We're so sad to learn the scent-sperience wasn't wonderful, Vickie. Our Quality Team assures us that each bottle of Downy Fresh Protect In-Wash Scent Booster Beads, with April Fresh scent should deliver long-lasting freshness from wash until wear, up to 12 weeks. It may help if you add more beads to the washer. Remember, you have the ultimate control over the amount of scent your garments enjoy - just add more or less beads. We'd be happy to check in on your bottle, and make sure everything's as it should be. Please call us using the info below: Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, ESTSaturday and Sunday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM, EST1-800-688-7638
