Nicest smelling fabric softners

Looking for suggestions please - I'd like my clothes to smell lovely when I am wearing them - I find many nice scents disappear once clothes are dried. TIA

Hi OP,

I love fabric softeners, in truth I’m a bit obsessed - sad I know!
People have said to me before that my clothes smell nice (I’m not weirdly bragging!). I don’t have any secret other than I always fill up the fabric softener to the max no matter how much washing is in the machine. My favourites are the Comfort and Lenor blue ones often in the very big bottles.
Sometimes I find the scent stays on the clothes for quite a while depending on what type of fabric it is.

I am currently using the blue comfort and don't find it lingers once dry - does smell very nice though on clothes fresh from the machine. I am wearing mainly gym kit so leggings & thshirts and shorts etc. In previous times, I would often open the softner in the shop and have a whiff but find that there is no real correlation between a nice smell in the bottle and a lingering one on dry clothes. Maybe I need to use more. Thanks

I have a weakness for this one which is a ridiculous amount to pay but it smells beautiful

I find the comfort perfume deluxe ones last well too

The lenor gold orchid is my favourite. I miss smelling fabric softeners when I go shopping 🤣

Comfort lavender (purple one) - The smell lingers and is lovely.

I like sainsbury's own make blue one.

HathorX · 09/05/2020 13:01

I like white comfort or lenor.

JoesExotic · 09/05/2020 13:05

This one makes my house smell gorgeous when my clothes are drying and really lingers. I've struggled to find it recently though

Lenor, lavender and camomile. Oh my god. And it pasta for ages !!!

DanceWithYourBalloon · 09/05/2020 13:37

Lenor or Tesco's yellow one. Summer meadow or something or other. I haven't used any others since trying these as they leave a really lovely scent.
I find that using a decent fabric softener and drying clothes as quickly as possible as soon as the washing machine has finished leaves them smelling nice. Especially if mine dried on a lovely day.

heidbuttsupper · 09/05/2020 13:39

Lenor Gold Orchard is lovely and I find the smell stays on clothes. Also makes my house smell lovely too when l've used it

HoyaFlower · 09/05/2020 13:40

I like fairy

Banaltra · 09/05/2020 13:44

Comfort Strawberry is amazing. Smells great and lasts. The Sandalwood one is my favourite but I've run out. It gets commented on all the time. I love the comfort white or Tesco white one also. Smells lovely. The secret is though to make sure you thoroughly dry your clothes before you put them away otherwise they lose that smell or take on a sour one.

Another vote for gold orchid

emcla · 09/05/2020 14:24

Comfort blue in the big bottle

MadamShazam · 09/05/2020 18:15

I love the Comfort ones, especially the yellow, blue or white.

EttasEden · 09/05/2020 18:21

Comfort creations waterlily and lime, someone else has already said it. But wow it smells amazing!
