Great scent and effective odor shield

I grew up with Downy products so I was eager to try this new product. I am a fan of the April Fresh scent and how easy it is to use this product. My bed linen came out fresh smelling and with no weird residues that sometimes happen with fabric softener. The scent lasted wonderfully on the bed linens. I would purchase and recommend this product to my friends and family.

Smells great, sot and fresh towels!

This is a great product. So easy, just add it to your washer with the clothes. It really eliminates the musty smell the towels get! IT leaves them soft and smelling fresh! Where was this product after camping a few years ago... Anyway, I really love it!!! I was given a free sample in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid in any way and all opinions are my own.

Worth the price!

I love these odor defense beads! My bedding still smells wonderful 1 week after using. Socks still smell fresh at the end of the day. Using them for my washable curtains. Now we just need an odor defense scented Fabreeze as strong as the beads for items we can't wash in a machine.

These smell so good!

The best smelling in-wash scent booster I've used! They're so simple to use too, just toss 'em in and go! Now it's even harder to get out of bed in the morning because my sheets smell so good. (I tested this product for free but all opinions are my own)

This product is AMAZING!

This product is AMAZING! I love the fresh-from-the-wash smell my clothes have after doing laundry and these beads prolong that scent. It's not overpowering and for me it usually lasts more than the 24 hours that it's supposed to. My husband works construction, but even his grimy work clothes smell good for 24 hours! I received this product for free to review, but I would buy it for sure!

The scent is a light fresh smell

I received a sample of this product and wasn't sure that I would like it. But I was pleasantly surprised at how refreshing the smell is when used, it is not overly strong. The product is very easy to use, I threw it in my front loader before adding the bedsheets. I then washed as usual. Even my husband asked what the nice smell was that was coming from the laundry room! The sheets are so soft. Will definitely buy!!

Smells refreshing and comes in great amounts.

I received a free sampler from Influenster for review. All opinions are my own. My family already uses Downy's in-wash odor shield - except in a different scent. This one smells great, as they probably all do. I used the whole package for a load. Fresh laundry for me!

Always smell fresh!

I absolutely love this product! My laundry had a wonderful fragrence even days after it had been folded and put away. It seemed to refresh as I wore my clothes. I was really impressed at how long the fragrence lasted on our bath towels. I had previously had issues with our bath towels losing their freshness very quickly. Well not anymore. I will be buying this item from now on. Disclaimer- I tested my Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.

Great scent!

I normally don't like heavy scents in my laundry and buy the unscented everything, but I got a free sample of Downy Protect Beads and I decided to give it a try. I poured it in with my detergent before adding my clothes and crossed my fingers. In the end my clothes had a nice light scent that still smelled clean and fresh without being overpowering or obnoxious. It's been a few days now and my clothes still smell nice, so I'm happy. And I'm not just saying that because the sample was free.

The smell alone is worth the money .

Influenster so graciously game me free samples of fresh protect. I usually use fabric softener sheets so I was really excited to try something new. I tossed the beads in the wash and anxiously waited to see what would happen . After my clothes were done drying the intoxicating scent of April Fresh filled my nostrils and I held my favorite shirt to my nose and breathed in the amazing scent in deeply . I was overjoyed with the fragrance, so enchanting. I would definitely recommend. I received this product free to test, but my opinions are all mine.
