Don’t let the “light” fool you!

Don’t let the “Light” fool you. There’s definitely a long lasting softer scent to it. When I think “light” I think of a subtle scent that doesn’t last as long. This is not the case with these beads. It is a nice smell and definitely not overbearing. Seems to last a long time on bedding and clothes, as well.

Use it!

It's great! Scent is light, fresh and clean ... Perfect for bedding and stuffs! Clothes too obviously. I'm a fan, rarely do loads where it's not added.

Favorite Scent

This is my favorite Downy scent beads so far. It smells great without being overpowering. Perfect for sheets and towels because the smell stays for a while.

The best fragrance booster gentle but, noticable

I had a variety of sample scent boost packets. I took some loads to the laundry mat to catch up on a back log if laundry and I wash some king size bedding that wont fit in my washer. One of my throw blankets smelled so amazing. It took me some trial an error to figure out it was the downy light sample. Now it's my go to #1 choice. It's absolutely amazing. Fresh clean and snuggly. It lasts but isn't too strong or perfumed. I highly recommend it. Strong perfumes make me sneeze. But, I still want my laundry to smell good. So Downy light is perfect for me.

Keeps my laundry smelling fresh.

I really love this scent. It’s fresh, clean, and makes all my clothes and laundry smell good without being too strong. The Ocean Mist fragrance lasts well after washing and keeps everything smelling fresh throughout the day. It’s an easy boost that makes my laundry feel extra clean and pleasant.

High End Smell

Love this subtle clean smell. It leaves your clothes smelling like the high end fragrance wash liquids. Smells more like Tyler Candle Company than Downy.

Downey wash beads ocean mist

It is a fresh clean scent but my favorite is more od a clean linen smell. The price was not bad its is average to all other scents. It does smell good and you dont need a lot to make clothes smell fresh.

“Downy is not good for children. It caused my children’s eczema to flare up and gave them an allergic reaction. Their skin became very red and irritated. I would not recommend this product for children, especially those with sensitive skin or eczema.”
