I really like the scent of the powder Tide detergent with Downy and thought that this Downy liquid would be pretty much the same. It is not. It bears no resemblance to the original Downy liquid that I remember using. The scent it leaves on the clothes is not pleasant at all. I will not be using any more of this product and will donate the bottle to someone else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the smell of Downy fabric softener. I also live in the desert so static cling is kept at bay when I use Downy. One of my biggest pet peeves with a fabric softener is that it can leave stains (like oil stains?) on thin fabric. I've never had that happen with Downy. Plus the fact that the smell lasts so long is a bonus!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally love this product and have no idea why it took me so long to even try it! I used it first when washing my towels and they came out so much softer and smelling great! I will definitely continue to use this.

I used to be a faithful Downy user. No more. First of all, if you shake it as the directions say, it pours out all over the place, not just from the spout. But the absolutely worst thing about it is that for some reason, it now leaves big blue spots all over my sheets and clothes. Sure they go away when I wash them again, but who wants that? I have tried many other fabric softeners and Downy is the only one that has ever left spots on my clothes. I've been using the "cheap" April fresh Downy since all the other products are ridiculously expensive in my opinion. I live alone so am only doing the wash for one person, but even so, I can find a lot better uses for the money I would spend on all the other Downy products.

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.

I received a free bottle of Downey April fresh for free to review and I am so happy I did because I now have a new favorite Downey product! The April fresh smell is delightful, my clothes and towels never smelled so good!! I will definitely being buying this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been a long time since I used a liquid fabric softener in the wash. Downey’s April Fresh Fabric Softener has made a believer out of me. First and foremost, the loads of clothes I did over the last few days have come out April fresh with no static cling. In our climate static cling is a major issue. There was none. The clothes looked great coming out of the dryer, and the sheets and towels have a lovely scent. Guess that I will be purchasing Downy April Fresh Softener one the bottle sent to me is empty. Thanks for allowing me to try this wonderful product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Downy! I used it for the first time last night on my blanket and sheets and they felt so soft and smelled heavenly! The scent is really soft and not over powering, and it really did make my sheets and blankets softer and fluffier. I would use it again and again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a user of fabric softener because I never believed in the concept. However, once I tried my sample I will be using it more often. It makes my clothes smell very nice and for longer compared to just using detergent. For shirts I wear on a weekly basis, I did notice a difference in how they feel. They are literally so soft now. Not crunchy or stiff like they used to me. Because of Downy fabric softener it takes doing laundry to a whole different level and the results are satisfying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got home from vacation last night, so I had lots of laundry to do today. Luckily, I had Ultra Downy April Fresh. First of all, it's concentrated, so the small bottle does 40 loads of wash. It was easy to use in a front loader and my clothes and bedding came out smelling clean and fresh, wrinkle free and soft. I've always been a fan of Downy products. It doesn't bother my sensitive skin like some other fabric softeners and the scent is nice, but not overpowering. I am happy with the results today, so I will definitely continue to use this.
