Unilever beats P&G hands down on scent!
I think the fact that Unilever has a vast personal care and perfumes arm to draw upon gives them an edge over P&G. They really know how to make a product smell nice.
Their detergents all smell really nice, not at all chemically or overpoweringly floral and given that I really don't find Ariel or Persil clean any differently, they both do an outstanding job, I would tend to select my product entirely based on smell, so Persil wins hands down for me every time.
I would confidently expect either product to pretty much cope with any stain or soil level thrown at them.
Perhaps Ariel's smell is liked by a lot of other people, I just find that I'd rather have a light pleasant smell on my clothes. I would actually describe persil s&m smell as very like a slightly citrus biased shampoo, or even a modern very light refreshing cologne or perfume. It doesn't have that cleaning product smell that the P&G counterpart, Ariel, has.
Persil powder is like a much milder version of the same scent. It's quite pleasant and your clothes tumble dry and come out with a nice smell of very slightly scented clean linen, not an overpowering perfume.
Bold is nice, but it would blow your head off with the scent.
and Surf now has essential oils, they smell great!
