The movie starts out showing the directors abosultly beautiful wife and you find she died of breast cancer. You feel sadness for this man and then he opens a pair of Justice pajamas and they smell. The smell the film claims is secret and protected by the government and companies and says its proprietary. The director goes through the impotent search of what's in the pajamas by calling the company
Several times including the Chinese manufacturers but he never once googled what's used I'm making clothes?
He then cant find the answer so he sends it off to a lab and finds out not shockingly (to me )that china is using banned chemicals. So he confronts the CEO of Justice brand at an investor meeting and clearly the CEO doesn't know what's in making the clothes and is just following standard procedure.
Now the documentary takes a wild turn and now is trying to blend the smell of the pajamas to Fragrance Labels? The showed channel # 5 and Jwow and AXE body spray. They again kept on saying that its proprietary and is secret. He interviews perfume makers and clearly cut the tape when they told him what's in it. Perfume has been made since the beginning of civilization it's made out of the same ingredients the reason they do not tell you what's in perfume or cologne is becuase it's from animal glands. Beaver, muskrat, and and skunk. Its mixed with vanilla bean extract and floral extracts. It's not toxic and it's not a chemical.
The whole documentary started correctly with the chemical in clothes this is why its recommended to wash clothes before you wear them. Then it turns into anything that has Fragrance label is a cancer causing chemical it's simply not True and it takes away from the real danger the active ingredients that clearly say Danger on it and the formaldehyde that's in new clothes. Leather has an insane about of chemicals in it and that wasn't mentioned. It's not a good documentary.
