Worse? Maybe not. I think both are evil. If that cloth became wide-spread, it would be even *harder* to avoid fragrances. Think about it--folks are already inundated with too many synthetic scents--fabric softener, detergent, soap, lotion, cosmetics, hair goos, and then (of course) perfume. They don't realize how sickening they can be to other folks, but if you add in *scented fabric*, it gets even worse and harder to avoid. Folks who don't pay attention to scents, but don't go out of their way to ignore them are probably plentiful and wouldn't think anything of buying these things, just like there are folks who don't wear perfume who *DO* buy glade plug-ins to hide toilet smells.
The addition of scent-impregnated cloth into stores and the public would just be overwhelming. Plus, it's designed to *not* wash out. Perfume can be washed away. Bleagh. I'm hoping this doesn't take off, but the fragrance industry has very few limits right now (legally).
I'm really brain-foggy right now, so I'm not sure if I made any sense.
