While we're glad that you're enjoying the Ocean Mist scent of your Downy Light Scent Beads purchase, we're sorry to hear it didn't last as long as you were expecting. Our products go through many quality checks to ensure consumer satisfaction, and we'll be sure to share your comments with our team. It may be helpful to know that the amount of scent you notice can be adjusted by the number of beads used. To increase the scent, we recommend adding more beads. We'd be happy to learn more about your experience to help us assist you further. When you have the chance, please give us a call at (800) 688-7638.
