Sorry, but not even close to Downy.
I'm going to have to disagree with the other reviewers because I compared these to the actual name brand Downy wax cubes and they're not even similar, not AT ALL. They don't smell bad, just not like Downy. More like laundry detergent. I wanted so badly to love these as the real ones are getting more and more difficult to find but unfortunately, they missed the mark with this scent.  It smells more like the "Clean Linen ones" you can get the same amount for at a third of the price at Walmart, that last longer and smell IDENTICAL. Not a good value for the money.
