The intimate launch of Downy fabric conditioner made me realize women have been using Downy for years. What most surprised me was to find out Downy was not only a fabric softener but also a fragrance: Downy Parfum is a premium line of scents that changes scents as you rub it.
What I find most interesting is the scent on the fabric softener is not over-powering so it is pleasant to the wearer. In fact, during the launch, the variant Passion had been sprayed on to the table napkins, which guests kept smelling as the scent kept changing through time.
Not all women like wearing scents but I know for a fact everyone (men included) don’t like their clothes to smell stale.
Two days ago I got stuck in the office due to a flood. (Yes, the rainy season has come and our clothes won’t be able to dry properly.)
Luckily we were given a bottle of Downy in Passion. After a long, hectic day I still smelled clean.
In addition, that stale smell that clothes bring when they don’t get to dry properly is not a fear anymore.
In fact the minute I got home, I had my helper add two tablespoons of Downy in a glass of water and had her spray the curtains around the house.

1. La Mer Sunscreen—“I have sensitive skin when it comes to sunscreen. For some reason, this does not make me break out. I also like the way it makes my skin feel as soon as I slather it on.”
2. K Palette 24-hour Eyeliner Tattoo—“I love how my eyeliner stays put the entire day when I swipe this on.”
3. L’Oreal Ever Pure Shampoo and Conditioner—“Besides being paraben- and sulfate-free, it has a nice mild scent.”
4. Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil Spray—“The golden-colored oil made my hair smell good all day, absorbed quickly, and added shine and silkiness without weighing it down.”
5. Tom Ford Eyebrow Sculptor—“Expensive but worth it! I love how it gives me a good clean brow and it’s easy to use.”
6. Susanne Kaufman Skin Smoothing Serum—“This was given to me by a friend and I love it! I love how my skin drinks it up.”
7. MAC lipstick—“With what looks like a zillion color range—how can you go wrong? My fave at the moment is MAC’s Feed the Senses for a creamy nude lip color—plus it makes my teeth look whiter!”
8. Hermes—“Quality, quality quality—this is what the brand is all about.”
9. Celine—“Streamlined, clean and modern fashion”
