[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used my free sample of downy fresh a little over a week ago. My clothes came out soft and smelling great! A week later and the wonderful smell is still there! Love these and will definitely use them again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy fresh & protect beads will leave your clothes smelling fresh for days. When pulling your clothes from your dresser you will be welcomed by the smell of this product all day. This product does not disappoint AT ALL... Take it from me. When I tried this product I thought I was smelling a little piece of heaven and I could not wait to wear the clothes that were washed with the Downy fresh & protect beads that came in my BuzzKit. This is the best product that Downy has came out with... actually it's genius!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These little beads are the little extra kick your clothes need to smell fresh for longer, they not only leave them smelling amazing but they deodorize them! I found myself smelling myself all the time after using Downy Fresh & Protect Beads, and it not only lasted a couple hours, I actually was able to get the fresh scent after wearing them the whole day. This is a great add on to my laundry routine, the only reason I don't give it five stars is because this is separate from your regular Downy softener, so this will be another product yet to add to your laundry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to use "unstoppables" so I was used to the bead thing but, the difference with these #DownyFreshProtectActiveFreshIn-WashOdorShield is that they are not just put into the laundry to make the clothes smell fresh they are in there to help keep you smelling fresh all day that you wear your clothes. YES that is right they keep you smelling fresh, My clothes have never smelt better and I smell great from the beginning of the day until the end of the day. These beads are so easy to use and smell amazing themselves but, my favorite thing about this product is the fact that is so innovative to be able to keep my clothes fresh all day. I have two big dogs that get smelly but, love to jump all over you and my clothes still smell amazing at the end of the day. One of my dogs sleeps on the bed with me so I washed my sheets and blankets with this product and my bed smells so amazing a fresh still a week later. I love these beads and will forever by them for my family. My husband is out working all day and comes home and still have a fresh smell to his clothes.. I am shocked at what an amazing product this is and think everyone needs to try it. There is nothing better than the fresh smell of washed laundry ALL DAY LONG! Thank you #Downy for making such an amazing product. #LOVEIT #SmellsSoGood #GotItFree

Downy and febreze have out did themselves with this one! I got these products totally free to try but all opinions are my own. There's nothing I can say bad about this product! The scent lingers for days on end and all you have to do is toss them in the beginning of your wash cycle and magic happens! On top of that, a little goes a long way!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Downy Fresh and Protect Beads Botanical Mist. When I took m y clothes out of the wash, they smelled beautifully all day. Even my husband commented on how nice the wash smelled after using this product. This is one product I do see myself using in the future (especially with a hard working, sometimes smelly husband lol). They freshened the clothes right up.

So for quite awhile I was using these in my front loading washer. If I didn't, i found that some of my loads came out not smelling so great. On the downside is that they do leave a little waxy residue after time, and you are adding chemicals to your clothes. One of my family members started having skin reactions so i had to discontinue. I loved the scent of my clothes tho after being washed, and I miss that.

This really is deodorant for your clothes! Adding beads at the beginning of the wash cycle is a new concept. I was unsure, but I was wrong. My clothes smelled awesome and the scent lasted all day! I received a free sample to test and review, but this opinion is all mine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a little iffy on these. I Love how soft my clothes felt coming out, but the smell when I took them out of the dryer was different than I expected. It said "Botanical Mist" which was the same as the tide pods, but the smell was a little different.. not sure what went on there, but it makes me a little iffy. I will definitely be buying these to try it again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this. Have used snuggle in the past but really liked the downy beads. My clothes smelled fresh but not too perfumery. I will be buying more!
