of course Downy is always a win however I didn't like that I wasn't getting the original Downy quality with this one I appreciate that it has less ingredients that are harsh however it just wasn't the same Downy softener quality

Soft and Fresh
Softest my clothes have been and smells like I got it from the cleaners. No extra smells or smelling cheap. I can put whatever scents I want to put on and the clothes smell doesn’t clash. I feel like I’m wrapped in the Westin’s heavenly bed when I have freshly washed clothes with this softener.

Unscented and works well
I buy a lot of this. It works well and it is unscented. Once you start using unscented you will never want all those scented detergents again.

Downey-Fragrance Free or Not?
The fragrance smells like chemicals, but not too strong. However, the clothes do come out soft after drying.

Nice smell
You can never go wrong with Down Free & Gentle. Due to allergies, I need something that is less fragrant.
