We&#39;re so sorry to hear you had this experience with our Downy Bloom Boutique Botanicals Limited Edition Scent Booster Beads. It must upsetting that the scent did not last long.<br /><br />We understand that scent is very subjective, but this is not the experience we want you to have.<br /><br />Habits like incorrect dosage could be the cause of too much or too little scent remaining after the wash.<br /><br />If you have used a fabric softener this can also affect the scent left on the clothes after the wash.<br /><br />Also, the fragrance may fade if the container has been opened for a long time, or if the container has been stored at high temperatures. So, we recommend you use the product within a year, and to store it in a dry room at room temperature.<br /><br />Please contact us at (800) 688-7638 so we can hear more about this situation and take care of you. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Downy.
