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

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.

Clean light scent. It’s my families favorite!!!

This scent is so amazing and clean smelling. It’s just right, light and perfect for all your laundry. The scent is soft but lasts. I love this when washing my sheets. One capful is perfect for a large load but you can always adjust to your needs. The little beads dissolve and good for front load or top load. Simply add first before your laundry.

New scent!

I love all Downy Scent Boosters but this new scent I found last week is NEXT LEVEL! I love it so much that I couldn’t wait for them to add the product to the app, I had to share how great it is. It’s not overpowering at all. It is so fresh, cozy, and a little sweet. I love how it made my towels smell! And the scent last even after drying. I can’t wait to use it on my clothes because I just know they are going to smell amazing!

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.

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.

Lighter

Like beads for wash, but sometimes to heavy scented, these aren’t

Great smelling

This is the best out of all the scents. Fresh is a spring air and last for weeks.
