Snuggle Laundry Scent Boosters Concentrated Scent Pacs, Lavender & Vanilla Orchid, Tub, 56 Count

*Edited on March 24, 2025.*I'm editing this review because it has been 7 years since I posted the original review here, at least according to Amazon, and if you read the original review below, one thing you will notice is that the price of this product has substantially increased even more. Now, I teach Economics to high school seniors, and we have recently and in depth discussed and covered in great detail relevant topics like inflation, supply shortage, consumer demand, and other information that would be, greatly or insignificantly, causes for price increases. I'm not here trying to be anyone's teacher or trying to be condescending; rather, I'm intentionally exaggerating to emphasize one big question that neither I nor my students can answer, and that is: why the heck is the price for this product so dang high? Where it used to be, as my original review stated, around $7 or $8 for a 56-count tub of this, it went to around $15 to $17 per tub, also as explained in my review.Well, after seeing the even higher price of this item, I'm editing my review again on 3/24/2025 to update the price so that my review is at least accurate. With tax, this tub of Snuggles Scent Boosters runs for basically $25. That's a staggering 213% price increase! Why?________________________Original review:I've used these for years, this scent specifically. Lavender & Vanilla has for years been one of the most popular non-seasonal scents in the market place. Because of this, these specific scent pods were always readily available in stores, and the price averaged around $7 for the tub of 56, give or take. For quite some time I had these on Subscribe & Save, which further reduced the cost to something just north of $6. For whatever the reason, over a year ago Amazon removed these from the Subscribe & Save program and wouldn't even sell them directly anymore, instead having them available only through approved sellers.That coincided with a massive price hike. The price of this 56-pack container literally doubled, sometimes being MORE than twice the price. It has since remained off the aforementioned Subscribe & Save program and has more or less been around $15 to $17 per tub. Is that high? Yes, way too much, IMHO, but one can say that about a lot of things the last few years.If you swear by these things, like I do and many here do, then they're worth it; otherwise, you're better off going for a different scent. Ahhhh, but that's what sets this specific scent apart from the other 1 or 2 scents in which this product is offered. This Lavender & Vanilla Orchid scent is by far the best. It's not overly or excessively pungent, but is still strong enough to leave your clothes, towels, and more with a nice, pleasurable, aromatic feel to them.Another reason I prefer this particular scent is because my liquid fabric softener is Downy Lavender & Vanilla, so the two scents go together instead of being different scents that end up smelling like something grown in a lab. Yes, it may be a bit unusual to use both a liquid fabric softener AND a scent pod; however, I have found that using these 2 together actually provides for a better result with my clothes and other items, especially my towels. There is a noticeable, pleasant scent instead of one of those typical scents that you'd need a dog's nose to detect. I've had several people over the years who have all made compliments to me over this.One related fact is that lavender and vanilla as a combined scent is one of the most popular such scent options in the market place. Air freshener sprays, scented oil plug-ins, aromatic wax candles, and more such items all come in various scents, with lavender & vanilla being one of the most popular options within each of these products' individual items. Because I use fabric softener, aerosol spray, and Air Wick plug-ins of the same scent, I wanted to do the same with my laundry. I know I wasn't alone in this item's and this scent's perceived popularity, because the aforementioned items in this scent were always the ones in the shortest supply.So why then was this particular item discontinued in stores? I couldn't find this specific product anywhere among retail stores. It was available only on the Internet, and in very few places, too—Amazon being one of them, thankfully.

My clothes are very soft, smell great and the pods dissolves completely during the wash and rinse cycle.

My clothes have a pleasant smell, I recommend it

I think these make a difference, even after the dryer

I've been using Snuggle fabric softener (liquid and sheets) for years and years and I'm a HUGE fan. I finally decided to try the scent boosters. I chose Lavender & Vanilla Orchid scent with 56 scent booster pacs. They come in a plastic box, convenient for storing. The directions couldn't be any easier-add a pod to the washing machine drum prior to adding the laundry, then add detergent like usual. That's all there is to it! The plastic wrapping on the pacs dissolve in the water as does the scent booster. Laundry is left smelling wonderful and not at all overpowering/gagging.I've experienced no issues whatsoever. Love these booster pacs and the way the laundry smells. The price is VERY reasonable. (I signed up for Amazon's 'subscribe and save' and got a nice discount on the booster pacs.) They can be used in any type of washing machine. Absolutely recommended!

I got these instead of the beads that I usually get from snuggle, and the smell is SO FRESH N CLEAN!! I wasn't sure if it'd actually work like the bead boosters but it works BETTER than the beads IMO. I noticed the smell of this product on the 1st wash with them more than I've noticed the scent with the beads. Not to mention this package has more loads per quantity than the beads would be able to do. With this I'm able to get up to 56 loads (it says) but I'll be able to get more loads with these than I'd be able to with the 3 pk bead deal (snuggle brand). So I'll be using these from now on instead of the beads. Due to the noticable scent and the amount of loads I'll be able to do with this product as opposed to the beads. I'm glad I tried it out and now I'm switching!

I love it. The loose crystals sometimes didn't dissolve. These all do. Recommended to try.

Great way to help soften clothes while they wash
