Heaven Scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried Downy fabric sheets in the past, but this liquid fabric enhancer was by far superior. I figured it would be like any other fabric softener, but that was not the case. My laundry smelled amazing out of the dryer and the scent stayed throughs wearing the garments and using the towels. The fabrics were indeed soft and static free, but the scent was by far my favorite part! It's subtle, not overpowering. It just smells clean, fresh and wonderful. I am in love with it! I've not had a liquid softener that worked as well or left such a perfect scent after washing. I've found the in wash scent booster to be too overpowering, the Downy isn't. I'm adding it to my washing routine from now on. Clean sheet day is going to be EPIC.

Gym clothes smell great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew that the real test for this product would be to see how it works on my gym clothes. I was not disappointed. I work out 4-5 days a week, and I rotate between two t-shirts and two pairs of pants. I have used these clothes for over a year and a half, and I began to notice that even after washing (and using a different fabric softener), that my clothes were starting to retain that sweaty, stinky smell. I was just about ready to trash them when I decided to try the Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Enhancer. The scent in the bottle is not overpowering, and I didn't need to use as much as I suspected. My stinky old gym clothes now smell fresh, and dare I say, NEW! I'm very pleased! The scent after washing is even lighter than in the bottle, and to me, it smells fresh. Another thing I noticed is that there seemed to be less lint in the lint trap, which is definitely a good thing. My only complaint (and it's minor) is that the fill lines inside the cap are a bit difficult to see.

Used for many years, but not anymore.

Downy has always been a staple in my family, but for the past few years I have had to eliminate it due to a sensitivity to fragrance. Other members of my family live by it and will not use anything else. Downy makes clothes soft, fluffy and the smell is a bonus. I received this product free for product testing purposes and these opinions are 100% my own. I gave the product to my sister and she loves the way her clothes stay smelling fresh for weeks on end.

This product lasts!

I have tried a few different brands of fabric softener and nothing compares to Downy. With great scents, it's easy to love. And the smell lasts even if the clothes sit in a drawer. I can pull out clothes and they still smell fresh. Plus, I have noticed my clothing stays super soft as well. Highly recommend this product!

Downy Color Enhancer Fabric Softner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the downy color enhancer fabric softener is amazing!! I used it on my darks, not only did the color stay, the clothing did not pill. I also loved the fresh floral fruity smell that is still there from a few days ago!!! Great on my kids track and soccer uniforms, no more sweaty smells. Love the feeling of how soft my clothes are after using Ultra Downy!!!

Smells Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this on my laundry yesterday and my clothes smelled amazing once they were completely dried. Kept smelling every clothing item before folding. Left my towels so soft unlike any other fabric softener I’ve used

Please bring back the old Downy

I have used Downy all of my life, the type that came to be known as April Fresh, which was a product that my Mother used since well before I was born! I used to get compliments from people all the time about how good my clothes always smelled, and I was always happy to pass along that it was all due to Downy. It always worked wonders at softening my clothes. I don't understand why such a fantastic product was ever changed. The smell is nothing like it used to be, and it does not last nearly as long. It doesn't soften nearly as well either, and I find the buildup in my fabric softener dispenser to be very annoying. The other new scents are too overpowering to consider using. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring the old formulation back! A lifelong Downy user is being forced to switch to another brand - something I would never have considered doing before.

Great Softner with nice aroma.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We usually purchase non-scented sensitive skin (free and clear) fabric softner. My sons are usually allergic to the cheaper fabric softners. We have been using this for 2 weeks, and our clothes have never been softer and the smell is very pleasant. Will definitely recommend this to everyone, especially with families that have sensitive skin.

Please, please, change back to the original scent!

After a recent purchase of Downy, my laundry and house immediately started smelling offensive. After closely studying the bottle, I noticed that Downy now calls itself a "CONDITIONER". It's apparent that the new designation resulted in a new scent... Multiple attempts were made to give the new scent a chance, but it became unbearable. I have been a faithful Downy fabric SOFTENER user my entire life. Now that Downy is a fabric CONDITIONER, the smell is horrendous. I did luck up and find some old, original SOFTENER at a store (I bought the only 2 SOFTENERs on the shelf) - but assume my Downy days are numbered. Unless the original scent is returned, I will have to find a new brand... :(
