I miss the old scent. This new formula that has been out for a while is too strong. I open my washer after doing a load of laundry and the smell literally smacks me in the face when I open the door. I shouldn’t be choking on fumes from my bedding when trying to sleep because the fabric softener is too overpowering. On a side note— as other reviewers have mentioned, my one star review is changed to a four star review after selecting “preview” before posting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was very nervous using the Downy the first time we did laundry. My son, when I used softeners before, would break out in hives, so we introduced it slowly. Have been using it for the last week with no issues. I love the smell of the softener and it helps keep my clothes soft. I have to remind myself it's not thick or I pour too much in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I used to be a gain fabric softener user. I got the Downey softener and it was a game changer! First of all, I used it on a Friday, and forgot to switch my clothes around before a camping trip. Came home on Sunday, thought I’d have to re wash them from sitting in the washer all weekend. Expecting to smell mildew, my clothes still smelled fresh! For a busy mom like me, that’s definitely a win in my book! Secondly, when they were finally dry, they were so soft, and better then I could ever imagine. I couldn’t ever say enough good about Downey fabric softener. I’m a believer and I’m making the switch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tired this fabric softener with our bed sheets, and they smell amazing. I have never quite liked the fabric of the sheets I chose to use with this product, but it softened them up so nicely! The scent is so nice on the pillow cases, as well, and not too overwhelming. I would say I will never again wash my sheets without them, but the price may not allow that. Only reason for 4 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Enhancer! It made my blankets and sheets so soft! Those are mainly what I want my fabric softener to work its magic on and Downy far surpassed my expectations. Plus, the scent is great! I love that when I put the clean blankets and sheets on my bed and couch in my bedroom it really freshened the entire room. I would highly recommend Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Enhancer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Enhancer is great! It was really easy to use in my HE washer. It made my laundry smell great. Not only that, but it made my clothes much less wrinkly, much softer and they have way less static than normal. I didn't even have to use a dryer sheet after washing. I am so pleased with the Downy Fabric Enhancer that I am adding it to my daily laundry routine.

I received a sample of this fabric softener to try for free and review. I really liked the way my whole laundry room smelled while I was doing my laundry and how soft my blankets were when I took them out of the dryer. I will continue to use this on my towels and blankets that I want to be super soft and fresh.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving the downy April fresh liquid fabric enhancer. 1st of all I love the scent. It is not too over powering yet strong enough to leave a great suck on my close. When I wash my clothes with this Downey it makes them feel soft in static free with a light scent as well. I would highly recommend this to others as it works great and smells great to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this product is! I stopped using dryer sheets and switched to dryer balls a few months ago because I hated that weird film the clothes seemed to get. The Downey liquid didn’t leave that film at all and the smell isn’t too strong. I don’t have a specific place in my washer for softener, so I just had to add it in the bottom with the soap so I may not be getting the full benefits. Once my bottle is empty, I will purchase another one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A few days ago my dryer broke down so I have been hanging clothes on the line to dry. I was going heavy on my normal fabric softener because the first load I air dried was NOT SOFT to say the least. It was almost stiff and crisp! Eventually I ran out of my regular stuff and decided to try April Fresh Downy mostly because April fresh reminded me of Fresh Spring Air. Let me just say....WOW! The smell is literally fantastic! It reminds me of exactly of the way clothes should smell fresh from the line with the crisp spring air! I also found that Downy brand far surpassed my regular brand in softness too! After using the downy, even with my air dried laundry you couldn't even tell they were not fresh from the dryer!!! My clothes smell SO FRESH and SO SOFT!! April fresh as a scent itself is the BEST scent on the market . It reminded me of a cross between fresh linen and waterfalls. I wont be going without Downy April Fresh again, I am so glad I tried it!!
