From a washing I expect a good cleaning power and a pleasant scent. Mainly I use Persil Megaperls. The cleaning power and the smell are very good at Megaperls. The Duo-Caps I acquired in a flash range. The washing power is okay. The smell of Persil Universal Duo-Caps is (my feeling) unpleasant, pungent sweet ... almost like jelly beans. So not fruity or fresh - it's hard to describe. If the laundry is then dried, the smell has fortunately dissipated to about 90%. I'm going to buy this duo Caps Never again and stay with Persil Megaperls. The product I rate due to this extremely pungent, sweet scent that I find extremely uncomfortable, with two stars. Before I try a new detergent, I'll make a sample previously wash it.
