When did P&G fabric softeners....

laundry detergent and fabric softener

I always use laundry detergent and fabric softener with smell. I want them looking and feeling fresh in addition to the smell.

Jerome, of course go right on ahead with it if highly-scented laundry is what you want.  Hundreds of millions of consumer like it, else the products wouldn't exist.  However, don't kid yourself ... perfumed products cover the natural scent/odor of the fabric.  Fabric that is 100% clean and natural doesn't have the scent of laundry detergent and softener.

Run with that theory Jerome

More is best

In Israel at the home my late-in-laws last lived at there was a really neat fragrance from the cleaning solutions it used that I wish Imcould have bottled up and bring home, maybe it would have smelled good in my clothes, maybe not, but it was a neat scent!

I've become a huge fan of Member's Mark Spring Flowers fabric softener from Sam's Club. It smells similar to one of the older versions of April Fresh Downy (packaging colors are even similar) with a light slightly sweet floral scent. It softens nicely without feeling heavy or greasy, and the club size dispenser bottle is only about $9.
I also get All advanced detergent from Sam's club, which has a clean fresh scent and cleans great, and Member's Mark Dryer sheets which smell extremely strong in the box, but actually have a very light pleasant scent in the laundry. The 3 products used together do an excellent job cleaning and softening and the large sizes can last us a couple months.

We use the blue Great Value that's made by Sun for Walmart.  Works well, cheaper than Downy and doesn't smell bad.  Suavitel blue or yellow for our whites works too...blends well with the faint Clorox smell...which I actually like.  Smells like clean!
