I love the downy light scent beads! The ocean mist and the woodland rain ones are my favorite scents! They’re super light and fresh and make your laundry smell so good! I’ve been using these the past 2 years. I recommend using an unscented laundry dry when using the scent beads. I use the all unscented laundry detergent.

I have used scent boosters for probably 7-8 years now, but only reviewing for the first time…….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 & 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 LOVE Downy scent beads! This is a limited sent too! It’s called Toasted Vanilla & it smells 10/10!!! So cheap too as it was a trial size! I love using this on my clothes and will be buying more! The smell lasts over a month & it is sustainable for all clothes!
