Not as good as it used to be. Thought I was ordering the German version since that's what was pictured, but ended up with the USA version. The difference in ingredients is noticeable.What happened to Persil? So far I can not claim that it does not wash well, but the smell -what happened to the old really nice smelling Persil, that would infuse the whole closet and hallway when opened. This LAST Persil (I am buying every 6 months or so), smells bad, like a cheap version of Tide. Really disappointed. I did not have any particular stains, or was washing anything super dirty, so I can not judge the quality of washing, but the clothes smell bad. I might switch to Ariel.This is the best clothes soap I've ever used. A very small amount din any water temperature not only cleans my fabrics better than any other commercial product I have used, it also smells wonderful. It is really disappointing that we cannot buy this product in grocery stores here in the US.It doesn't work as well as the Persil I've purchased in the past.I LOVE this detergent. I have Miele washing machine and it comes recommended by the manufacturer. My clothes are very clean and it has a very lite smell, which I prefer. I don't want to smell detergent over the smell of my perfume.Persil is a reliable product. Highly recommended for machine use. We've used the product for more than twenty two years.The best laundry detergent ever! I love the smell too.I use this on all my laundry and it works GREAT I love it!!!!!
