    Be careful when you order from Target. Their delivery drivers steal the items they could use. All caught on camera.

    Clean and fresh scent!

    This is so nostalgic. The scent is still clean and refreshing as I remember it. You can decide how strong you want by how much you put in the washer. You can count on it dissolving unlike the generic brands. Also, we don’t get any skin or allergic reactions. Overall, a great quality!

    This smells so good like a spring morning I love it

    It smells so good it smells like freshness, but it’s not overwhelming perfume smell which gives me a headache, but this is just perfect and it lasts for like I can grab sheets out of my closet three months after washing them and they still smell April fresh I parrot with the dryer sheets and the liquid liquid softener, and then the spring fresh tide and all the layers beautifully with just the right amount I scent! At two little, not too much! Always getting compliments like you smell great what perfume are you wearing and I always have to say none. That’s Downey April fresh!
