Oh I love this! The smell is fantastic! I really can't believe I just discovered these. I'm familiar with scent beads and have used other brands in the past but nothing has come close to these. My clothes smell so amazing DAYS after washing. From my past experiences, the scent usually goes away a few hours after washing so this is a huge advantage. I don't think I'll ever go without these again! They will definitely be on my must-haves list from now on! Thanks, Downy for such a great product! I received a free product for the purpose of my review. This is my unbiased and honest review. Opinions are 100% my own.

As someone who is obsessed with things that smell fantastic, I'm definitely obsessed with the Downy Fresh Protect Beads. My clothes and linens smell just as good coming out of the wash as the beads smelled going into to it! I love crawling into bed for days after washing my sheets, and to still smell April Freshness. I will definitely continue to use and buy this product, I just wish that there were more variety of scents to chose from.

Between running, martial arts, and having a toddler our laundry stinks at the end of the day. I tried this product and am hooked! It leaves our clothes feeling soft and smelling fantastic all day. I was a little worried at first but the beads dissolved completely without leaving residue on our clothes. I received a sample for testing purposes but the opinions are my own.

This product was sent to me for testing purposes but all opinions are my own. I've always had downy in my home from when I was little to now so I was excited to try this. When it says odor shield it means it. I washed my dogs blankets and they smell April fresh!

Downy Fresh Protect left a pleasant scent on my clothes, but it was pretty overwhelming at first. It was like a strong perfume for my clothes. There is no way my husband would let me use this on his laundry! I appreciated it for my workout clothes and jeans, though. Those are the clothes that i feel are in need of a little extra freshening. I tested Downy Fresh Protect for free, but all opinions are my own.

I really loved how this made my clothes and bedding smell, it lasted a good amount of time as well, covering those lived in smells. I got this for free but it will be a regular on my shopping list. It was also very easy to use just put it in a load and that's easy, even people not great at this stuff has no problem using it - fool proof.

This stuff smells so good. I can smell it even when it is in the container. When I open the wash to move my laundry to the dryer it kind of hits me in the face. I washed our sheets with this stuff, and they feel and smell wonderful. I am going to start washing my husband's smelly work clothes with this stuff. I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes but all opinions expressed are my own.

I love that these little beads can just be added to your washer for an extra touch of softness and amazing smell! I just used these on my sheets and you could smell it from a few feet away. Super inviting and realxing. Can't wait to sleep in my sheets tonight!

So I was given a sample of downy April fresh in wash odor shield to dry as part of a Vox box! I loved the smell and washed my beach towels in it as it claimed to help shield odor and actually deodorize as well and my towels smelled so bad! It was easy to add to the wash and the towels smelled so good! But the real test was once they were wet at the beach as this is when the stink would usually rear its head! They still smelled awesome! I was truly impressed! I also used a little sachet of them in my underwear drawer as a drawer freshener which I know isn't the intended purpose but man they smell So good and the smells wafts out everytime I open the drawer and hasn't lost any of its potency yet! I just love these little wonder beads!

I tried my samples on our laundry that we brought back from our camping trip. We had swimwear and clothing that we were wearing in the 95+ degrees heat in the trunk of our car. I put them in the beginning of the load and everything came out smelling great. The fresh protest will be great for my husbands work clothes, he works on cars and always smells like motor oil when he get home from work. These would be great for bedding or beach towels as well. I received samples to test for for free from Influenster for my honest and unbiased opinion.
