Have otherwise always trusts Persil, but when Persil Black gel my laundry was clean, but the smell was far from fresh. Sometimes I thought, "Have you ever done washing in?" With Black Coral I am completely satisfied. Clean spotless linen and especially the matching fresh scent. The price is of course much cheaper than the other OA detergent. To obtain the dark colors I can not say anything because I have used it only a few times.
