Amazing
These are my all time favorite scent beads. They smell is fantastic especially paired with gain and the scent last a long time, I use a cap full of scent beads per load maybe less depending on the size of load but it always smells so good!

My absolute favorite from the entire Downy line.
I’m absolutely in love with Downy Light Laundry Scent Booster Beads! I’ve tried the entire collection, and Ocean Mist is by far the freshest, lightest, and most pleasant scent. It’s clean and refreshing, with a soft ocean-breeze feel — not overpowering at all. The fragrance lasts a long time on clothes and makes doing laundry a real pleasure. Definitely my favorite, and I will be repurchasing again and again!

Heaven on earth
I have the MOST sensitive skin in the world (I promise) -- the only moisturizer I can use is aquafor cause my skin is so sensitive -- but this stuff doesnt irritate my skin. Most scent boosters make me itch all day and night but I SWEAR BY THIS PRODUCT. Ive used this throughout college and it makes my clothes smell so fresh without bothering my skin.

Highly exceeded my expectations
This was the first time I’ve tried an in-wash scent booster bead. It highly exceeded my expectations. I used one packet with my bedding and couldn’t believe how good my quilt and sheet smelled and that they smelled so good for several days. It’s better than my laundry has ever smelled. It’s easy to use and put in the washing machine before you put clothes in after. The ocean mist smell smells like fresh laundry.

Works awesome
If you like the smell of fresh clean scents then this is the one. This is my #1 go to bead scent. I've tried meny but this is one is on top. Downey does it again with this product. You won't be disappointed

Formula change
I can’t believe they changed the formula now. I’m just breaking out in hives. This is very disappointing.

Adjustable fragrance level, fabulous scent!
I absolutely love these scent booster beads! The fragrance is - as the name suggests - light. But it doesn’t dissipate in the dryer, rather I find my clothes smell better for longer with these added in the washer than when I use scented dryer sheets. I love that I can use fragrance free detergent and dryer sheets, but adjust the scent by using these beads. It also helps me add fragrance for only my clothing and bedding, and avoid added scents for my family members who are a bit more sensitive to fragrance. HIGHLY recommend!

Light Long Lasting Freshness!!!
This is one of my favorite and was scent booster. It's easy to store not much spaces taken up. It's easy to use instructions that always at the bag or how much to use per load. It exhaust easily doesn't take long. It doesn't leave any residue behind. Smell really good especially the ocean mist. It's like a long lasting refresher. I definitely recommend getting.

Absolutely GUTTED. I was obsessed with this. I had people buying this, it was my everything everyone and I mean everyone always said I smelled so good until…THEY CHANGED THE FORMULA! Why do companies do this. I’m breaking out in hives tremendously now & I know it’s from this. Heartbroken.

Good, but won’t buy again
I really love the fresh scent of the beads. My bedding smells really good with it and it lasts, but there’s one think why I won’t buy it again. One time the beads didn’t dissolve completely and left stains on my clothes and sheets, it was gone with one more wash, but I don’t have a washing machine in my apartment and it literally costs money to wash already clean clothes just to get rid of the stains the scent booster made. Will not be buying again even though the scent is pretty amazing.

Id advise to get liquid than beads, saves more mon
Smells lovely, I lowkey be throwing more than the required amount on my washes, what, it gets the job done and the smell is heavenly. ( I know it’s toxic if you do too much 🫷). However, due to how much I put we no longer get beads but another liquid brand. The liquid ones last longer in my opinion.

Subtle fragrance but crisp
So fresh and crisp smelling in the bottle but does not cling to clothing as much as I would like the product to! If you are looking for a subtle scent, this would be ideal for you. I am a fan of a stronger fragrance so this one I am passing on!

Downy light ocean mist smell great.
This Downy Light Ocean Mist scent booster gives your laundry a fresh, clean smell without being too strong. It’s gentle, so it’s good for everyday use and for people who don’t like heavy fragrances.
