Brand history
Lenor is a brand name of fabric softener and dryer sheets, also produced by P&G, 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 December 2017.[3] Plans to rebrand Lenor as Downy in the UK were dropped in 2002.[4]
