"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."
"So glad I purchased Fresh Take detergent! It is unlike any other detergent I've tried and the scent is AWESOME. I use it with an unscented fabric softener, and hang my laundry outside on the line. When I bring it back inside, the house smells wonderful. Once you open the bottle you'll be uplifted by the fragrance. It's not too strong, and just a small amount is all you need. Clothes come out great and stain-free. Will be reordering this one for sure!"
"The citrus scent is so nice. My favorite scent so far. Cleans well and leaves a soft citrus scent."
"Another favorite of mine. Love the way it performs and smells."
"As before, awesome send makes you wanna come back for a second round of laundry load and the performance it’s very good"
"I have been using and loving Laundress detergents & products for years. But the "Fresh Take" goes to a whole new level. It's clean and fresh, brightens everything I use it on and the smell of my laundry is nothing short of AMAZING. You must try this one to believe it! I highly recommend this formula."
"I purchase this detergent to try the new scent. It is a nice fragrance and worked great on some throw blankets. It is not overpowering at all."
"This will make my 4th or 5th bottle. Love it! My only negative is that the small sample bottles has a stronger or lasting scent than the big bottles."
"Repeat purchase. Lovely scent."
"Made my whole house smell like a Spring garden the entire day. It also lingered on my laundry for days, in a good way. Not overpowering at all."
