Durable and definitely masks the nasty smells. FYI though, I have a 60lb dog and these bags were too small.
My dearest dog, as wonderful and charming as she is, can drop some gnarly solids where I have to position myself upwind to prevent myself from gagging. With regular bags, I would literally have to hold my breath from the second I would see her begin to squat until I've tossed the waste into the trash. These scented bags are very helpful for when I accidentally get a whif of that putrid stench. They don't mask it completely, but considerably. The lavender scent makes you feel a little less dirty too, considering that you're picking up poop. It'll linger on your hand for a little bit and quickly goes away once you're no longer touching the bag. The bags are plentiful and fairly-priced. Unless you have more than 1 dog, or have a dog with an insane amount of bowel movement, 120 bags will last you a good amount of time. I've never had an issue with tearing a bag, even when I've scooped up twigs and rocks - which is a huge plus because the I've never had a good day that starts with my finger accidentally being inserted into a warm turd because the bag ripped. Even when tearing the bag off from the rest of the roll - the perforation works well. It usually requires two hands to detach a bag, but it's never caused me to rip another bag by mistake. They're not difficult to open either - with just a little bit of friction, the edges will come apart. I have yet to come across a buggy one that was sealed on both ends. The only issue I have is the size. I have a 60-pound dog who likes to drop off the kids at the pool all at once, if you know what I mean - I can bag up all the kids without much issue, but it's a little tricky to knot it closed without worrying about little remnants of kids on the upper portion of the bag. I would say it's a sufficient size for small-medium sized dogs. For dogs (and their poops) that are larger, you might have a little bit of concern. Eventually you'll get a good method that works for you, but this issue could be prevented with a larger bag. It's not a deal breaker for me but if I can find a larger bag that is equally sturdy and odor-masking, I would be willing to try it out before coming back to this product. Overall, I definitely liked it but I do wish it were a bit larger. EDIT: Yay! There are larger sized baggies! The seller has informed me of a 11"x13" sized bag that they offer (rather than the 9"x13"). The prices per bag are only about 4 cents apart, and I would very much rather pay a few cents for a bag that'll fit my poochie's poopies a little better. However, the XL bags appear to be rolled into a longer shape than the standard bags, so I'll have to replace my bag dispenser. Fortunately I crochet them myself so it shouldn't be too hard of a task (let me know if you're interested in buying any too). I've changed my original 4-star rating to 5-stars because the item description doesn't specifically say what sized poops it can/can't contain and does specify the size of the bag. It's not the item or seller's fault that my dog's turds are huge.
