A liquid fabric softening composition comprising an aqueous base, a
cationic fabric softening agent, and an emulsified oil which has a
refractive index at 25.degree. C. of 1.45 or greater in an amount such
that the weight ratio of oil to cationic fabric softening agent is from
1:12 to 1:1, characterised in that the D[4,3] droplet size of the
emulsified oil is from 0.4 to 8 microns.
