I had just finished swimming in the pool at my friend's upscale apartment, feeling like nothing could top the experience, until I was handed the softest, freshest towel I had ever felt. It wasn’t overly floral or sweet but smelled just perfectly clean and fresh. I instantly had to know the secret behind it.

When we went back inside, my friend eagerly shared his laundry routine. He pulled out a large plastic container filled with white and blue powder, and with a grin said, “It’s from Germany. I buy it in bulk on Amazon.”
He was referring to Persil, a German laundry detergent that made its way to the U.S. in 2015. But as I discovered on my next visit to Target, the American version of the liquid detergent doesn’t quite compare to the German powder. While the American liquid works well to remove tough stains and keep clothes fresh for weeks — Reddit users rave about how effective it is at cleaning clothes — the delightful fresh scent is much more faint in the U.S. version, barely sticking around after drying.
If you want the full experience — the captivating, head-turning scent that makes you want to bury your face in your clothes like you’re in a commercial — you’ll need to get the powdered German version, which, as my friend mentioned, you can easily find on Amazon.
With numerous sellers offering varying sizes and options, this international Amazon product is highly praised by customers, particularly those from Germany. The fragrance is delightful, and the laundry detergent proves to be exceptionally effective. Although it may not be the most affordable option, many customers have shared their glowing reviews, claiming they would never choose another detergent after using this one.
Indulge in the refreshing, long-lasting scent that will stay on your clothes and linens for days. Enjoy the benefit of soft, clean clothes with no compromise on freshness.
Buy some German Persil powder, and you’ll never want to use anything else.
