I will have to go look at our WalMart. Looks like P&G are going after the Purex Crystals for the in wash. I see it is just for scent not like the softner/scent like the Purex. The Purex to me in all flavors is way too strong.
What do you think of the scent on this?

I checked them out at Target, but didn't buy them. They smelled nice, but seem like an unneeded item for me. They make no softening claims, unlike the Purex Crystals, which do soften but don't control static.
I don't understand the marketing strategy. If someone likes scented laundry, wouldn't they buy scented detergent and/or softeners already? Since the scents of the unstoppables don't match existing Tide or Downy scents, it is not to boost an existing scent. It seems one would need to use unscented products, then add this so as to not mix scents... but I thought most people who bought the unscented products do so because they don't want scents, due to allergies or other reasons.
I guess the most logical reason to get it would be if someone in your family liked scented laundry, and another requires the unscented stuff, then you can buy one detergent and just add scent when desired. Or maybe so people can be their own scent alchemists. Tide Clean Breeze detergent, Downy Orchid Allure softener, with Downy Unstopables Lush in-wash scent booster: I am getting a little scared!

I belong to the Downy page on Facebook and they did a giveaway of this stuff. I got a sample but have not received it yet in the mail. I figured I would try it on their dime and if I don't like it ,it didn't cost me anything.

One Question....
...I know that all these scents are flooding the marketplace, but what is wrong with just the smell of clean fabric, preferably dried outdoors on a breezy day?

I never have and never will use any brand of fabric softener that either goes in a dryer or may be used during any wash cycle. The detergents like Bold that have it already in the mix have and will create a build up in the outer tub rim and the agitator shaft.It has and will leave a residue on clothes that looks like tar.Yuk!
I agree, what's the point of all these stinky stuff!? I have given up on this scented things, and I enjoy the clean smell clothes off the clothes line! My neighbor are gone this week, and I went in the house.. I about fell over when I walked in! They got this scented plug in thing, god it smells!
Well I tried it and the scent is not that strong and it would be nice to use only on guest towels!
Other than that, nothing to jump and shout about!
