## Claims ### Claim 1 A water-soluble unit dose article comprising a water-soluble film and a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising: from about 0.1% to about 10% of a polyetheramine of Formula (I): wherein each R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, a methyl group, and an ethyl group, wherein at least one R group is a methyl group, and x is in the range of about 2 to about 20 and wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 200 to about 1000 grams/mole, wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition further comprises 15.3% or more, by weight of the composition, of solvent selected from the group consisting of glycerol, propanediol, dipropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, ethanol, isopropanol, butenol and mixtures thereof, wherein the liquid laundry detergent further comprises from 3% to 15%, by weight of the composition, of water, and wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition is free of perfume, encapsulated perfume, and perfume delivery agents. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), each and every R group is a methyl group and x is about 2.5. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein said polyetheramine comprises a polyetheramine mixture comprising at least 90%, by weight of said polyetheramine mixture, of said polyetheramine of Formula (I). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 1 wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 230 to about 700 grams/mole. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The water-soluble unit dose article of claim 2 wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average
