I ordered this thread specifically to carry in a handbag. For this use case is good, but I did not like the thread itself. She has a rather unusual weave and I think that due to this it is more durable, but I have it breaks all the time, well, just all the time! Definitely not for those whose teeth are quite close to each other. The smell I have not noticed, well, maybe a little mint this, but pronounced taste sweet. Like the design of the package, it looks stylish, and more on the visible side of the transparent movie itself, so that the end of the thread will not unexpected, as it was with me all the time, when I used the string Oral-B ... Nevertheless, this book is no longer thread I will. If my review was helpful, please click yes.
