Too Strong of perfume odor, not at all what was ad

So I bought this as I did not want a heavy perfume smell on my clothes and this bottle literally says no heavy perfume smell. Well, I'd hate to see what they call a heavy perfume smell then. This was so overwhelming. I tried even just adding a little bit but the clothes still smelled too much like heavy perfume. If you like that smell then should be great. Otherwise, don't believe the advertising.

Light Ocean Mist

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't sure what to expect with a “light” scent booster, but Downy Light Ocean Mist completely won me over. It gives my laundry that fresh, clean smell without being overpowering or artificial. It's the kind of scent that just quietly lingers in the best way, like a soft ocean breeze instead of a blast of perfume. What I really appreciate is how balanced it is. Some scent boosters can be way too strong and end up clinging to clothes in an almost suffocating way, but this one keeps things subtle and refreshing. My clothes smell clean, not coated. It's also super easy to use, and I've noticed the scent lasts surprisingly well, especially on towels and bedding. Crawling into bed with that light, airy freshness? Honestly underrated. If you like your laundry to smell fresh without announcing itself from across the room, this is a great pick. It strikes that perfect middle ground between “nothing at all” and “way too much.”

I used this to wash my sheets/covers!!! LOVE!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So when it come to my sheets and comforter I can't handle the real strong scent. However, I did find that this was just the right amount. My sheets & comforter smelled great for much longer and it didn't give me a headache like most do. I would definitely recommend!

Light smell still nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will start by saying I am normally one who likes full on strong scented products, because I purchase them for that reason. But, when I received a free sample of this from PINCHme I wanted to try it out nonetheless. I decided to try it on my sons sport clothes to see if it had the same effect in getting rid of that sweaty stinky teenage athlete smell, as I knew the fully scented ones could. To my surprise, it did actually still get rid of any smells I was trying to wash away! While it has that lighter, more of a distant type of smell, it still worked wonderfully. I would recommend this for anyone who is not into the stronger smells or anyone who may not be able to handle scents on laundry products. This light scent still gave the “definitely clean” smell, and lasted through the wear of normal clothing (sorry, no scent can last through a Florida heat baseball practice no matter how intense!) but on school shirts, I could still smell the light scent after worn all day!

Fresh For So Long You'd Think It Was Cheating

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The seriously Light Fresh Scent of the Downy Ocean Mist In-Wash Scent Booster sample I tried FREE from my PinchMe.com box made me start to wonder how long I could truly go without washing my clothes again. I mean, you would never know. No one would ever know... THAT'S how seriously long this light scent lasts.

Better than expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of Downy Light (ocean mist) and was skeptical because it said "light". I assumed the scent would be light and I was wrong. It smells amazing and lasted way longer than I originally thought. When I open my closet to get clothes I can still smell the light scent. I recommend this product to my friends and family and I will definitely be buying this soon.

Nice light scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample to try of the Down Light Ocean Mist scent booster. It added a subtle, nice fragrance to my sheets. The scent did not last all week, so I looked forward to the next time I washed them.

Odor Blocker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my free Downy Light Ocean Mist Laundry Scent Boosters from Pinch Me and I absolutely love this product. I used it with my husband's stinky work shirts and it made a huge difference. The odor and sweaty smell is gone and even after he works all day, his shirt remains to smell fresh and clean. Thank you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] received a free sample of the light ocean mist, I love the smell it made my clothes smell very nice. I look forward to seeing the smile on my boyfriend's face when the clothes don't stick any longer and the static electricity.
