Fresh scent
Downy® Unstopables in the Fresh scent is a great addition to any laundry routine. The scent is clean and long-lasting—it keeps clothes smelling fresh for weeks. It’s easy to use: just toss some beads into the washer before starting the load. A little goes a long way, and it works well on everything from towels to everyday clothes. If you like your laundry to smell reall...

Product messed up washing machine and dryer!!
Used this product one time. Messed up the washing machine, it took 10 minutes to clean undissolved particles from the machine. when placing in dryer some particles were still in clothing. MELTED all in drum to the point you had to scrape off drum. NO way will I use Downy products again. Have no faith in them!

My favorite scent booster
The smell isn't overpowering and it smells so good. I have been using it for weeks and I have received compliments from friends and coworkers on the smell of my clothing after using.

Love it!!
I fell in love with it after using it for the first time. A little goes a long way. It keeps your clothes smelling good and it’s not very overpowering. It’s easy to use and definitely worth it.

Ocean Mist is the BEST Scent from Downy
The scent of this product needs to be bottled up and sold as room and linen sprays as well as oil diffuser for the home. It’s just enough light floral, clean cotton/linen and ocean fresh air. PLEASE expand the line with more with this scent. Have I mentioned how not overpowering but fresh and clean and LONG lasting this scent smells and lasts for weeks

5 STARS, not any less! 10 stars if I could.
We have all been so completely impressed with the scent that is a perfect balance of favorable aroma and strength. Compliments from others have not ceased. Rumor has it this scent will be discontinued. I'm really hoping not. It's been a real game changer for us as some of the kids have skin or allergy sensitivities and this is the ONLY product able to use.

Ruined everything white
Although these scent beads smell great, they leave heavy yellow stains on anything white. It ruined my bedding. I have washed it 4 times since using these scent beads and still cannot get the yellow stains out of my comforters and sheets.

This is THE BEST
Oh my gosh! Where has this been all of my life?!? I love this so much! I’m about to run to Sam’s to buy them out of the Downy Light Ocean Mist because this is the best smelling laundry boost I’ve ever used! I’m blown away at how long this lasts on my clothes!!!

Wish there were more products with this scent!
I love this scent and I use the beads along with the Rinse and Refresh in Ocean Mist, but I wish there were more products to buy! I want laundry detergent and Febreze and dryer sheets and wax melts and if Downy wanted to get into the bath business, I’d get body wash too. I’d also love an Unstoppables version with a stronger scent

funny film in the washer
I have been using this now and enjoy the scent of the Product. But I have noticed that there is a film left in the washer at the top of the agitator, and it looked like scum... I've tried washing without the beads and there was no film left. What is causing this film build up?

Love the scent!
This scent is so good. And I like that with the scent boosters you can customize how strongly you’d like your clothes to smell of this by using more/less beads. With the downy light I find that the scent is still poignant enough to be noticed even when using slightly less than the recommended amount so you can really get good use out of the product.

The BEST Fragrance Beads!!!
This smells so good that I pray you partner with Febreeze to make a room and fabric spray in this scent. I would literally cry of joy if you partnered with another company to turn this into a perfume or body spray. It literally smells THAT good!!!

Light scent, Ocean Mist
I received a sample packet of this and it smelled so good I bought a large container of it. The sample pack had more of a fragrance than the bottle of beads I bought. Does anyone else notice samples are better than when you buy actual product? I am disappointed.

Please make all things in this scent!
This is my favorite scent, hands down. I am always being asked what my kids and I are wearing that smells so good. It smells absolutely amazing. A very just out of the shower clean smell.
