Works great, smells great, too strong for me!

On its own I think its a great scent but with that said I also think it deposits too much fragrance on my clothes for my liking. It did exactly what the packaging claims it will, keeps you smelling fresh all day. If you love heavy fabric softeners then you will really like using this product. Would probably be great for dog beds. I received this product free of charge in exchange for my honest review of it.

Love this product!!!

I've been using this brand well before I received a free sample from influenster for testing. And I still love it. The scent isn't too strong but it stays with the linens and clothes for at least a week. I usually wash once a week. So my closet always smells so good.

True Odor Defense

It's true! Just a little sprinkle of this in your wash and it will be leaving your clothes smelling fresh and clean all day long with that fresh out of the washer smell! I tested the Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but with all the compliments I got at work that day for smelling so good on a hot summer's day, I will definitely be purchasing some more soon!

Downy Botanical Beads-Too Fragrant

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Downy April Fresh liquid and dryer sheet fabric softener my whole life. So, I am a HUGE fan of the brand. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the Downy Fresh & Protect Beads Botanical Mist. I thought the beads themselves were very easy to use and did not create any mess. There were A LOT of beads in the sample packet and I was worried that they might not dissolve all the way. All of the beads did dissolve and there was no mess left behind in my washing machine. What I did not care for was the scent. It was very overpowering. Even my husband, who is not always the most observant, wrinkled his nose and said, "What is that smell?".

Great smell for fresh laundry!

Something new to adding great scents to your clothes! This is a really unique product that I was happy to try. I haven't seen anything close to this except for messy fabric softener. Easy to use just add to your laundry (follow instructions) TRY IT! I was able to receive this item complimentary, but all opinions are my own.

Great smell for musty shoes.

These smell absolutely amazing. I got this product for free for testing purposes and as soon as I opened the box, it was like heaven. I haven't used these in my laundry because I have extremely sensitive skin and I can honestly break out of someone has on too much perfume. Instead, I have been using the product as a shoe freshener. I have placed the product in an open container in the area of my closet where my shoes live. It is amazing how quickly the musty smell has gone away.

It works

Destroyed the terrible smell from my hubby's work clothes. Nothing has removed that stench. I also used this product on my dogs potty rugs. What is amazing about using it on them is that every time the dogs walk on them, more fragrance is released to help cover their stink. I am in love with this Downy. I tried it for free, but that has not sway my opinion.You must use enough of the product to retain a smell though---1 overflowing cup is a must.

One of the best In-wash order shields ever!

This product works so well. It leaves your clothes smelling fresh and lovely. It seems that your clothing holds the sent for a long while. I advice many people to buy the are and use them. Especially if you want fresh free sentinf clothes. I think these are the best order shield products I have ever used.

It worked...But not for me...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this product because I love the Downy Unstoppables. Unfortunately I did not like the scent of this particular product. It certainly left an over the top fragrance on the clothes and the next 2 loads from it lingering, I guess. I thought maybe it would smell better out of the dryer but that was just wishful thinking. The clothes had an odd scent to them when they were finished. It was good but it wasn't horrible...I would not want to smell like it did though. While I believe this product has potential, it doesn't work for me in this particular scent.

Scent boosters rock!!!

I don't usually use scent boosters in my laundry for fear of our skin going crazy... After using these in one load and realizing they were OK I had to keep using them! I love the long lasting scent and it doesn't hurt the clothes or your skin! I received a few samples free for my honest review and I will tell you, I'll be picking up more!
