"Love the smell of my clothing laundered with Fresh Take - even received compliment from someone regarding how good I smelled! Will it be offered in a larger size? I currently use it only for nicer clothing & use the Signature Classic, which I purchase in the gallon size, for more everyday casual clothing."
"Absolutely love this product! The scent is absolutely amazing—fresh, luxurious, and long-lasting. What impressed me most is how the fragrance lingers for days, leaving everything smelling incredible well after use. A little goes a long way, and I would definitely purchase it again!"
"I do not like the smell wish I would've known before I purchased this item. I would prefer a floral smell."
"My favorite fragrance that I save for my delicates and linens."
"My clothes were very clean, but I don't like the waxy film the detergent left behind. My absorbent towels became non-absorbent from this film. The fragrance is pleasant but is very weak."
"My favorite fragance, have to have this."
"This is my favorite Laundress scent. It makes my whole laundry room smell fresh."
"I was disappointed that this didn’t smell fresh. It reminded me of my grandfather’s Old Spice aftershave. Very disappointing as to fragrance but I was happy with the thicker consistency that was like the old original Classic detergent. I dislike the watery viscosity it has now. Just want the Classic back in original consistency with a a more pronounced hit of that original classic scent."
"Had a sample of this detergent a long time ago and loved how it made my clothes smell. So fresh and spring which last a long time. Definity a keeper."
"Love it! The aroma, the feel my clothing has after each wash"
