“Downey April Fresh New Scent”,
January 9, 2011
The new Downey April Fresh Scent is horrible. I bought a 120-load bottle without knowing the scent had changed. I used it once and my clothes smelled so bad I had to throw the almost-full bottle away. P&G should bring back the old scent. Until it does, I'll find a non-P&G brand of softener to use.
I wanted to give an overall rating of no stars, but I couldn't post this review if I didn't give it at least one star. I would have given it no stars...

“Bring Back original Downy”,
January 8, 2011
After using your product for 30 years with great satisfaction you've decided to change the sent and I can not longer stand the smell of this product. The new product has a fruity smell and is offensive. Some of your suggestions have been to use an unsented product. The problem is I bought this product for that sent and now it's gone. I can't believe that you released this product without cosulting the consumers that use the product. Maybe lost sales will create April fresh Classic.

“Unhappy with change in April Fresh scent”,
January 8, 2011
I have always used and loved Downey's April Fresh scent. I purchased my first new Ultra Downey April Fresh Liquid, only to be disappointed by the change in scent. In the past, I have tried other fabric softeners, only to go back to Downey April Fresh. Please change the scent back! It is "too fragrant", and has less of a natural scent now. I realize that the new scent is meant to last longer, but it's just not the same.

“Downy April Fresh Liquid with Scent Pearls”,
January 8, 2011
Love the old formula
, Northboro, MA
I agree with Anonymous.
Your original April Fresh scent was wonderful! It needed no upgrading. I would receive comments on how nice my clothes smelled. The scent pearl formula does not smell anywhere near as good as the old formula and has a secondary scent that is unpleasant. I have used Downy April Fresh Liquid Softener for almost 30 years and I am now actually going to look for a different brand, that is how unhappy I am with the new formula. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring back the old formula.
