Keep Original Scent on Clothes

Hi! This is definitely an odd question...but here goes anyway. My grandmother recently passed away on Christmas Day and I took a few clothing articles for myself. The clothes smell like her and I love that, but they could use a wash. Is there anyway I can wash these items so that they would keep her scent on them?

Highly unlikely. But maybe if you use her detergent. If the smell is from her own personal body oils....that would be washed away if they are properly laundered. Can you just put one garment in a Ziploc to save as is.

Sorry, I have nothing to add. I just want to say how sorry I am you lost your Grandma on Christmas Day. She must have been very special if you want to keep her scent as a reminder. May your memories help keep her in your heart.
