Hate the way the smell lingers.

No! Eww! The smell lingers way too long on the clothes even after an extra rinse. I cannot stand it. Will be changing softner brand. Apparently won't let me review with one star. Keeps changing it to 4. Not cool.

Horrible new scent!

I've always used April Fresh Downy, I just purchased a huge bottle and discovered that it has a new overpowering scent. It is absolutely awful!! I just threw the whole bottle away. Will never buy again.

A def fav!

This has been our go to fabric softener for years! We love how it is gentle and not to heavy on the fragrance. This is definitely a favorite of mine. Also it is good for sensitive skin.

Wouldn't recommend, period!

I miss the old scent. I have used April Fresh for years and I do not like the new scent. It doesn't last as long and I will not recommend it. Sorry.....bring back the old scent.

light clean scent

A fan favorite for a reason. Clothes come out noticeably softer with a long‑lasting, clean scent. Reviewers consistently praise how well it reduces static and keeps laundry feeling fresh.

Laundry Smells & Feels Amazing!

Ultra Downy Fabric Softener Liquid in the April Fresh scent is an absolute staple for my laundry. The scent is simply delightful . it leaves my clothes smelling wonderfully clean and fresh, a scent that lasts. But beyond the scent, the real magic is how soft and fluffy it makes my laundry feel. Towels, sheets, clothes—they all come out feeling luxurious, not stiff or rough. It also helps reduce static cling, which is a lifesaver for certain fabrics. With 140 fl oz providing up to 190 loads, it's a great value that ensures my clothes always smell and feel nice. This is a great size bottle and the size we normally get; this last month we had to get the larger bottle as this size wasn't available. It works great in our laundry. I absolutely love it!.

Smells Great

I have used Downey softener for years and love it. The scents are so calming and leave your laundry smelling great! My clothes are always soft not stiff. The bottle is easy to grasp and pour into your dispenser. I will continue using Downey as long as they continue making it. I recycle my jug or use it in craft projects!

Giving fabric softener a chance

I was excited to try Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Conditioner, because we're typically a dryer sheet family. I'm always curious how a fabric softener would compare, and I was pleasantly surprised with this Downy product. April Fresh would not usually be my first choice scent, but it was not too overpowering when the clothes came out of the dryer. I liked the way our clothes smelled - not too floral or fruity. They were very soft, although I did not a bit of static cling. This could have also been because I used a bit less as I was apprehensive about the intensity of the scent. Overall, good product and makes me think twice about going back to dryer sheets.

Used to be good!?!?!

I don't know what you did to the original formula. Downy used to work great and smell nice. Now it gets all clumpy and clogs up the dispenser (which I clean frequently). You blame the thickening on temperature extremes. They must have happened during shipment to the grocery store. This never used to happen before, I would bet that you changed the formula to save money. Hard to believe that temperature is to blame, we have lived in the same climate for 50 years. I can't use this stuff and would like a refund.
