Pleasant and long-lasting floral fragrance

The container is practical and easy to store thanks to its compact size and secure lid. Its use is safe and does not generate disorder, facilitating cleaning during washing. The floral fragrance is fresh, pleasant and leaves the clothes with a lasting aroma. A good option for those looking to keep clothes feeling fresh for longer.

A little goes a long way

There’s multiple different scents and this one I personally like , regardless of what scent you use they all last a while in the wash. A little amount of beads go a long way.

Less and less ounces but still a great smell.

I love the smell of these scent beads! Downy is unmatched in that area and april fresh is the best in my opinion. We have been buying these for years and what I loved was the amount you got for the price! Now with that being said, these use to be 37.5oz bottles and now they are 26.3oz bottles!? They went from 37.5oz to 28.3oz and NOW these are 26.3oz. I'm not sure why they keep going down in oz but continue to have about the same price point, but I do have the 2 previous bottles they sold. If the ounces don't go back up it might end up being better to get these from a different place. So far they're still a better price per oz here, but it doesn't look like that will be the case much longer. As far as product, we love it, it does the job, smells great and lasts.

Weeks of fresh laundry

A capful and laundry comes out fresh for weeks, and still noticeable on towels, sheets and clothes long after the wash. I love the scent-floral, clean without being perfumey, and it layers well with any detergent I use. But these beads need warm water to melt properly. If you wash in cold, you’ll want to pre-dissolve them first, otherwise they won’t break down and you’ll find beads left behind. Not a dealbreaker though, just an extra step for cold water washers. The packing is great for storage too, easy to keep sealed and tidy on the shelf.

Rose scent instead of April Fresh :(

They’ve changed the amount you get and the scent. I was fine with paying the same price for a little less but why change the scent. The scent has been my favorite for years and now it has a weird rose smell added. Time to find a new one.

Smaller amount for the same cost

The bottle contains less product now but it has the same price. Not okay.
