I have been using Downy April Fresh for as long as I have been doing laundry. I love the fresh smell of our clothes from using Downy. A few years ago, I was disappointed when the scent pearls were added and ruined the wonderful smell. Now, I just bought a new bottle of Downy with the new "fabric protect". After washing my first load of laundry I knew right away something was not right! The scent is not the same. It's very strong and unpleasant. I want the normal Downy April Fresh back! My clothes don't smell good anymore! Why change the scent of something that everyone loves so much?

There are not many things that I have to buy Name Brand. Fabric softener is the exception. I will have to vouch after trying non-name brand, that there really is a difference! My clothes look & feel better that fresh laundry scent stays with the clothes! Don't skimp on fabric softener -With that being said, maybe they have them and I just have not seen them, but I wish they had refills I could buy so I did not have to buy another plastic container each time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this product for a few weeks now and it is so wonderful. I really love how extra soft it has made our clothes and especially blankets! And the clean smell lasts for days. I will continue to use this product for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing that hit me was the scent. I am a lover of the classic Downy scent that says freshness without being too much. It left our clothes fragrant and soft. Because I am a super-busy working mom, I appreciate the fact that it kept my sons' clothes wrinkle free from the dryer to the hangers.

When I use Downy it makes my clothes so soft and smell so good. I never wash my clothes unless I use Downy. I use downy everyday when I wash clothes. I love that it doesn't take much Downy poured into your washing machine and still get the great benefits of soft and clothes smelling good. Downy® Fabric Softener for free, but all opinions are your own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy doesn't disappoint! I decided to try this fabric softener after months of avoiding using any and boy am I glad I did! I couldn't get over how well it not only made my clothes smell, but my entire laundry room smelled of laundry freshness without being overpowering! After doing loads of laundry, including towels and sheets, I am so impressed with how soft the clothes are, as well! There really is nothing better than crawling into bed with clean sheets that smell April fresh! I am confident that this switch will be a mainstay in our home!

Downy liquid fabric conditioner saved my laundry! All my clothes were getting knit balls and my new clothes were looking old after just a few war shes before I started using Downy. Now my clothes are softer, knit ball free, and smell amazing. They look new for longer and the clean scent stays on the laundry until the next wash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My roommate and I both love this product, mainly because of how it smells. Best part about it is that the scent is long-lasting and keeps are sheets and clothes smelling nice longer than what we are using before. Before trying this product I would always just use a dryer sheet but product will be my new favorite. It is also super affordable which girls on a budget LOVE ;) Definitely will purchase this product again when we run out of this bottle.

I've been a faithful Downy user for more then 35 years and have always loved this product. Yesterday I opened a new bottle and was overwhelmed with the floral scent. I thought I had incorrectly purchased a scent other then original April Fresh Downy, but no I hadn't. Why has the scent changed? It still performs great on static, softness, and wrinkles, but the scent is so overbearing I'm unable to wear clothes that have been rinsed in it. Please bring back the tried and true original April Fresh scent we all have loved for years... From the reviews its very apparent I'm not the only one that feels this way. Let's hope P & G hears our pleas and brings back the scent we've all known and loved for decades. I'll keep checking reviews in the hope that the original scent returns, but until it does I won't be purchasing Downy again. So disappointed to say goodbye to a favorite product I've loved for years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, thank you for the free sample of Downey! Our household loves it! Keeps your clothes fresh and smelling great. Trust me I'm pretty particular about my laundry and Downey gets the job done.
