Tide 2x Ultra With Downy Liquid Laundry Detergent, Lavender, 3.12 qt

I purchased Tide plus Downy while on vacation in August because I found the 2-in-1 concept appealing as it would mean one less bottle I would have to bring back home. All I can say is WOW! This stuff is truly amazing! It eliminates the need for a fabric softener and a step from the process of doing laundry. My family has pretty sensitive skin and even though Tide plus Downy leaves a light fragrance on our clothes and linens, it doesn't irritate our skin or allergies. I still buy my other detergent for sensitive skin to wash my white laundry in while I use Tide plus Downy for my work clothes and bed linens.

Tide is the favorite at my house. Several years ago, I bought another product on sale and my husband knew immediately. He said his clothes did not smell clean enough. I had to agree that the wash seemed, well, unwashed. I love Tide and Downy and having the two products together is a match made in wash day heaven. I love all of the scents but the traditional April Fresh is my favorite. Even the dirty laundry smells fresh at my house.

I loved the original liquid Tide With a Touch of Downy April Fresh scent. It left a lot of fragrance in the clothes - a fragrance that I really liked. Since being re-formulated with Acti-Lift, the fragrance is not the same. Both the April Fresh and Lavender varieties have an off-odor. You can smell it from the bottle and in the clothes. Clothes do not have the lingering and intense fragrance that they did with the old version. I don't know whether Acti-Lift improves cleaning performance or not, but it sure doesn't improve the fragrance! Am I the only one that has noticed this? I plan to go back to the powder version since I think that has not been re-formulated. P&G insists on fooling around with trusted formulas to maintain product marketing freshness but they ultimately lose a lot of loyal customers.

I Love the Tide with downy Lavender scent but can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know where to get it? With this many people that like it, its hard to believe they would stop selling it. I have looked at every store with no luck. Please Tide get this scent back in my area!!!

the vanilla & lavender was the best. the lavender by itself doesn't smell half as good. when using vanilla & lavender simple pleasures my migraines occurrences slowed down. now with the lavender only my migraines are coming back more often. downy also switched to lavender only and it smells just as bad. please bring simple pleasures back. vanilla & lavender. thank you
