Most of the reviews address the scent, but how is it as a fabric softener?

Not that im a fabric softener guru haha but it does make my kirkland black t shirts nice and soft.. And my sherpa lined carhart jacket,. I prefer this over all ive tried..

How does this scent compare to the original scent they had years ago, the initial formula?

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking so I'll explain it like this. This is the new Lavender scent and is called Calm. If your referring to the original Lavender scent, which was called Lavender Serenity, they are both a mix of lavender and vanilla and the fragrance is very close, if not the same scent. Lavender is very calming and I love it. If you are referring to the original Downy scent they started with years ago, that scent is called April Fresh and is a completely different scent. There are no similarities at all to this one. The April Fresh scent is still available on Amazon. Look for the pink cap. Hope this helps.

Do you use it with washer or dryer?

I put it in the washer along with my detergent but it's liquid and you put it in on the rinse cycle but since my washer locks until it's completely done I have to add it along with the detergent

Great product!

I love how this smells and makes my clothes smell good and feel soft. It works well, your clothes will smell good for a quite a few days. It comes in a pretty good container and they seal it with tape during delivery do it doesn't leak. So easy to open and use. My clothes smell so fresh and clean. I love smelling them when they come out of the dryer!

Excellent Product

I ordered this here because my local store was out of it. I really like this brand and this scent. It gives the clothing a good clean smell, than just the typical "laundry" type smell. It works great and was a good value for the price.

Soft Clothes & Long-Lasting Freshness

I’ve been using Downy Liquid Fabric Softener for a while now, and I honestly don’t think I could go back to doing laundry without it. The scent is amazing—fresh, clean, and it lingers on clothes for days without being overpowering. Whether it’s towels, sheets, or everyday clothing, everything comes out feeling super soft and smelling great.What I love most is how it helps reduce wrinkles and static, making folding and wearing clothes much easier. It pours easily, mixes well in the washer, and a little goes a long way.Highly recommend if you want that extra boost of softness and a fresh scent that makes laundry actually

5 Stars – Soft, Safe, and Pleasantly Fragrant!

I recently purchased the Downy Infusions Laundry Fabric Softener Liquid in the Calm Scent with Lavender & Vanilla Bean, and I’m very impressed with it! It has quickly become a favorite in my laundry routine. Here's my review:Pros:Great Fragrance: The combination of lavender and vanilla bean is absolutely wonderful! It’s a soothing, calming scent that lingers on clothes just the right amount—fresh but not overpowering. It adds a luxurious touch to your laundry, making everything smell so pleasant.Softens Fabrics Perfectly: This fabric softener works really well at making clothes feel soft and comfortable. Towels, sheets, and clothing come out of the wash feeling extra smooth and cozy, which is perfect for cuddling up after laundry day.Safe for Families & Kids: I really appreciate that this product is safe for families with children. The fragrance is gentle and doesn’t irritate sensitive skin, which is a big deal when you have little ones or anyone in the household with skin sensitivities. It’s nice to know it’s a product I can trust to keep our laundry soft without any harmful chemicals.Long-Lasting Freshness: Even after drying, the calming scent stays with the clothes for a long time. It’s perfect for keeping everything smelling fresh, and it doesn't fade quickly, which I love.Affordable & Convenient Pack: The 56 fl oz bottles are a great size, and the pack of two offers a lot of value. It lasts quite a while, even with frequent use, which is great for larger families or anyone who does a lot of laundry.Cons:Not Ideal for Heavy Fragrances: If you're someone who prefers very strong, bold scents, this might not be strong enough for you. The lavender and vanilla bean combination is subtle and soothing, but it’s not overpowering. It works well for me, but others might want a more intense fragrance.Final Thoughts:The Downy Infusions Laundry Fabric Softener Liquid with Calm Scent in lavender and vanilla bean is a fantastic addition to my laundry routine. It provides softness, a wonderful, calming fragrance, and it’s safe for the whole family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle, effective fabric softener that’s also pleasant and comforting to use! It’s a great product for everyday laundry needs.
