Smell Is Amazing!
I love these scent beads because they leave my laundry soft, the smell is amazing, and there are no heavy perfumes. I pull out a piece of clothing a week after washing it and it still smells great!

Easy, but smells awful
While the scent beads are easy to use, don't require much instructions, and it's a fast option, these beads to me, have an awful smell. They have the same consistency as other beads, and I didn't see any residue left behind when using them.

Scent change
Purchased a large bottle expecting the classic "fresh" scent. Nope. They made it more floral now. Of course, it still removes odors, dissolves without issues, and is easy to find, but I will no longer be purchasing. Stop changing or discontinuing classic scents.

Got a single use pack hoping it would de-stink some clothes. Did the trick, and I loved the spicy, long lasting scent! Bought 2nd bottle-same. But when I opened my 3rd bottle (3/26) smell seemed 'off'. Used it on my bedding. I was right; linens smelled like BAD PERFUME, not the Fresh scent I loved. Returned the bottle.

Response from Staples :
We're really sorry to hear you had this experience with our Downy Unstopables Fresh In Wash Scent Booster Beads. It must upsetting that the of them was off.
We understand scent is very subjective, and we appreciate your feedback on this issue, but this is definitely not the type of experience we want you to go through.
This issue could be caused by the product being exposed to extreme heat or cold. Always store the product in a cool (but not cold), dry place.
Additionally, if the product is very old this has the potential to affect the perfume.
Please feel free to contact us at (800) 688-7638 so we can learn more about this situation and take care of you. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Downy.

This product is the best.
One of the best things about this product is how well it works on towels and bedding—they come out smelling especially fresh and pleasant. However, if you use too much, the scent can be a bit strong, so I recommend starting with a small amount.

This product pleasantly suprised me.
I passed by my niece, and she immediately said how good I smelled. I wasn't wearing cologne that day, and slowly realized she smelled my freshly washed shirt with the downy scent on it. How nice!

Ocean mist
This is my new favorite laundry scent. I would wear it as a perfume & need it as a candle. It’s light, unisex and not too perfumey. I like to use beach on my white clothes and this product has s the perfect scent boost. My whole house smelt good when the load finished drying.

Aroma, texture, durability, incredible, love it.
I loved the pearls of smell, they are thrown directly into the drum of the washing machine and all their fragrance penetrates the clothes that last up to 12 weeks, in them their pleasant texture that dissolves easily in the washing machine.

Almost TOO good!
Great scent—and thy work almost TOO well? I followed the instructions on the bottle, and, well, you know how you sometimes sit next to someone whose cologne or perfume smells great, but they’re wearing WAY too much? That was me and the Downy smell. That’s how well these beads work! From now on, I’ll stick to just a very light sprinkle—but you’ve won a customer!!

Fresh smell, and lasting, you should apply a little since only with that little is enough, a very suitable size, immediately put a little your clothes will have an aroma

Love it love it love it
This is the best invention ever! As someone with more sensitive skin and sensitive nostrils some scent beads can be a little too strong. I love that this is a lighter scent but you can still smell it. It’s easy to use and dissolves even in cool water for me

Long lasting fresh scent that keeps clothes smelli
I tried these scent boosters and they work really well. They leave clothes smelling super fresh and the scent lasts a long time, even after days. You don’t need to use a lot to notice a difference. It makes laundry feel more clean and refreshing overall. Definitely a great addition to any wash routine.
