Downy, also known as Lenor in Europe, Russia and Japan, is a brand of fabric softener produced by Procter & Gamble that was introduced in 1960.
Lenor is a brand name of fabric softener and dryer sheets, also produced by Procter & Gamble, sold in Europe, Russia and Japan. Lenor fabric softener had entered China in 2007[1] but was subsequently discontinued.[2] Scent beads under the brand Downy have been sold in China since Dec. 2017.[3] Plans to rebrand Lenor as Downy in the UK were dropped in 2002.[4]
For the company's national and international experience in sustainable development, and eco-friendly products, the Environment Possibility Award conferred the "Environmental Heroes of the Year" to Downy in 2020.[5]
Amy Sedaris and Tituss Burgess are the talents hired to promote the Downy/Lenor Unstopables In-Wash Scent Boosters range in both the US and the UK. The commercials were filmed by Grey Advertising.
