Built for the bold. Crisp bergamot cuts through warm cedarwood and a smooth leather base — clean, confident, and quietly masculine on work shirts, gym gear, and everything in between.

Description
Defender is our boldest scent — cologne-grade fragrance built on plant-based cleaning power. It cuts through gym-bag funk and work-week wear, then dries down to a clean, confident scent that lingers without overpowering. Tough on grime, gentle on skin — safe for the whole family. Ultra-concentrated: 1–2 tablespoons is all a normal load needs, so one 32 oz bottle handles 50+ loads.
Gently shake, then pour 1–2 tablespoons into your detergent tray or directly into the drum (use more for large or extra-dirty loads). Wash in cool or warm water — Tyme works in HE and traditional machines. Tumble dry low to lock in the scent and protect fabrics.
Shipping & Returns
Orders ship within 1–2 business days. Free shipping on all subscription orders; flat-rate on one-time orders. Every bottle is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee — no return shipping required. See full policy.
Cologne-grade confidence
Cedar, bergamot, and worn leather. Defender works like a detergent and finishes like the fragrance counter — funk out, confidence in.
50+ loads per 32 oz bottle. Less water shipped, less plastic, less shelf space.
Tyme vs. The Big Bottles
We measured ourselves against the jugs at the supermarket. It wasn't close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you're wondering, answered.
What does Defender smell like?
Crisp bergamot brightness over warm cedarwood, grounded in a smooth leather base. Think well-made cologne, not cleaning aisle — bold enough to notice, refined enough for every day.
How many loads do I get per bottle?
50+ loads. Tyme is ultra-concentrated, so 1–2 tablespoons handles a standard load. That works out to about $0.56 per load on subscription.
Is the scent overpowering?
No — it's designed to be long-lasting yet subtle. You'll catch soft hints of it through the day and a fuller bloom when you climb into fresh sheets. Prefer more presence? Use a touch extra per load.
Is Tyme safe for all clothes, machines, and sensitive skin?
Yes. Tyme is low-sudsing (HE and traditional washers, hot or cold water, darks and delicates) and made with plant-derived surfactants and enzymes — no parabens, phthalates, dyes, or phosphates, so it's gentle on sensitive skin.
How does the subscription work? Can I cancel?
You pick the delivery frequency; we handle the rest — 20% off every order, free shipping, and free gifts. Skip a delivery, swap scents, pause, or cancel anytime from your account in two clicks. No fees, no phone calls, no guilt trips.
What if I don't love it?
Every bottle is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. Email us and we'll make it right — no return shipping needed.

Gym bag doesn’t stand a chance
Defender is the first detergent that actually kills the funk in my workout gear — and leaves it smelling like cologne instead of chemicals.

Compliments at the office
Wore a Defender-washed shirt to work and three people asked what I was wearing. It’s the laundry.
James K. · Verified Buyer
★★★★☆
Beautiful scent, wish it were a touch stronger
The scent is gorgeous but more subtle than I expected — I wanted my whole closet to smell like it. Cleaning power is excellent though, and it's the best detergent we've tried.
Sam W. · Verified Buyer
Response from Tyme SoapThanks Sam! For a fuller scent, try 3 tablespoons on larger loads and tumble dry low — heat locks the fragrance in. And if you like a bolder profile, Defender is our strongest scent.

She keeps stealing my hoodies
My girlfriend says my hoodies smell too good now. I’ve accepted I’ll never get them back. Worth it.
