Downy Light Laundry Scent Booster Beads for Washer, Shea Blossom, 24 oz, with No Heavy Perfumes

These work so well, I tried to take a picture of my laundry room to send the smell to my best friend. I seriously get compliments all the time from how good I smell and I don’t use perfume, so this is it. I can’t wear perfume or use candles because and strong scent gives me a horrible headache. But these done! They smell so good! If you use them as directed, they won’t get sticky. I used to have a problem with the beads being stuck to my clothes after I washed them. That’s because I was putting them on top of my clothes. You are supposed to add these to the washer first, then add your clothes. These are expensive in my opinion, but I will not go without them!Side story: I washed my regular clothes, then moved into maternity clothes. I got back out my pre pregnancy leggings after almost 9 months, and they still smelled so good! I love these!

I have used scent boosters for probably 7-8 years now, but only reviewing for the first time…mainly because I’ve religiously & adamantly used only natural laundry & cleaning products since my 6 months old daughter was diagnosed w eczema & quickly discovered harsh chemicals made a HUGE difference, but as our washing machine got older, things didn’t always smell fresh, even after super hot water wash. So, w her in her teens & able to instantly identify new irritants, thought I’d try some, & could leave off her items if necessary. If any other parents may be curious out of similar concerns….I’ve now tried just about every brand of scented laundry additive made, & was a long time gain moonlight breeze fan….LOVED the scent…sweet w/o being too much, perfumy, or inappropriate for my husband & teenage son, but ultimately found myself using way more than recommended in order for the scent to last. At some point, when my preferred gain was out in the store, I settled for Downy shimmer….which INSTANTLY became our favorite replacement. The scent lasted much longer & was a nicer pleasant gender neutral scent. Going through several periods of Shimmer being unavailable~w other’s questioning if it was discontinued online, I settled on Spring…it’s quite similar but a little sweeter? Honestly, they’re the only 2 scents I’d found I would even consider!! I came across a small bottle of the Shea Blossom in a store I normally don’t shop for that sort of thing, but it & another were new to me, so thought I’d just take a whiff out of curiosity….I’m the one smelling every candle on the aisle in Marshall’s & Tj Maxx because ya NEVER KNOW what gem you may find amongst 95%, or more, scents I wouldn’t burn if given to me free~I’m obviously quite picky about fragrances & don’t usually like anything ‘created,’ like fresh, rain, etc, but also don’t care for fabulous scents that disappear instantly either. Shea Blossom was an incredibly unexpected surprise!!! I wouldn’t say as strong or on the sweet side as Shimmer or Spring, I guess more floral, but an incredibly mild floral….almost a weak Gardenia. I mean, it is called “light,” but I wouldn’t know if the bottle didn’t say so because the performance isn’t a bit lighter! To me, it’s just a more natural, earthy scent….idk the right words exactly except, not as forced. Clothes smell exactly as you’d expect coming out of the wash, & occasionally I use a little extra on items that won’t be used soon. **an important note…using a front loader, I often add a bit of vinegar to the softener compartment because it helps loosen dirt, strip odors & softens, while also helping the drum stay cleaner, but it doesn’t affect the scent whatsoever! Smells equally great w or w/o vinegar** Fortunately, the Gain boosters didn’t irritate her skin when using a little less than recommended, & the Downy boosters have not irritated her at all, yet Downy fabric softener has caused mild irritation while Tide sets her skin on fire!!!! Knowing it’s definitely more chemicals than I’ll allow at any other time, I feel reassured it’s not bad enough to require caution, & I get to treat myself to a rare bonus of not worrying when I pull out long stored linens for guests that they may need a fresh wash first (I have actually added small plastic pouches w some beads & w holes punched throughout also in items stored in fabric bins long term to help due to a musty smell infiltrating the closet from the crawl space beneath) I have now solely converted to Shea Blossom permanently & even subscribed to monthly delivery. And, now that my daughter is grown & added her 2nd child recently, she has quite rolling her eyes at my use of natural products & converted herself, though she too has chosen to make an exception for Downy Scent Boosters, though opting for a different scent (I think the Light Ocean Mist), & using 1/2 the recommended amount, which she says is perfect as quickly as items are used/worn & therefore washed often. But she readily substitutes mine when she’s out! Doesn’t use on her 5 months old baby, but has been using for her 5 years old son since 1 or so when she also switched from the Gain brand. Newly tried natural detergents have come & gone due to reactions, but Downy has proven trustworthy & continued to be consistently gentle & non irritating to her highly sensitive skin, as well as her young children’s (the baby sleeps on her sheets, & mine, & has extremely close contact w our clothes. Of course EVERYONE is different, but I would recommend at least trying if you have skin concerns because our experience has been great, & that’s rarely true outside green products! And, if you’re not a big fan of overwhelming or intensely permeating smells, I’d also recommend Shea Blossom, & hopefully you too can finally enjoy a mild fragrance boost that’s typically next to impossible to find

I recently tried the Downy Light Laundry Scent Booster Beads in Ocean Mist, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The scent is refreshingly clean and subtle, without being overpowering—a perfect balance for those sensitive to strong fragrances. Even after days in the closet, my clothes retain that fresh, airy aroma. The beads are easy to use; just toss them into the washer drum before adding your laundry. Plus, they're free from heavy perfumes, dyes, and phosphates, making them a great choice for families with sensitive skin. Overall, these beads have become a staple in my laundry routine, providing that extra boost of freshness I love.

These are a MUST-have for doing laundry!! The smell is INCREDIBLE. Once you start using it, you won't switch to another scent. The scent is so refreshing, light, and clean. I don't know how else to describe it other than "clean house vibes". I have gotten so many compliments from my friends smelling it on my clothes/blankets, and they love it just as much!

The best Downy Oder scent I highly recommend it . It is my favorite, if you want your clothes smelling like ocean breeze’s this is definitely the product you need.Also the value for money is on point buying here is a lot cheaper then in stores. Durability and works well

These laundry scent beads are a game-changer! They leave my clothes smelling amazing for days—even weeks. Just a small amount in the wash adds a fresh, clean scent that isn’t overpowering but definitely noticeable. I especially love using them for towels, bedding, and gym clothes. The beads dissolve completely and don’t leave any residue. It’s such a simple way to boost your laundry routine, and now I can’t imagine doing laundry without them!

Subtle scent? I can't smell anything different.My Tide the cleaner scent, so why pay $$ for this?

Primera vez que lo compro y de verdad que huele rico la ropa cuando lavo. Todos los de la línea me encantan. Todos dejan su olor. Lo mejor que he probado para dar olor a la ropa
