Smells great!

I love the way this makes my clothes smell- nice and fresh all day, but not overpowering at all. I can't wait to try it out with my workout clothes next. Full disclosure: I tested this product for free, but my opinion is my own, and I would definitely recommend it!

Smells amazing!

I've always loved the scent beads but I think this one takes the cake! First of all, the scent is amazing but also not too crazily overpowering. Second of all, the scent literally lasts all day. I love it when I'm at work and I get whiffs of the scent here and there as I'm moving around. I tested the Downy Fresh Protect for free BUT all opinions are my own. I'll definitely be purchasing it!

Great in theory but left me unimpressed

To be fair, I have never needed more than some deodorant for my armpits. I can go through my day without smelling badly, so this product was pretty unnecessary for me. I didn't notice any major difference in the way my clothes smelled at the end of the day. If there was a difference it was slight. The beads smell great going into the washer and my clothes coming out smelling great out of the dryer, as usual. That said, I wasn't impressed and likely won't go out and buy these in the future. I'll save my money. Fair warning, I received this product for free, from Influenster. That said, my opinion is all my own.

This product is amazing!

This new product of Downy is such an amazing product! I only heard about this and I'm really glad I was one of the lucky people who were chosen to test this for free. I was really surprised that the fresh fragrant lasted long than I expected and my clothes do not need ironing. I also don't need to use perfume or cologne because my clothes alone are smell so good! Disclaimer: I received this product for free from Influenster complimentary for testing purposes.

Simple and Fresh!

This product makes my clothing smell great and its easy to use, plus it lasts longer than others. It didn't make my VERY sensitive skin have any issues so that also gave a plus. The only draw back is that sometimes the pearls didn't completely dissolve so it felt like it was wasted.

Perfect!

I used this product as soon as I saw it. After all, there is always laundry to do and I was eager to try it. This product was easy to use and smelled amaaazinggg. It left my clothes smelling great and super soft. Even after time in the dryer, the clothes still smelled wonderful. I tested this Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

They smell Ah-Mazing!

I struggle to put these in with my laundry because I enjoy smelling them as they are but they make my laundry smell so FRESH and clean! I just love them! I can't begin to describe the looks that I get at work as I sit at my desk smelling my fresh laundry! I do have to admit that I got these products for free in exchange for my review but I will be heading to the store to purchase these!

Takes the smell right out of gross laundry!

First off, I love the smell of April Fresh. It's floral without being too flowery and clean. These scent pearls were easy to add to my laundry and I could really smell them while my rinse/drain cycle ran. I was a bit concerned that the pearls wouldn't dissolve completely and that I may find pieces of them, but that wasn't an issue. After going through the dryer, the scent had diminished more but was still noticeable. I received this product free for my honest review from Influenster.

Easy to use, fresh scent

I've tried several in-wash scent boosters at this point, and one advantage of the Downy version is that the little beads get dispersed through the load of laundry so ALL of the clothes get the scent. I think it's pretty common knowledge by now, but they do look like candy and my 2-year old looked at the package and said, "Yummy!" so definitely be careful about where you store them. I had to use scissors to open the package so I don't think she could have gotten into them anyway. The product definitely does what it says and since I've had problems with clothes smelling weird coming out of the washer I will definitely keep using these. I received my sample of this product free to test from Influenster.

Wonderful smell!!!

I super loved my Downy Fresh Protect. It gave my clothes an added fresh scent that wasn't overpowering. I look forward to seeing how that freshness smells holds up to my workout routine. :-) I received my sample and tested my Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but the above opinions are my own! :-)
