"I love the Kaytee bedding- it is the best stuff on the market for keeping the smell down. I wouldn't use anything else and I have tried them all. I was disappointed with this though, as I paid extra for this in comparison to the regular Kaytee bedding, and expected this to actually have a lavender scent. I could not smell anything extra- this litter smells just like the regular litter. I tried the rose scent too, and there was no extra smell that I could detect- maybe only the mice can smell it! For me this was not worth the extra money, so unless it is the same price as the regular Kaytee litter, don't waste your money."
