Review on 🌸 Febreze Fabric Refresher with Downy - Refreshing April Scent - 27 oz - Pack of 2 by Sara Hunter

A while back I had a bottle of Febreze cranberry scented fabric freshener. It was sold for the holidays, ostensibly to make any absorbent surface smell like a big family dinner, and wow, it worked. I sat down to watch Netflix and munched on the armrest of the couch absentmindedly. When I ran out of Cranberry Febreze I went out to buy more and it became a rare item and the price reflected its rarity - way, way out of my reach. I loved the feeling of living in an Ocean Spray can, but not for $35. So I bought Downy Scent Febreze because the people in the reviews section (hey people in the reviews section!) said it was a nice, subtle scent that smelled "just like fabric softener." Honestly, I thought I remembered Downey's fabric softener smelling. I haven't had an actual Downey in my life for many years, but a long time ago I had one of those fabric softener balls you throw in the washing machine (remember those?) and I thought I remembered the Downey liquid, in which I poured it. . does it smell like fluffy soft blankets? It seemed like I remembered how it smelled, how the color pale pink would smell if it had a scent. What does a cotton swab smell like when he's getting ready for a date with a cute cotton swab he's recently met and liked? I thought I remembered Downey's TV ad where a teddy bear falls from the sky, lands gently on top of a pile of freshly folded laundry in a laundry basket, and bounces gently once before settling for a high thread count. Leaves. I now realize that this was probably a Snuggle ad, not Downy, but seriously, who can keep these things straight in our modern world. or a dear cotton swab is not what Febreze: Downy Variety Fabric Freshener actually smells like. This spray smells like diapers. Dear Sir (There is a market for this, but it's a very, VERY niche.) No, no, NEW diapers. CLEAN diapers. It actually smells like baby stuff. That slightly antiseptic, slightly plasticky, fake powder smell that makes you look around the moment it hits you for that puking, whimpering maggot man you know must be around somewhere, who— here is something from you. not a parent and in no way affiliated with the children's world or their gear. For example if you are a menopausal woman suffering from the night sweats that accompany this glorious phase of life and have purchased Febreze Fabric Refresher which can be used to wash hormone exposed linens so you may not need to change linens and not yourself feel so rude and unsanitary about this choice. Jumping out of a bottle of Febreze and releasing Eau Du Bebe is a strange experience. Type. Fertility and its lack fight each other in the form of a dense fog. But! Putting the mundane metaphors for the female life cycle aside - since nobody's really asked (what's new, patriarchy?) - here are the key facts I'll leave for you: * Febreze Fabric Freshener is basically a wet spray, but it dries very fast * seems safe on all fabrics * it really eliminates odors * the initial smell it carries disappears completely when the spray dries: * in this particular case, that initial scent is NAPPIES. If you don't mind the ethereal, spooky child in your mist, then I say get Febreze: Downy Variety. OR wait a few months for the holidays and stock up on cranberries. Your furniture has never tasted so good.
