I saw some in a grocery store this week (Food City) and took the cap off for a whiff. It did not seem strong, and was about the same as the Tide linen scent made a few years ago, as best as I can recall. I know some people liked that a lot.
What do people think of the new Persil available in USA?

Just did a search online
Apparently "linen fresh" is still in the Persil line-up, but again one hasn't seen it on offer any where locally.
Indeed compared to other laundry detergents, especially the vast and bewildering array offered by P&G, Persil's offerings/shelf space seems rather puny in comparison.
Popped into K-sears on Astor Place last night on a whim (happened to be in the area), and the selection of Persil was rather grim. Just two barely quarter end shelves and only two versions of the new "Power 10" or whatever. Even then one shelf was given over to the larger sized bottles. It is the same at every local shop one visits and glances down the detergent aisle.
If this is the best Henkel/Dial can do they are going to have to pull their socks up if they entertain any hope of taking on P&G/Tide. I mean anywhere you go there are shelves and shelves of P&G detergents, filled alone with countless variants of Tide.

Too sudsy 4 me...
I have tried the American Pwrsil offering and frankly, it's just too sudsy. Micro dosing liquid detergent is not my thing. I want a detergent that does its job without creating a drama soufflé.
That being said, I think Persil has about the best packaging for a liquid detergent I have every seen. A virtually clear jug with removable spout so you can get every last drop? Yes, please! The removable spout was something a really liked about Wisk.
I like the Tide Turbo HE liquid, an excellent performer, but hate the packaging.

The last bottle I bought (regular Fresh Scent) didn't have the suds issues I've seen before. Though I've only used the 2-in-1 so maybe it's different.
I just finished a bottle of Member's Mark regular detergent and for the price it's a great deal! Works well...but not as good as Persil. I absolutely love the Fresh Scent so I ordered the big 150oz bottle for my next detergent. LOL. I think it's become my favorite. Cleans excellent.

Agree the key is dosage
And JMO but you need very little Persil in a FL. The American versions of Persil are very concentrated and noticeably thicker than the German liquids. I suspect the American versions are formulated with old school top loaders in mind. I need much less American Persil than German, and a smaller dose with the Original formula than with 2-in-1. Just my experience. Laundry seems to be highly subjective.
The American Persil pods are dosed too heavy for me, and oversuds or come very close to it. Maybe they'd be ok for people who wear their clothes multiple times until they're very soiled and then pack their machine really full.
Persil really grew on me after I got the dosage right. Nothing gets whites whiter than the Power Pearls.
I don't think the scent is strong at all once you figure out the proper dose.
It does not look like Persil is catching on. I suppose Americans generally like cheap detergents and they do not have a "taste" for Persil's scents, which are more sophisticated than Americans are used to. And I guess those loyal to Tide are generally wary of taking a gamble on a different brand as expensive as Tide?

I have to agree that at least part of the problem is in the "different" type of scents. Most people like the stronger sweeter Gain or the fruity Tide or the fresh Arm & Hammer. Persil is kind of in its own category.
I think the real issue is that people don't think twice about doing laundry. Most just grab their go-to bottle off the shelf and then go about their business. Persil cleans VERY well, but I don't think enough people know or care about that enough to start buying it, especially when Tide is so common. I bet their market share will pick up given enough time.

I like it, both the perls and liquids. I bought 4 bottles of Perls recently from Target online, two of each scent.
Persil literally JUST got here.
And as said earlier, people either don't care or are very steeped in their detergent habits keeping it easy for what they know works.
Persil will have to be patient and wait for people to discover them. Often by word of mouth.
Just like Method.
NOW people are starting to consider them on a small scale. But I've been using Method since 2007!
Persil will need to wait and be persistent for a least a few years.

Persil intense fresh
I just bought Persil intense fresh discs and I'm going to try them on my laundry, in addition to Snuggle blue sparkle.

persil with snuggle
I love the intense fresh smell of the Persil discs. I complement it with Snuggle blue sparkle. Of course, it gets my laundry very clean. I liken it to the Finish detergent and rinse aid of the laundry world.

I used the Persil Deep Clean Intense Fresh liquid before. The first jug I had was excellent. But when I later bought the second one, I had a problem. The detergent would almost always have excessive foam except for whenever I'd be washing dark clothes. It's not from using too much detergent and the jug did say it was safe to use in HE washers. I know I had a similar experience with Tide Mountain Spring liquid where the last jug I had also created some excessive foam but I later discovered it was the non HE detergent kind. So the next time I buy that Persil detergent and if it causes excessive foam again, I won't be using that detergent again for my front loader. I'm already disappointed with Henkel as they just recently discontinued a detergent that I really liked from All.
