I received 3 generous sample packs of these in wash odor shields from influenster complimentary for testing purposes, however all opinions are honest and my own. This product worked great for work clothes, play clothes, gym clothes, and all my other heavily sweat soiled garments. I have tried similar products like this in the past but I didn't notice that they did anything other than add some scent to the clothes, however this downy one actually removed all traces of any odor and left the clothes clean and smelling fresh. I do suffer from sensitivity to certain smells so for that reason I couldn't give this product a 5 star rating. I am however able to use it on my husband and my sons clothing without the scent bothering them so for that reason will be purchasing a full sized package of these when I go to the grocery today.

These April Fresh in wash Odor Shield scent pearls are just amazing smelling. They smell so good I want to stash some in my car to make it smell just as good. They smell clean, super fresh, and floral. I love that they effectively make the laundry smell so amazing. ****I received sample. All opinions stated are 100% honest and my exclusive opinion****

I received this as a sample however this is my own personal opinion. I have used this product twice and will definitely purchase. Just sprinkle in before you add your clothes and they will emerge from the washer and then dryer with an amazing scent. The scent is not overpowering in any way but makes your clothes feel fresh and clean. I highly reccomend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mixed the downy beads with the tide pods and what came out was the cleanest, freshest, nicest smelling clothes ever!!! We struggle trying to keep clothes smelling good with the rough water (and stinky!) in our area!! The clothes that have not been worn STILL smell like I took them out of the dryer SEVEN days afterwards! Great product will definitely need more!!!

Omg!!! After a workout this is the best thing to use, and really it works wonders especially if your cloths are very smelly, my husband will work all day and after one wash this stuff gets everything done it's amazing and smell so good and so clean very pleasant smell I love it and definitely recommend this to everyone get this ASAP

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield which is something new to me. But overall I enjoyed that it helped with my son's game cloths after a game of sweaty playing. Help capture the smell and also clean it pretty good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Downy Fresh & Protect beads are a great new idea for laundry. I enjoyed using the beads on my workout clothes. I felt confident that my workout clothes stayed fresh smelling longer than usual at the gym. I would definitely buy the beads again for some laundry such as workout clothes.

Absolutely love the simplicity of this product! Just throw it in with the wash and reap the rewards of wonderfully fresh laundry. The scent lasts and is just the right intensity to be enjoyable but not overpowering! *Received a sample via Influenster, but will be heading out to purchase this product ASAP!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like Downy , so I was hoping for something more from this. Smell was okay but I expected this to last longer . The kids said the clothes did not smell any better after running around for just one day at school ( not even a gym class, just everyday activity)- so I have to say results do not meet the promises . I have other plain fabric softeners that gave longer & better scent. Sorry Downy- you disappointed me with this one.
