We're sorry to hear this, Windy and want to assure you that we have many quality checks to ensure you're left with a wonderful lingering scent. The amount of beads used per load can be adjusted to meet individual choice of the amount of scent desired. Larger loads need more beads than small loads to deliver the desired amount of scent. Super high temps and/or super long dry times in tumble dryers may zap some of the perfume, so we'd simply suggest using lower heat and shorter dry times if possible. We'd like to learn more about your experience to help, as well as share this with our Quality Team. When you have a minute, please get in touch with us at (800) 688-7638.
