I came across these today at my local Walmart. I have not tried them yet but they do look interesting. There are two versions, Deep Clean Original and Stain Boost. I got the smaller container seen here for under $5 .....

Amazon has them for sale with a ship date listed as April 6th. Hopefully they toned the scent down. I don't mind the smell of Persil, but the Power Caps always were really strong smelling. | ||

Have found with all Persil Gels/Liquids
Key to controlling scent post wash is to use just enough to get the job done and no more. This plus good and careful rinsing seems to knock out enough of the whiff so one isn't bowled over.
Hate using scented detergent for dress shirts, but so many are coloured these days and nothing else in my stash works as well in warm or cool water besides Persil color gel. For certain linens that one wants washed in cool or warm water, again the "American" Persil works well in terms of overall stain removal and cleaning results; just can do without the powerful ever lasting smell. So again have learned to use smallest amount and rinse well. Happily all Persil liquids/gels from Henkel are very concentrated. About 15ml to 25ml is more than enough for a full 11 pound wash load with our very soft tap water. | ||

What Persil dosing instructions ever call for more than one cap full?
I often put some Rosalie's Zero Suds in with liquids to control the foam they can kick up. | ||

Nope, I ALWAYS overdose when I'm doing whites. And Persil has no tolerance to overdosing. With Tide I can easily use a full scoop (sometimes 1 1/2 scoop) There are minor issues with sudslock but nothing absurd as Persil. | ||

... and I NEVER follow the dosing instructions. Except in front loaders, if the washer doesn't look like a nice bathtub with lots of bubbles that's not good enough for me. The only detergent I use and I don't panic if I don't see that giant suds cake is the Rosalie's Zero Suds. I love that thing! Kevin saw me dosing detergents (and he would have grabbed be by the neck and punched my face) but he was too shocked to have any reaction. | ||

One thing I do to tame the aroma or scent of a detergent is use Borax. Just a small quarter cup will tame the scent so it’s very tolerable. I love the scent of Persil Original Deep Clean liquid anyways but as I said the borax does tame it some. Try it!
The other thing with Persil is that a little goes a long ways. I never use a capful, always just a finger’ s width and under the ring that screws onto the bottle. Anymore and it’s suds for days. The way I dose will rinse clean every time... | ||

Cannot use disks or pod in the AEG Lavamat; darn things just won't dissolve totally (likely due to the puny amount of water used for washing). Thus find bits of plastic or whatever stuck to one's wash when cycle is done. That or product isn't fully dissolved/dispersed until well into a very long cycle.
Suppose if one under loaded the washer things might be better.... | ||

I agree Laundress...Tide pods have issues dissolving. I know in my LG washer they dont seem to dissolve right and I always find part of it in a fold or pocket so i dont use them in that washer. However in the new Electrolux washer I have, it has a compartment just for them in the dispenser drawer. I have to tell the washer that I am using Pods and it will use hot water to get them on their way to being dissolved and flushes them into the outer tub base where the recirculate pump finishes the job before it gets onto the clothes by the jet nozzle. I love this feature and I am sure other manufacturers will follow suit eventually. I do think though these Persil Discs are a tad large but I can get them in there...
