Horrible new scent. Not good for people with sensitivities, asthma etc. Had to throw it out. After many years of use, Will be switching to a different brand.

New scent is awful.

It works great, but holy crap the new scent is terrible. My partner has asthma, and the new formula has upset it so bad we've had to stop using Dawn.

Horrible fragrance.

I’ve tried to get used to the new fragrance. I cannot. It’s horrible. After I wash my dishes in this soap and use them for cooking or eating off of them- you can smell it and it makes the food have an off-taste. The original product was 100% better in smell and effectiveness. Please discontinue this horrible scent. Dishes do not need to have a scent.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I hate the new smell. There was no reason to change a perfectly good product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The new scent is disgusting! I have used dawn my whole life and will no longer be buying this brand.

We thank you for sharing your feedback on our recent change to Dawn Ultra Original, and are very sorry to learn you're not a fan of the new scent. As the first fragrance update in over 10 years, we understand that you may be disappointed. Because scent preference is as unique as our consumers, we worked with a group of consumers when updating this scent, in hopes all would be pleased with this change. We're sorry to hear you're not a fan. Please rest assured that we value your feedback greatly, and we will relay it to our Research and Development team.

New scent made me visibly sad
on September 21, 2024
Posted by: Garage Dad
I used to put Dawn on dry hands to remove grease and oil from working on cars, then rinse. Opened a new bottle and thought I'd been scammed by an online reseller filling fake bottles with cheap soap. Smells like dollar store laundry soap. Felt like dollar store laundry soap. Didn't clean my hands as well as before, let alone trying to use it in my parts washer for aluminum. I feel bad for having my kids use it because even they thought the stink was horrific. Thanks for 25 years of value, and no thanks to a premium Dawn product. Dawn will no longer be a generational staple in our household(s).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
