I don't smell anything? And here I was worried it would be too strong. I am extremely sensitive to smells, so I am glad this doesn't stink up my clothes. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to do anything.

reply from Downy

Hi Cheryl! We are sorry to hear you are so disappointed with our Downy Infusions In-Wash Scent Booster Beads in Calm Lavender and Vanilla Bean, especially if you are not noticing the scent on your laundry. This is not the experience we want you to have and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Please be assured that our products go through many quality checks to ensure they reach you in perfect condition and perform as intended. The Downy Infusions Calm scent beads are designed to give you more scent with touch-activated technology that helps keep clothes smelling fresh throughout the day. Since these beads are not laundry detergent, they should be used in addition to your regular laundry detergent and fabric conditioner. For best results, toss a full capful of the beads (the new dose cap holds 71 grams) into your washing machine before loading clothes, so they can dissolve and the scent can infuse into fabrics. If you used less than the recommended amount or did not add the beads before loading clothes, the scent may not be as noticeable. Nonetheless, we would really like to know more and understand what you are experiencing with these Downy scent booster beads. Please contact us at 1-800-688-7638, and our team will be more than happy to take your insights and assist you further. We wish you the best!

Soft fabric subtle fragrance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Downy Infusions liquid fabric softener calm scent smells fabulous. I love the little flower shaped lid which adds a special uniqueness. It's easy to use. My clothes and fabrics feel soft while having a very nice subtle fragrance. Overall I would use this product again.

Aromatherapy for your clothes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this free from Influenster for my honest opinion. It’s spilled a little bit during shipment. I cleaned it off before I brought it in the house. I could tell how good it smelled when I was getting it out of the box and hosing it off. You definitely smell the lavender mixed with vanilla. It smells very good on your clothes and lasts a long time. I just use a little bit and it goes a long . The packaging is very pretty. It makes you relaxed just looking at it highly, I recommend for all your laundry needs .

Cozy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the smell of this product. My clothes feel so soft after doing laundry. The smell leaves a beautiful scent after being folded and save in the draw. The static has reduced in my clothes also . A little goes a long way, a bottle can last you a very long time . I definitely recommend this product is you enjoy cozy scents.

Everything about this stuff is amazing!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im super loving Downy Calm fabric softener, with Lavender and Vanilla bean. Anything Downey is amazing, but the notes of Freesia, Vanilla and Musk are amazing. This is hands down one of my favorite softeners by Downy so far. It leaves clothes 4X fresher and softer and the aroma is calming and almost meditating. It didn't take much product to wash a load of clothes and the scent is long lasting. The floral freshness lingered long after clothes were washed. The bottle is huge at 93 FL OZ, which should give up to 138 medium loads of laundry. I love the color purple and the flowers on the bottle is appealing to me. It takes your eyes right to it. This is definitely a keeper and I will continue to use.

works really well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy Infusions liquid softner works so well on my clothes. The liquid itself is white with no added dyes which is great because there’s no risk of staining clothes. The vanilla smell is very calming and makes my clothes feel fresh. A little liquid is enough for a normal sized load.

Downy very calm and cozy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like usually Downy liquid fabric softener in the calm scent. It smells really nice kind of a soft mix of lavender and vanilla bean that isn’t too strong or overwhelming, but different a long lasting and noticeable scent. Just clean, fresh, and calming. I usually use it on my bedding and sheets, and makes such a difference. When I get into bed, everything smells really cozy and relaxing, which honestly help me after a long day. It just gives that simple fresh laundry but calming vibe that I really enjoy.

Nice Downy fabric softener scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Downy Softener in the Calm Scent smells really nice! This is a scent that will leave your laundry smelling fresh and clean. This is a generous sized bottle and will last awhile. The scent is on the moderate side which you can use more or less of depending on your scent preference. The bottle is easy to use.
