Best fabric softener

I have been buying this fabric softener for years it’s honestly the best smelling one that I’ve found so far. I will buy anything that smells like this! The bottle is also recyclable. 🤪

Soft, fresh smelling laundry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy calm is a long time favorite scent. Was really happy to have this back in my life again. Smells so good and leaves clothes so soft. The freshness lasts too.

Relaxing scent and exceptional softness without le

​"I absolutely love Downy Infusions Calm; it has become a staple in my laundry routine. The first thing that stands out is the incredible scent of lavender and vanilla, which leaves a truly relaxing feeling on my clothes for a long time. The consistency of the liquid is perfect, making it very easy to follow the usage instructions and pour the exact amount without any mess. The packaging is ergonomic and easy to handle even with one hand. Most importantly, it leaves absolutely no residue on the garments, keeping them extremely soft and smelling fresh. Highly recommended for anyone looking for that extra touch of comfort!"

Love the smell of Calm Downy. It lingers lightly.

Very disappointed to see that Fred Meyer/Kroger i no carrying it. I love it so much and don't want to use any other. I love the lavender with vanilla scent that is not overwhelming but a sweet and gentle scent that lingers in just the right amount and length of time. Don't stop making it please!! It is the only one I use!

Smells AMAZING 🤩

This stuff smells so good. You might not be able to use it in every wash but in most washes and it lasts at least a week or two. If you have it in a secure place in the closet it lasts a little bit longer. But this stuff is the best smelling lavender and it's not even very very potent smell it just is the best smelling fabric softener on the market. It's a little expensive but it's well worth every penny. The packaging on this is the medium size you can get a big big size that has a nozzle on it I think and I usually always get it with a nozzle on it because I try to use it with my clothes I try not to use stuff like this with my towels but I use it with my clothes and people ask me what kind of body spray or perfume I'm wearing and I tell them it's my fabric softener and they look at me like I'm crazy.

Smells amazing!!

This is one of my favorite softeners for my laundry! Mainly because of the scent, it smells so good and leaves my clothes smelling great for a long time after washing. I only does it smell great but it also leaves my clothes oh so soft. The packaging is beautiful and I love the flower cup top for easy pouring. All in all this is my go to when it comes to soft and fresh clothes!

Great for sensitive skin!

I have very sensitive skin when it comes to laundry detergents. This does not irritate it at all. I love the smell. Very true to its name. The packaging is pretty and the measuring cup being a flower is cute. It does last a long time on the clothes. And the bottle says 83 loads but I dont get that many. I may be using too much in my laundry but oh well.
