Sweet Citrus vs Eucalyptus Mint — How to Choose Your Solotab Scent

A hand wash you use ten or fifteen times a day has to smell good. Not aggressively, not in the way that lingers on your hands and competes with your food or your perfume — but well. Cleanly. In a way that makes the act of washing your hands feel like something rather than nothing.

Solotab launches with two scents, and the decision between them is less complicated than it might seem. Here's an honest breakdown of both.

Sweet Citrus

Sweet Citrus is the brighter of the two. It opens with a clean, rounded citrus note — think freshly peeled orange rather than citrus-scented cleaning product — and settles into something warmer and slightly sweet. It's energising without being loud. The kind of scent that works at 7am before coffee, at noon after a meal, and at 9pm without demanding attention.

It works well in kitchens, because it cuts through rather than competes with food smells. It works in shared bathrooms because it reads as neutral and clean rather than personal. And it works for households with children because the freshness reads as familiar without being infantile.

If your instinct is toward brightness, warmth, and a scent that disappears cleanly after washing — Sweet Citrus is likely your scent.

Eucalyptus Mint

Eucalyptus Mint is more bracing. The eucalyptus note is clean and medicinal in the best sense — crisp, cool, immediately clarifying — balanced by a soft mint that keeps it from feeling clinical. It's invigorating without being aggressive. Present without being heavy.

It performs well in bathrooms used in the morning, or any handwashing moment where you want to feel properly awake. It pairs naturally with the kind of routine that starts a day rather than ends one. If you find sweet or floral scents cloying, Eucalyptus Mint is the cleaner, more neutral of the two — all freshness, no warmth.

For households with a guest bathroom, Eucalyptus Mint tends to read as deliberate and modern — the scent signals thoughtfulness, not just habit.

Can you use both?

Yes, and many people will. The obvious move is Sweet Citrus in the kitchen or main bathroom — where brightness and familiarity work in its favour — and Eucalyptus Mint in a private or guest bathroom where you want something more considered. Solotab's starter kit includes both scents precisely because most households have more than one handwashing point.

The reusable bottle is the same for both — you're just choosing which tablet goes into which bottle. When you run out of one scent, you reorder that tablet. There's no bottle to replace, no matching pump to track down, no commitment beyond the tablet itself.

What about future scents?

Solotab will expand its scent range after launch, with new tablets releasing periodically. The bottle you buy now will work with every future tablet — so the bottle is a long-term purchase, and the scent is a short-term choice you can change whenever you like.
