As a household staple for many Latinos, the Suavitel® brand has become synonymous with a feeling of comfort and its unique scent often serves as a reminder of the soft nature of the amor de mama (a mother's love). Now, the beloved brand's new Fragrance Pearls™ in-wash scent boosters can help extend that feeling and fragrance. Available in two irresistible scents, the Fabulous Field Flowers® and Soothing Lavender® variants of Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™ in-wash-scent boosters deliver longer lasting freshness to your family's laundry.

"At its core, the Suavitel® brand reflects a mother's love for her children. With a familiar fragrance and gentle softness that is warm like her embrace, our brand helps remind families how much she cares," said Derek Gordon, vice president/general manager U.S. Home Care, Colgate-Palmolive. "Mamas often go above and beyond to make their families feel loved and our Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™ in-wash scent boosters are a simple way to personalize an everyday chore into something special while helping make their families feel cared for through a fragrance that will last 5X longer."

Knowing that moms are busier than ever, the Suavitel® brand has partnered with Marines Duarte (@En_TusZapatos), creator and blogger of En tus Zapatos, to provide special tips on how to better manage household chores including how to extend your laundry's fragrance for your entire family.

"Whenever a fresh load of laundry comes out of the dryer and the Suavitel® fragrance hits me, I'm immediately brought back to my childhood, when I would fold towels alongside my mother.  I'm so excited that I can make that feeling last even longer with the new Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™ in-wash scent boosters," said Duarte. "Using Suavitel® products is just one of my little tricks to make my family feel cared for and loved, and I'm excited to share other ideas to make a mom's presence felt even when we're running around!"
