This was on sale so I figured I'd try it out. The scent is fresh and nice. I would definitely buy this again. Love that they sell larger containers of these beads.

Not very “light”

This has a very strong scent for being labeled as “light”. Personally it has more of a masculine smell than a light and refreshing smell but maybe just my opinion. I don’t know if I’ll keep using it or just return it.

reply from Downy

We&#39;re so sorry to hear you had this experience with our Downy Light Laundry In-Wash Scent Booster Beads, Ocean Mist Scent, Nicole. It must upsetting that the scent was too strong for your liking.<br /><br />We understand that scent is very subjective, but this is not the type of experience we want you to go through. <br /><br />Incorrect dosage could be the cause of too much or too little scent remaining after the wash. So, if you have used a fabric softener this can also affect the scent left on the clothes after the wash.<br /><br />Please, ensure you are using correct amount of product compared to load size/dirt levels. Also, the fragrance may fade if the container has been opened for a long time, or if the container has been stored at high temperatures. <br /> <br />We recommend you use the product within a year, and to store it in a dry room at room temperature.<br /><br />Please contact us at (800) 688-7638 so we can hear more about this situation and recommend you the best scent for your taste. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Downy.

Love the long lasting scent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how long lasting the scent is, but will be looking for a different scent from this brand, as I realized I don’t like “ocean” scents, but very much appreciate trying the product for free and know that I love the brand, just need a different scent, and will definitely buy many more!

Sensitive skin favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely good for those who are sensitive to fragrance or have sensitive skin. Love the scent, one of my favorites. I don’t find that it lasts long on my clothes, similar to all downy beads unfortunately. I wish the scent lasted longer but otherwise no complaints. You do have to use a good amount to be able to smell the product on your clothes after the dryer.

Downy Light Ocean Mist Scent Booster

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you like your laundry to smell fresh and clean, especially with scents that don’t scream “perfume shop,” Downy Light Ocean Mist Scent Booster is a good middle ground. It gives a noticeable scent without being overbearing — likely ideal for everyday use, linens, towels, etc. If you’re extra sensitive (skin, fragrance), start with a small dose. Also, avoid using too much on very white fabrics unless you're comfortable treating any slight staining.

Fresh, Clean Light Scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Downy Light Ocean Mist Laundry Scent Booster! The fragrance is so fresh and airy—like a gentle ocean breeze. It’s not overpowering at all, just a perfect, subtle scent that keeps my clothes smelling clean for days. I also appreciate that it’s free of heavy perfumes, making it great for the whole family. My laundry comes out soft, refreshed, and wonderfully scented every single time. Highly recommend if you want that long-lasting freshness without a strong, artificial smell!

Great Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to PINCHMe, I got to try these Downy Light Ocean Mist Laundry Scent Boosters and loved them! I added them to a load with some stinky, sweaty running clothes and by the time I took them out of the washing machine after the cycle, all those stinky smells that so often linger were completely gone. The Ocean Mist scent was pleasant but not overpowering. It worked so well and I will definitely be adding this to future smelly laundry loads!
