Amazing smell - great results!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love when I walk into my laundry room and it smells amazing! I typically use a detergent that is unscented so this was a great alternative for that. my clothes smelled better for longer after being dried since I began using this - which is important to me. I like hugging people and there clothes smell like laundry (not perfume). So, I always hope that people get that vibe off me, too.

Downy April Fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smells fantastic, left our laundry nice and soft (and fluffy). So far the smell has lasted about a week on the clothes, which I appreciate! The whole point of using this type of product is that the smell lingers on the fabric. Otherwise I'd just use dryer sheets for static prevention. I'm really satisfied with this product overall.

Smells wonderful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It smelled great before I opened the bottle. I couldn't wait to do laundry. I wasn't let down. My sheets have never smelled better. I was also happy the static cling wasn't present. I usually use dryer sheets because it's easy and I usually forget to add liquid softeners but if my laundry is going to be this soft I guess I will make more effort to get it right. No sensitive skin issues and no tackiness left on my clothes. I really like Downy April Fresh fabric softener.

PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL DOWNEY

I am devastated by the change in formulation of April Fresh Downey. Please bring back the original formulation! I have been using it loyally for over 20 years and my mother used it before me. No more Downey for this family until the original comes back. This new version is disgusting. It doesn't smell like the original. At first it was thick and clumped up my machine and now is very watery. The other day I spent 15 minutes at the store opening all the bottles looking for one containing the original formula. Not all changes are for the better. Where can I find some original?

THE NEW DOWNY SMELLS HORRIBLE!!!!!!

I've been using Downy for years and years...it's the ONLY fabric softener I have used! UNTIL NOW!! I bought Downy a few days ago...only looked for the April Fresh scent listed on it...washed my clothes, walked into my laundry room and couldn't believe the SMELL ...actually it smelled like old clothes that had been sitting around...or maybe a generic detergent! I examined the clothes...smelled my Cheer bottle...smelled the Downy and then knew what was wrong...looked at the label and saw FABRIC PROTECT! omg...it's HORRIBLE and CERTAINLY NOT APRIL FRESH! YOU GUYS MESSED UP WHEN YOU ADDED "PEARLS" a few years ago...but NOW YOU'VE LOST A CUSTOMER!!! (and by the looks of things, more than `1 ) It wasn't broke...why did you mess it up??? Unless you bring back the original/or even latest Downy, I won't be buying anymore! In fact, I'm hoping I'll be able to get my money back...going back to the store tomorrow!! THE SMELL OF THIS IS HORRIBLE....WHAT WERE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?? AND if you wash clothes properly, that will protect them enough...WE DON'T NEED YOU PROTECTING OUR CLOTHES!!!! Wondering if the dryer sheets are messed up, also??? LOOKING FOR ANOTHER FABRIC SOFTENER PRONTO!!!!

Love this stuff

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Downy fabric softener for year, just not this scent. I have boys that play baseball and their uniforms can get dirty and stinky. I wash uniforms at least twice a week and the shirts always come out smelling clean and wrinkle free. My sons didn't seem to like the smell of this one; they said it smells too "girly". I think they are just thrown off since the lid is pink. I like the smell and it isn't too strong. I like the the closets still smell like clean clothes a few days after laundry day.

Leaves your clothes smelling fresh and very soft.

During the summer months I hang most of our family's clothing out on the clothes line so fabric is a must. Ultra Downy leave the clothes soft and smelling fresh and now more dry itching clothing. Nothing smells better than fresh bed sheets off the clothes line.

Heaven in a Bottle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Enhancer is literally a small piece of heaven in a bottle! I used it with both clothing and sheets. Unlike other fabric softeners I've tried in the past, the softener's smell lasts until the clothing or sheets next washing. I especially like washing my sheets with this. There's nothing better than going to bed with sheets that smell April Fresh every night. I have sensitive skin and this product has not caused any issues which is a huge bonus. From the sleek design to the long lasting smell, there's nothing I don't like about this product. I highly recommend!!

I don't know why you changed it!

This was my favorite product. The scent was one I used throughout my home in many ways. The new scent is not good! It's strong and too floral. I'm sure some people like it and you guys could have created as a new scent and called it April Strong but please bring back the old scent!

Downey raves

I have been using Downey products for about 25 years. I love the smell and the way it makes my clothes feel. Especially my bedding and linens. I would encourage all my friends and family to use this product. I give it a 5 out of 5 for the coziness and warm feeling I get when I crawl into my bed. Not only does it smell good, I never have static cling when I use it.
