I have used Downy in the past and LOVED it and then these scent beads came out and while I have used some before (different company) I was not too impressed. These make the clothes smell nice fresh from the wash and again from the dryer and they still smell like that even folded in the dresser drawer or hung in the closet for about a week maybe longer. you could even smell it when the kids came home from school and gave you the first hug that afternoon. these are also good for if you have a wax warmer add a few in the bowl and let them melt for a last minute freshness of the house such as for unexpected guests. I was given free samples from Influenster and agreed to review the samples on this site but even if I did not get them free I would have the same review! I depend on reviews when I am making decisions on new products and if i should buy them for my family or not.

I workout a lot and trust downy to handle the smell on my clothes. Knowing that is is normal to have a strong sweaty smell after we workout and its gone and my clothes smells amazing after i wash my clothes with downys fresh protect odor shield. I recommend this product and the odor protection and frgrance lasts for a long time. I got to try this product out for free and loved it and i definitely recommend it for that active person or a person who sweats more than normal! This is the product for you!

I swear these downy beads are the BEST thing that has happened to laundry! I love that even on the days I forget to spritz perfume I smell fabulous... And it keeps my clothes smelling fresh with the Febreeze Odor Defense! So easy to use too. My favorite is the April Fresh Scent!

I received this product complimenty to test out and review! First off the smell is of these beads are amazing, I decided to wash my sheets and use this downy product to freshen them up, they are easy to use and even after 2 weeks I can still smell them on my sheets. These are awesome I would highly recommend them.

These are now a must in my laundry room. They make everything smell so fresh without being overwhelming. To be honest, I couldn't see the need for this product until I tried it but now can't live without it. Please note: I got a free sample of this product, but my opinions are my own.

I love this fragranced-packed little laundry balls! I got a few samples and HONESTLY thought there was no way such a small amount would pack some serious smell-good power. Alas, I was wrong! I went and purchased more before even finishing up my samples. These add a nice fragrant boost to your laundry. Although the scent lasts, it's not overpowering or headache inducing. Ease of use is obvious - you just toss 'em in with your laundry. They don't leave any kind of film, even on dark clothes. I don't wear perfume so the scent these provide is enough for passersby to ask what I'm wearing! I was fortunate enough to get to try the Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions here are my own.

I am in love with this product. I tried this product and it works extremely well. It smells fantastic, like fresh air on a spring day. It has become my favorite scent for laundry. I received this as a free sample testing product from Influenster, but all opinions are my own.

I was able to try these heavenly beads for free in exchange for an honest review. I just love how they smell. The scent lasts too. My clothes smell fresh even after being in the hamper for a few days after using these beads. There is nothing worse than having unfresh laundry. This is a great way to smell good for a hug at the end of a long day when your perfume and shower smell are gone. My only concern is what they are doing to my washing machine so I only used a little. But a little worked!!

This fresh protect is so cool. Really love the smell of my towels now and that there is no residue after the washing process. The dryer really brings out the softness and fresh scent. I was so excited to try the Downy Fresh Protect Beads when I received them. I got the product for free, but please note all opinions are my own.

I love the way this smells. The scent is very fresh and isn't too overpowering but you can definitely smell it. The scent lasts for a long time. My laundry also came out feeling softer after using this product. I was sent this product to test out but my opinion is all mine.
