My Favorite Fragrance

This one fragrance is not super strong or offensive. Just the right light scent to make your clothes smell refreshed. Having severe allergies makes it difficult to use many products but this one works for me!

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.

Not happy about the results

I am highly disappointed in this particular item. I've had scent pods before and I enjoyed them but these leave streaks in my clothes, they don't dissolve all the way in the washing machine and I end up having to re-wash my clothes a second time.

reply from Downy

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the Downy Light In-wash Scent Booster Beads. We genuinely appreciate your input and understand how disappointing it can be when a product does not meet your expectations.<br /><br />It’s important to note that the effectiveness of in-wash scent boosters can be influenced by several factors, including:<br /><br />- Amount Used: The amount of beads used per load can be adjusted based on your personal preference for scent strength. Larger loads typically require more beads to achieve the desired scent.<br />- Dissolving Process: If the beads are not dissolving completely, it may be due to the washing machine settings or the temperature of the water used. We recommend using lower heat and shorter dry times, as super high temperatures can affect the performance of the scent beads.<br />- Washing Machine Load: Overloading the washing machine can also prevent the beads from dissolving properly, so ensuring there is enough room for clothes to tumble freely can help.<br /><br />If you continue to experience issues with streaks or undissolved beads, we recommend re-washing your clothes with the appropriate amount of detergent and ensuring your washing machine is not overloaded.<br /><br />We take quality very seriously and would like to investigate this matter further. Please feel free to contact us at (800) 688-7638, where our service team is ready to assist you. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we want to ensure you have a positive experience with our products.<br /><br />Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to resolving this for you.

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!!

I’ve been purchasing Downey Beads for a while. This scent is by far the most pleasant. My children and husband all compliment and insist I only purchase this scent.

Delightful!

This is my all time favorite scent and brand for scent beads. Not overpowering, but beatifully scented for wearable comfort. Very unlike other scent beads that make my stomach turn due to an over powering scent.

Great scent

Great scent without being overpowering. My husband and I are very sensitive to detergents and fragrances but we add this to our Tide and don't have issues. Also like the clothes smell great without smelling of cheap fragrance.

Wonderful scent!

I was skeptical about this scent since my go-to beads were out of stock, but I don’t regret buying these at all. I’m actually stocking up in case they get discontinued at my local Sam’s. These are the only beads I’ve found where the scent lasts for days, and that’s a lifesaver with a sweaty husband and son!

Very Nice pleasant, Clean Scent

I like this scent booster because it provides a long-lasting, clean scent for my clothes, towels, and sheets. Sam's Club has the best economical price compared to any other retailers in my search. These scent boosters are so expensive, I am glad Sam's Club has a little better price.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST

I have tried several different scent boosters, and the ocean mist is my absolute favorite! I first tried this scent when I got a free sample in my Walmart grocery order goody bag, and I’ve been hooked ever since! I get compliments often about how my clothes smell so good, so I share my secret laundry ingredient. Sam’s Club price is the best on these especially when they have a savings event going on. 10/10 recommend!!
