Ever got a secondhand piece of clothing from Vinted and wondered if it was washed in a chemical lab explosion? You're not alone! Buyers are left questioning the intense aroma emanating from their purchases, with some describing it as migraine-inducing.

Lucy Phipps, a frequent online shopper, expressed her bewilderment: 'What are they trying to wash out with that much detergent? A crime scene? Even after several washes, the smell lingers like a bad dream.'

Meanwhile, Vinted seller Nikki Hollis shared her secret recipe for that nose-tingling scent: an over-enthusiastic spray of Febreze, a truckload of washing powder, and a dash of scent booster. Her reason? To distract buyers from the actual condition of the clothes, which might not be 'new without tags' as advertised.

Looks like it's not just the clothes that are secondhand—so is the air freshener aisle!
