Fresh scent that lasts!

This is a product I will always repurchase. I use them on clothes, bedding, and blankets. The scent is clean and pleasant. Easy to use, I just pour 1/2 a cap full of beads in the washer and they dissolve completely. I’ve never noticed any residue. Packaging is sleek, and the container fits perfectly on my rolling cart. It may not be an essential product, but I think it’s worth every penny.

Adjustable fragrance level, fabulous scent!

I absolutely love these scent booster beads! The fragrance is - as the name suggests - light. But it doesn’t dissipate in the dryer, rather I find my clothes smell better for longer with these added in the washer than when I use scented dryer sheets. I love that I can use fragrance free detergent and dryer sheets, but adjust the scent by using these beads. It also helps me add fragrance for only my clothing and bedding, and avoid added scents for my family members who are a bit more sensitive to fragrance. HIGHLY recommend!

Great light fresh scent

I love these scent boosters, they are lightly scented in Ocean Mist scent. It’s a fresh not overpowering scent that I love for my towels. All you do is dump a small amount into the washer with your clothes and they come out smelling so good! I love that the scent lasts without being too powerful or irritating.

Beautiful subtle scent

A light scent that really sticks to the laundry. I use unscented pods and rely on my beads to add a little scent and these do the trick. All of the light beads have the softest hint of a calming scent and I love them. You get a huge bottle for a good price and it’ll last many washes! I also love the lid is the measuring cup.

Shrinkflation

Smells amazing! Unfortunately this is a “shrinkflation” product. Downy, we noticed and call you out. The audacity to say there is 30% more…maybe more air. Good thing I bought this with $4 savings off. It wouldn’t even let me load a picture, “due to error”.

Good, but won’t buy again

I really love the fresh scent of the beads. My bedding smells really good with it and it lasts, but there’s one think why I won’t buy it again. One time the beads didn’t dissolve completely and left stains on my clothes and sheets, it was gone with one more wash, but I don’t have a washing machine in my apartment and it literally costs money to wash already clean clothes just to get rid of the stains the scent booster made. Will not be buying again even though the scent is pretty amazing.

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.

Love it love it love it

This is the best invention ever! As someone with more sensitive skin and sensitive nostrils some scent beads can be a little too strong. I love that this is a lighter scent but you can still smell it. It’s easy to use and dissolves even in cool water for me

Amazing

Downy Ocean Mist scent beads add a clean, fresh scent that isn’t overpowering. The ocean-inspired fragrance leaves laundry smelling crisp and long-lasting, even days later. Easy to use and great for towels and everyday loads when you want an extra boost of freshness.

Highly exceeded my expectations

This was the first time I’ve tried an in-wash scent booster bead. It highly exceeded my expectations. I used one packet with my bedding and couldn’t believe how good my quilt and sheet smelled and that they smelled so good for several days. It’s better than my laundry has ever smelled. It’s easy to use and put in the washing machine before you put clothes in after. The ocean mist smell smells like fresh laundry.
