A little bit obsessed
I rarely write reviews but had to give this product due recognition. My family usually uses the OG green Downy scent boosters but I figured I’d try this one since I had a coupon. Once I got home, I read reviews. I was a bit skeptical because people said the scent was nonexistent. After four loads of laundry, every one (different water temperatures, and fabrics) smells divine. My clothes are fragrant, without being overbearing. The subtle scent is soothing and very clean. I don’t usually use a softening product, but this is a real treat. I couldn’t wait to get into my clean sheets tonight and enjoyed laundry day quite a bit more than usual! I just hope they don’t discontinue this one as they do any special scents I have loved.

Hi Caitlin! We're so glad to hear you love the Downy Comfy Cozy + Toasted Vanilla Laundry Additive Beads. It blends a creamy toasted vanilla scent with extra comfy softness to give your laundry that cozy, fresh feeling. For best results, just toss in up to half a a cap for medium loads, a full cap for large loads, and 1.5 caps for extra-large loads. Enjoy that lovely scent and softness!

Haidyn, thank you for sharing your candid review of the Downy Blends Soft & Fresh In-Wash Scent Booster with Toasted Vanilla! We are certainly happy to hear that the product works great for you and even makes your whole apartment smell fresh, which is fantastic news for its performance. However, we are truly sorry that the "Toasted Vanilla" scent did not meet your expectations and, as you described, was not your favorite. We understand that scent preference is very personal, and your honest feedback, though surprising given your love for vanilla, is incredibly valuable to us as we continuously refine our offerings, as your satisfaction is of utmost importance. We would genuinely love to learn more about your experience and preferences, so please consider calling us at 1-800-688-7638. Thanks again for your unique perspective!

Toasted vanilla!
I really love the smell of these beads, but I found it was pretty light compared to other downy scents. It left my clothes feeling clean though no residue from the beads.

No residue in the wash.
The quality of these scent beads is excellent, and the bottle lasts a long time. The instructions are simple to follow and the vainilla scent leaves clothes feeling fresh and cast. They dissolve well and leave little to no residue in the wash.

Everyone keeps saying the scent booster/fabric softener beads don’t smell Vanilla but this is a dual scent and it’s also not just scent booster beads like Unstoppables but also a fabric softener beads as well. So anyone washing active wear, rain resistant fabrics or snow gear …be aware of that. This is a dual scent is called Super Comfy + Toasted Vanilla so it will be a light and fresh fabric scent and also a 2 in 1 Scent booster and Fabric Softener. Will damage fabrics that you shouldn’t use fabric softener.

Not vanilla
These do not smell like vanilla in the least bit. I would compare the scent to a powdery perfume

Pleasant and Gentle
Such a pleasant and gentle smell. Not too strong and not too soft that it fades immediately. Hope there are more products options for this particular fragrance in the future. I would continue to keep it in stock.
