    Long lasting freshness/fragrance in fabric softeners generally comes from encapsulated fragrances.
    We did some trials with CPL Aromas Aromacore fragrances a few years ago which worked really well. We decided not to go ahead with the project because our test group didn’t really like the fragrance remaining on the fabric.

    Hi @Jkambi, @ozgirl is right. In fabric softeners, you usually add both a free oil fragrance (for instant blooming), and an encapsulated fragrance (for long lasting scent).
