Market for fabric softeners in USA has declined over past few decades. Younger generations either can't be bothered, and or don't exactly know what is the purpose.
OTOH those who like FS tend to prefer strong scents that last, in particular long after drying. Then you also have the strong influence of Latino/Hispanic population that is rising in USA. For some reason that demographic tends often to favor highly scented laundry products. | ||

@angus NuSoft!!! I completely forgot about that! Interesting that you’d bring up IGA; our local one used to carry both the liquid and dryer sheets, but no more. Thanks for the tip that I can order it online; I may very well do that! | ||

Tom are you sure those tariffs had something to do with Convid?
I think it is the trade war your former president started with everyone in the world to blame for. The damage was huge and things are still far away from normal these days. I still remember when yellow Lenor came out in the late 1980s. It was a very sweet and floral scent and it immediately became my favorite FS as I never really liked the blue chypre scented ones. I`m sure there is or was a Downy version of it too, so this might be considered P&G`s first floral scented FS. | ||

Yes, I agree with the Latino's and the WAY TOO MUCH perfume thing.
If in the grocery store, in line, or simply shopping and they are nearby....OH OH my GAWD. I get away quick and make a purposeful gesture to indicate they SMELL. It seems like it's mainly the older generation. I wonder if it's their version of self hatred. Do they feel they are so stinky that.....

Sorry if I misinterpreted your post!
You said " Funny how those tariffs that doubled prices for many imports at the start of COVID, if I remember correctly, have not been removed as the plague-induced-panic has lessened" "Have not been removed as the plague-induced-panic has lessened" led me to believe you put the blame on Convid. Again sorry for that! I know I`m not a native English speaker so I might not always be 100% clear on what I mean and I sometimes miss a point when reading a post. Anyway I`m glad it doesn`t seem to affect communication with the majority of AW members. BTW I would have said "I don`t like to berate those whose first language is not English" Is this wrong again? | ||

In many lands that use a lot of fragrances they do it because bathing water, soap and facilities are more trouble and expense than slapping on some more perfume for the coming day. We are mostly blessed to have better bathing facilities than many in the world. | ||

I know I'm kind of late to the party, but I'll offer my two cents. (If it's worth that much)
I still use fabric softener. I'm no spring chicken, so it may be out of tradition or something. But, probably also out of tradition, I still use the brands that I grew up with. I keep on hand, a bottle of April Fresh Downy, and one of Spring Fresh Final Touch. I don't know how I started doing this, but I use the Downy on my whites, and Final Touch on everything else. Maybe I somehow like my socks and "unmentionables" to smell like candy! LOL I do find that the Final Touch leaves a much lighter scent on things; especially after going through the dryer. So, if you're looking for a lighter scent, maybe try Final Touch. Barry | ||

laundry detergent and fabric softener I always use laundry detergent and fabric softener with smell. I want them looking and feeling fresh in addition to the smell. | ||

Jerome, of course go right on ahead with it if highly-scented laundry is what you want. Hundreds of millions of consumer like it, else the products wouldn't exist. However, don't kid yourself ... perfumed products cover the natural scent/odor of the fabric. Fabric that is 100% clean and natural doesn't have the scent of laundry detergent and softener. | ||
