Not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a big bottle, which gives you a lot of bang for your buck. And while it does leave my clothes nice and soft, I find the scent overwhelming. It gives grandma's perfume vibes, and that's just not my vibe. I even changed laundry detergent to an unscented one trying to tame the smell. No such luck. It's overbearing and it even overpowers my perfume. It does not matter which perfume. This softener is all you can smell

Great relaxing scent and leaves clothes very soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this fabric softener. The lavender and vanilla scent is very pleasant and not too overpowering. It leaves my clothes feeling soft, static-free, and smelling fresh for days. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a good amount of time.

Calming and Leaves Fabrics Soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the new Downy Calm fabric softener in Lavender & Vanilla for both my everyday laundry and larger loads like my favorite comfy blankets, and it has completely elevated the way my clothes and linens feel and smell. The scent is genuinely calming and not overpowering or artificial. It has a soft blend of lavender with a warm vanilla undertone that lingers in the best way. Even days after washing and drying, my clothes and bedding still carry that fresh, soothing aroma, which makes getting into bed feel extra relaxing. What also stood out to me is the packaging. The bottle itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, with a clean, modern shape and meticulous detailing even on the cap. It feels premium and intentional rather than just functional. The pour is smooth and controlled (no splashes) and it dispenses seamlessly straight into the washing machine. Oh and storage is just as easy; the shape fits neatly on my laundry shelf without taking up unnecessary space. Overall, it's one of those small upgrades that makes laundry feel a little more elevated, calming, and enjoyable.

Downy calm is my go to for calm softness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My gramma used downy and so do I! I've also taught my son to always use downy in the rinse of all clothes for the softness that smells amazing so of course the downy calm is now what I always use for bedding and pajamas for that beautiful scent that calms the senses. There's never any residue and this bottle is huge!

Leaves clothes soft and smelling fresh for days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Downy Infusions Calm Scent Fabric Softener for a few weeks now, and I'm really happy with the results. The scent is fresh and relaxing without being too strong, and it leaves my clothes feeling noticeably softer after every wash. The liquid has a smooth consistency and mixes well during wash cycle. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts longer than I expected. One thing I love is that the fragrance stays on my clothes, towels and bedding for several days after washing. The instructions are simple and easy to follow-just add the recommended amount to the fabric softener dispenser, and you're good to go. Overall, the quality is excellent, and it does exactly what I expect from a fabric softener. I would definitely purchase this scent again and recommend it to anyone looking for softer fabrics and long-lasting freshness.

Smells relaxing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy liquid fabric softner was easy to use and the scent was perfect. I can describe this scent as cozy and relaxing since it has vanilla and lavender. The consistency is a bit watery and looks like milk, but it does the job. Your clothes will smell amazing and the scent lingers. Definitely recommend Downy Calm scent and will be buying this product in store.

Cozy fresh scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Downey Calm fabric softener, and I really like it. The lavender and vanilla bean scent is soft, clean, and relaxing without overpowering. My laundry comes out feeling noticeably softer and the fragrance last for days. If you like a cozy fresh scent that isn't too strong, this is definitely worth trying..

A fan for over 10 years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy calm scent has been a go to of mine for years. I use it on my sheets because the scent really does relax me. The scent is my biggest incentive to use this product. However, it does also make my sheets incredibly soft and comfortable.

Smells amazing!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and Downy in exchange for my honest review. I really enjoyed the scent of this fabric softener. It's soft, comforting, and pleasant. I used it on my blankets, and when they came out of the dryer, they were so fluffy and soft that they felt brand new. The scent has lasted quite a while, too. Throughout the day, I can definitely smell the lovely fragrance. Even after the gym or a long day at work, I can still smell it on my clothes. I feel like the scent will last a long time, even while clothes are stored in the closet. I think it would be great for washing and storing seasonal clothing because the scent would likely remain fresh and pleasant. The bottle looks fancy as well.
