emulates that smell.
However I won't be ordering them again.
As nice as they smell, they produce an obscene amount of dust. The fluff is hard to remove - it sticks to it self, forms these very tiny balls and those are basically impossible to remove from the filter without getting them on the floor.
