The most important thing is that Suavitel Downy Ap

Suavitel Downy April Fresh 2 in 1 has a practical and resistant packaging that facilitates its application. Its fresh and clean aroma has an immediate impact and remains for several days on clothing, demonstrating good resistance. In addition, its 2-in-1 formula is effective, as it softens fabrics, reduces static and leaves clothes soft and with a pleasant feeling of freshness.

If you're looking for a fabric softener that deliv

My first positive impression came from the scent. It's not a harsh, chemical perfume but a clean, soft, and genuinely fresh aroma that lingers beautifully on clothes, towels, and bedding. My closet smells like a serene meadow, and I often get compliments on how fresh my clothes smell hours after I've put them on. But Dawny is more than just a pleasant smell. The softening power is remarkable. My towels, which had become a bit stiff over time, regained their fluffy, spa-like softness after just one wash with Dawny. My everyday cotton t-shirts and jeans feel noticeably gentler against my skin, without any waxy or sticky residue that some softeners can leave behind.

Downy So Fresh

I love this Downy April Fresh softener! It makes clothes feel super soft and smell amazing Just a small amount does the job, and it really helps with static and wrinkles too. Definitely a laundry essential for me Gets the job done and never had any skin issues. I would highly recommend Downy to anyone looking for a fabric softener that consistently does the job and goes above and beyond. Downy is definitely a must-have in my laundry routine

I absolutely love Downy April fresh! I've been using it for many years now, and it has always been part of my laundry routine. It makes my clothes, sheets and towels really soft, and the scent lasts for such a long time. It's definely worth the money!!

Kept my clothes smelling fresh

I really enjoyed this fabric softener. It has a good smell and it lasted on my clothes. Very easy to use, I just pour in my clothes and that's it. Would recommend if you want your clothes smelling good all day.

Long Lasting Scent

Downy Liquid Fabric Softner is the only Fabric Softner I use! It smells so Clean, Fresh and the Scent is Long Lasting! I use all of the Other Downy Products in my home as well and my favorite are the Plug ins!

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?

Scent has changed

I've used April fresh for as long as I can remember. I'm in my 30s. My mom used the same scent as long as I can remember also. BUT something is different. I thought the packaging looked different but didn't think anything of it. Then when I opened it- whoa! The scent was overpowering. Washing a load of clothes with it fills my entire 2 story 2700 sq ft house with the smell. I'm not exaggerating. I don't even fill my downy or detergent to the first line of the cup. I never have (a professor filled us in on that once-washes the same and makes the bottle last longer) but the scent is ridiculously strong still. Not only is it strong but it's altered. Please. Please. Please change April fresh back to the clean classic smell.

New April Fresh Smell is Horrible!

I have used Downy April Fresh fabric softener for years but since they added the Fabric Protect it smells too strong and powdery! I can't use it - please change it back. I've tried the freshness beads but they don't soften the clothes. For me and others to take the time to write a review on a fabric softener must tell you there is something wrong with the new product. Please change it back!!

New scent is overpowering

As many of the other reviewers have noted, Downy April Fresh is a staple in most American homes. Unfortunately, our family went to use the "new" formulation and had to rewash our clothes to get the overpowering scent to go away. It is not the comforting smell we have all come to love and expect. Please P&G, bring back the original formulation. I fear you are going to lose a lot of loyal customers with this change. I'm headed out to see if I can get any of the old formulation.
