This smells absolutely great!

The moment that I opened this the scent hit me and I was in love. Downy April fresh smells so good, that I couldn't wait to wash clothes so I could use it. A capful is all you need! My clothes are so soft and smells like a bed of fresh Spring flowers . 2 weeks later and my clothes still smell wonderful

ANNOYING ODOR

Yes - why did you change the scent? Why did you change the formula? This has a terrible stink - Downy no longer makes the laundry soft and it does leave lumpy blue stuff in the dispenser. Also, why do you use such a silly cap that when you try to pour after shaking the product runs onto or into the washing machine?. As I said it smells so bad - it makes me crabby.

So much softness and scent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am shocked with how much I really like this Downy fabric softener! Previously, I did not use any fabric softener regularly because I just wasn’t so crazy about any of them. I have to say I have used this April Fresh softener in every load this week and I am loving it! Many of my work shirts have to hang dry, normally leaving them stiff and unscented. No longer! So happy to have fresh, soft shirts and bras!

Most amazing smelling fabric softner!

The Ultra Downy April Fresh fabric softner smells amazing not only when you first open it but when you put it in your laundry. I was very surpised to find that even days after cloths have been washed and and dried and put away they still have the April Fresh smell to them. I like that you do not have to use a large amount to get that fresh smell days later.

Wonderful surprise

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was out of my favorite blue top downy so I went to my local market and sure enough they were out too! They did have the April fresh pink top downy... So what the heck I gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised! It's not too flowery smelling which I was afraid of. It smelt my whole house up and everyone who came in wanted to know what it was. I thought I was going to have to beat them off with a stick once the laundry was done.

New April Fresh scent is unbearable!

I've used April Fresh Downy since a small child so at 40 years and I had to return the newest bottle I purchased because the scent is so unbearable. It's way to strong, smells nothing like the previous scent and causes my laundry to smell awful! The previous scent had a nice, soft scent and this is very offensive and offputting. I am hopeful, with enough complaints, you will change back to the previous scent. I'm trying a different scent, but I will switch brands if necessary because the new scent makes my home smell terrible and I can't stand to be in it after washing clothes. Why such a strong scent???? Please change back!

April Fresh Ultra Downy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm REALLY liking my April Fresh Ultra Downy! I had used Downy products in the past. However, the measuring lines in the caps were NOT for he products - and we had to use trial and error - since then, they've added the NEW markings based on regular, NOT "ultra", measuring lines built in to the cap. What I AM liking about the new cap that I have is the fact that they've taken the guess work out and are including the ACTUAL measurement markings for the "he" compatible concentrated product - NICE! It has a very nice aroma. The product does seem to soften, however, it also depends on whether you do one or two rinses. I have found a couple of things that I do not care for - the fact that the fragrance does not last - only three or four days, tops. And, It would be nice if the makers of Downy would NOT use a coloring agent OR, at least make it less blue and more "opaque" - almost clear. The product really doesn't keep my clothing bright, doesn't have long lasting freshness, I still have static cling UNLESS I use a dryer sheet with it, NOR has it prevented pilling, etc. - Basically, it seems like the product does NOT do for my laundry what I have read that it is suppose to do. Yes, I DO use it from time to time - I grew up on it and it's hard to switch to something else when you've used a product for over 50 years. I DO like the fragrance and have been known to cut the bottles open - after use and dried - cutting the bottle up to use as scent providers for small areas - drawers, etc. Do I recommend this product? Yes, as a laundry additive and NOT based on all of the marketing hype. Just try it not thinking about the statements made for selling purposes and just try it and see if it's something that you'll want to use. The thing is, NO product can do what has been claimed - it's impossible - because of the rigors of daily usage of the garments AND all of the agitation of the washing machine AND water - especially, if you have city water or well water - treated or untreated. I do use it and probably will for a long time!

Love Downy

I use Downy all the time, my family loves the smell and niceness it leaves on your clothes, I have 3 teenagers, so I really need this for their clothes, thank you for making such a great product, and I also love all the great scents that you make! I've tested your Downy® Fabric Softener for free through Influenster, but all opinions are my own!!

Downy is the best fabric softner IN THE WORLD!!!!

My clothes always smell absolutely wonderful after using this product and they are so extremely soft. I will use NO OTHER fabric softener. I received a free bottle in a VoxBox. This was an extra bonus for me. I always recommend Downy to everyone I know.
