Amazing Smell
I really enjoyed trying the Downy Light Ocean Mist In-Wash Scent Beads! The scent is fresh, clean, and gives my laundry that just-washed feeling without being too overpowering. I love how easy they are to add to the washer, and the fragrance leaves my clothes smelling fresh after laundry day. The Ocean Mist scent is especially nice because it has that light, clean fragrance that works well for everyday clothes and linens. I would definitely purchase these again!

Very fresh and delicate scent!
A really good laundry scent booster beads for washer! It conditions the fabric well and leaves clothes soft with a fresh and delicate scent. You need to follow the instructions to get a fragrance that is noticeable but not overpowering. One bottle lasted my family about two months.

Downy Light Ocean Mist
I’ve been using the Downy Light Ocean Mist in my laundry! The scent is fresh, clean, and airy without being too strong or overpowering. I like how it leaves my clothes smelling lightly refreshed after washing, without that heavy perfume smell. It gives my laundry a crisp, ocean scent like a clean smell every wash that makes freshly washed clothes and bedding feel better then normal! The scent also seems to linger nicely after everything is dry, which is a big plus for me. I’ve used it on different loads, including towels, everyday clothes, and sheets, and I’m happy with the way all of my things smell afterwards. I love that the Light Ocean Mist fragrance smells soft enough for everyday use. This has become one of my favorite Downy scents because it adds freshness without overwhelming fragrances.. I would say it’s also on the affordable side of things so everyone can enjoy the clean, light, refreshing laundry scents.

Great smell but leaves a film over your clothes
Leaves a gross film over my clothes. And ruined two of my favorite dresses… left a stain from where it dissolved 😩

We are very sorry to hear that our Downy Light Ocean Mist In Wash Scent Booster Beads left a gross film on your clothes and, most concerningly, stained two of your favorite dresses. This is certainly not the gentle and refreshing experience we want for you, and we are deeply disappointed to learn of this outcome. Our scent booster beads are designed to dissolve completely and bond deeply with fabric fibers, providing a light, all day freshness without heavy perfumes, dyes, or phosphates, and should never leave residue or stains. We understand how disheartening it is to have favorite garments ruined, and we would like to learn more about your washing process, water conditions, and the specific fabrics involved to understand what may have occurred. Please contact us directly at 1 800 688 7638 so we can assist you further and make things right. Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback.

Best scent beads ever!!!
These are our favorite scent beads by far. They are very close the the eucalyptus and rain water, however these are not blue like those. They leave our laundry smelling so good and fresh, we always receive compliments. I love how they are a great scent for both men and women, as my husband would prefer to not smell like perfume throughout the day. They are not overly scented to give you a headache, but enough that you can smell them and it’s not worn off by the time they’re done drying.

BEST LAUNDRY SCENT!!
This laundry scent is very refreshing and such a clam scent it’s not too exaggerated but in other wise perfect. This is a good priced laundry detergent and has perfect quantity. It leaves my clothes very soft and smelly like the scent of the laundry detergent I feel like I’m smelling straight out of the ocean perfect scent ever!!!
