This smells awesome

I got three free samples in the mail..used one packet on my comforter and it still smells great. even with my dog sleeping on my bed, it still has a lasting scent. I used another packet on my laundry but it made me itchy. I have sensitive skin but regular detergent doesn't irritate it. Just my opinions.

Favorite Product

I am not sure why it would not allow me to select more than two for value, because these are absolutely worth the price. Downs line of odor defense products are my absolute favorite...they leave your clothes smelling fresh and feeling incredibly soft. I received this product to try for free, but my opinions are all my own.

Love this stuff!

I received a free sample of Downy Fresh Protect April Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield and I love it! I usually use unscented laundry soap because most scents are too powerful and cause irritation on my skin. With this you control how little or how much you use and it smells amazing! I love the April Fresh scent. I just wish it also was a fabric softener which it doesn't seem to be.

Downy Fresh Protect: scents that last all day!

For someone who is obsessed with things that smell fantastic, I am definitely obsessed with Downy Fresh Protect Beads. My linens and clothes smelled just as good coming out of the wash as the bead did going in! I love crawling into bed and my sheets smelling like April Freshness days after laundry day. I will definitely continue to buy and use the Downy Fresh Protect Beads, I just wish that there were more variety of scents.

Overall, a really great product

I've always been a fan of Downy, and this product is no different. I threw these in-wash odor shield beads in with my laundry and noticed a wonderful difference right away. I live in New Orleans, where the climate is extremely hot and humid in the summer, so my clothes can get a little smelly, especially if I'm outside all day. This really helped my clothes smell fresh again and stay smelling fresh. I received a sample for reviewing purposes, but this review is completely honest. I'll be buying some more of this stuff soon!

Nice Touch but Not Sure About the Lasting Scent

Reading the packaging, I was looking forward to finding something that had a little something extra as I am a six day a week gym-goer and my clothes never seem to hold any kind of 'nice' smell to them. I was saddened to discover that my dryer sheets had overpowered the spell of the Downey Fresh Protect when I took my clothes out of the dryer. I also don't think they clothing really kept any smell as the day progressed or during/after my time at the gym. It may have just been the particular scent, but I really didn't notice that big of a difference. I tested Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.

Not too bad

So easy to use. I normally just toss these right into the downy ball and then throw it into the washer at the beginning of the wash cycle. The first time using the scent was a little too strong, so the next time I use about 1/3 less than the recommended. It worked out much better. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes and to voice my opinion.

Great product!

I received a sample of the downy fresh protect beads in my Voxbox in exchange for an honest review. I have also purchased this product for the last several years. I love the way that they leave your laundry smelling. The scent lasts a long time, even in the closet or cabinet. I tested Downy Fresh Protect for free but all opinions are my own.

Smells amazing & works so good!

I love the scent of these beads! They made my laundry smell so good and it lasts for a long time! I've gotten a lot of compliments and a few people asked what kind of laundry soap I use. I explained this is why my clothes smell so good. I used this on my towels that had a musty scent to them from sitting wet and this took any bad smell right out! I did receive this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. Trust me I love this product and will be buying more soon!

Love Downy!

I hadn't purchased Downy in the past and I had never used their new Protect Beads until recently. I was provided a sample and was asked to review it for the sample. After this sample I know that I will purchase these in the future. They left my clothes smelling great even days after being washed and sitting in my closet and even after wearing them all day they still smelled amazing. I was given Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free by Influenster and asked to provide an honest review, but all opinions are your own.
