Smells great

I have well water. My clothes had a not so fresh smell. Now with using the Downy scented beads all of my laundry smells great for even days after. I would recommend ever to use them.

Downy Booster Beads

I absolutely love the Downy Beads. My clothes always smell and feel amazing after each wash. The only downside is that I wish the Rose came in 39oz size. Or, the Cherry Blossom as beads instead of it only as liquid softener. I feel the beads last longer for each load.

My Favorite Scent for Bedding

I actually prefer this for the washing of the bedding because when it comes out of the dryer and back on my beds in the home, it is soothing to go to sleep with a light, lavender scent that is touched by vanilla. It's definitely calming, and the volume of scent beads for the price is definitely what I look for when purchasing this type of product.

Downy scentbeads

I love the smell of lavender, so the size, scent, and price were a good deal for me. We have been buying Unstoppable for years. I love the way it makes my clothes smell.

Another great smell

It was time to try a new scent, and I really like this one too. It's not strong (unless you load up on the beads) and seems perfect for bedding and towels, but is great on all clothing as well.

Smelling fresh for days

Really like the smell of Downy Calm. We just Downy Scent Beads in every load of laundry we do. I really enjoy the lavender+vanilla bean scent. It makes my clothes smell fresh for days and it's not over powering at all...

Great smell for days

They leave my wash smelling refreshed for days. You don’t need to use a lot like others. Not to expensive. It comes sealed with a fresh scent packed inside.

Fresh smell

Love the fresh smell. It is not overpowering. Just enough of a scent to smell on blankets and towels

Use with caution if you have allergies

Have used other Downy scent beads but after washing my sheets and clothes with this one I was coughing all night and eyes were heavy. Stopped using it and rewashed everything without these scent beads
