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

This smell is a new favorite, so calming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who knew that you could have soft towels that also bring you a little calmness ? The subtle but gentle smell of this lasts for several days on towels and on blankets even longer. You don't need to use a lot, so the bottle will last longer than expected (and it's a large bottle). No residue or sensitivity issues. I've noticed after using it several times that my blankets are softer and feel better against my skin. I don't use this on wash cloths because they go on my face and eyes; but I like it on towels, sheets and throw blankets. Though I've used downy most of my life, this scent is new to me and I love it!

Smells so good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy has been a staple in my house for as long as I can remember, especially this scent. I used it recently to wash my couch cushions and now my boys keep saying that the couch smelly amazing and keep trying to sleep on it. I love that no matter how much I use it I can still smell it everytime I do any of my clothes or bedding. We will definitely keep purchasing this!

Soft, fresh laundry without the heavy residue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this fabric softener thhus far. The first thing I noticed is that it's much lighter and consistency then other fabric softeners i've used in the past which I actually prefer because it dissolved easily and didn't leave any residue behind. As far as the fragrance is concerned , the lavender and vanilla bean scent is fresh, soft and not overpowering which is a pleasant surprise since i'm usually sensitive to strong fragrances.

Definitely a trusted brand and I like this new product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say I really like this fabric softener. It doesn't irritate my skin. The smell is nice and not overpowering like most can be doesn't leave a buildup residue on the clothing which some can win. They're too heavy… definitely a really big bottle that I was not expecting, which is awesome. I do like the depth and how the lid holds the product. There's no spilling anywhere.. and my clothes are definitely nice and fresh. They have a nice calming sent to it which is one thing I love about lavender I have to give this five stars. I mean it's a really nice fabric softener. I've used it now on the past five loads of laundry and it's not disappointing at all.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im big on scents. I love it when something smells good and downy never steers you wrong. I actually have the same dryer sheets with this fabric softener which intensify the warm nice smell. This fabric softener makes my clothes smell so good and feel cozy. This always a staple in my home. I received this product complimentary from Influenster and Downy.

Smells nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging makes it easy to grab, and store. The texture is a thick liquid and it's easy to pour. The scent is sweet not lavender vanilla bean but it is gourmand, it lingers in my clothes after drying. It leaves my blankets soft.

Long lasting freshness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent is soft, relaxing and not overpowering. My clothes come out feeling incredibly soft, and the fragrance stays noticeable even after wearing them throughout the day. I also think it's a great value for the quality and performance you get. The packaging is sturdy, easy to pour and cap makes measuring simple without creating a mess.

Love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this fabric softener! We have a full house with dogs, a cat, teenagers, and toddlers, so it's nice to have something that can tackle the day-to-day odors of everyday life and make our clothes extra soft. It doesn't feel like a residue compared to others; it's truly just a softener that absorbs nicely into fabric and gets rid of odors.

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.
