I don't understand the "gain" part. Any ideas?
Thank you!

French translation:Léger (?) et Gain
Explanation:
Gain est un nom propre: "Although Gain is best known for cleaning clothes, their product offering goes a bit beyond detergent. In addition to detergent, Gain makes fabric softener, scent boosters, dryer sheets, and dish detergent. Here's a quick break down of the number of products Gain offers in each category"

'Parfum Gain' donc. Voir l'image.

Je n'ai pas de solution avérée pour "Light". Je trouve des annonces pour ce produit parfumé en "Citrus and Light", mais les images montrent toutes "Citrus and Zest".

Light and Gain


Explanation:
It doesn't matter what it 'means'. It's part of a proper noun (the product name) and does not need to be understood - and less still translated into French.
