The new scent is NOT it!
on July 19, 2024
Posted by: EmilyMc
I’ve used original dawn to wash my dishes exclusively for 12 years. I don’t have a dishwasher and wash everything by hand, and this has always been my go-to. The new scent has since changed that for me. I don’t know why companies take a good thing and ruin it. The new scent is not for those sensitive to smells, so beware!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Because scent preference can be very personal, we'll be sure to share your message with our R&D Team, so they can work on making our products even better.

Awful Scent
on July 20, 2024
Posted by: CMoAK
It smells TERRIBLE! It has a lingering smell that is somehow reminiscent of both old lady perfume and harsh chemicals. I bought a bottle not realizing how different the scent would be. It was a mistake! I will not be buying this again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My skin is allergic to the new scent. It feels like a slap in the face after 25 years of buying the same product. And I hate the smell also.

New scent is terrible
on July 23, 2024
Posted by: Jgsegcvi4643
The new scent is objectively terrible. The feedback from consumers on this site and other sites is very consistent. Hopefully the company will do the right thing and switch back quickly.

Don’t wash the duck with it…the smell will kill it
on July 31, 2024
Posted by: Sorry
I used to always only use dawn dish soap. The new scent is beyond horrible! It is basically pollution!the smell is awful and literally pollutes everything it comes in contact with! Get rid of the duck advertising because the new scent would probably definitely kill any struggling animal that’s trying to get relief from a pollutant like oil! Just like everything else…if it isn’t broke why try to fix it!
Response from dawn-dish.comBy Customer Care, August 1, 2024
We're sory to hear that you feel this way about the scent. We can assure you that our Dawn Original has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. This includes the use of Dawn for emergency first-aid intervention by trained professionals in accidental exposures of animals – including accidental oil contamination of marine wildlife. Dawn is a very effective agent for the removal of oil contamination from fur/feathers, and this emergency intervention by trained personnel is a well-recognized and beneficial medical intervention. We'll be sure to let our team know how you feel, and we recommend giving our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free a try. You're always welcome to give us a call at (800) 725-3296 if you'd like any further assistance.

Awful new scent- it was fine before!
on April 16, 2025
Posted by: Unhappy with headache
Awful new scent - change it back please! I don’t need my dishes and food tasting like weird fragrant soap. Also- headache triggering! Also- for all the replies from Dawn telling us to switch to fragrance free and clear- it’s almost twice as expensive for less soap!!! So you make an obnoxious smell and tell us to switch product to give you more money for less crap in our soap? No thank you- a switch in brands seems more adequate if that is your response.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
