New scent is awful
on March 16, 2024
Posted by: MelGreen
from Chicago
I've been using Dawn for 15 years and for the first time ever am switching to a different brand. The new scent is so strong and unpleasant. It makes washing dishes a horrible experience. I used it a few times and hate to waste it but I simply can't stand the smell. I can smell it from across the house it's so strong.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to learn you're not a fan of the recently updated scent of Dawn Ultra with Original Fragrance, Mel. As the first scent upgrade in over 10 years, we're aware that this transition may have an impact it may have on your experience with the dish soap. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction you may be experiencing. At this time, we do not have plans to reintroduce the old Dawn scent, but it may help to know we've recently brought to the marketplace a new version of Dawn Free & Clear, which is Fragrance Free. We'd be happy to talk more with you about that new product, and hope you'll give us a call any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 725-3296.
I am sensitive to smells and Dawn Original was one of the only dish soaps I could tolerate. This new clean scent is awful. It's has such a strong perfume smell. I don't understand why they did this. I will not be purchasing this anymore.

I’m so mad that Dawn has changed its original scent to a fabric downy smell, so strong and perfumey. You have now lost my business after many years of using your original Dawn. I have asthma and the new perfume scent is so excessive and made my dishes smell like fabric softener. Why would you all do something so stupid and crazy like that. This will effect your sales.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The new scent is awful. It’s cloying and reminds me of an over-powering air freshener. We’re done with Dawn.

If I could give this new scent (falsely labeled as original scent) no stars at all, I would. This smell triggers my migraines. I have been a loyal customer for over 30 years, and will now need to switch to another dish soap! Why would you change it??? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The new clean scent is terrible, and causing headaches. We have used Dawn for decades and loved them. Unfortunately after reaching out, they do not plan to bring the original Dawn soap back so we will have to use another brand from now on.

Safety is our top priority, Tara, and all bottles of Dawn Ultra with the recently updated Original Scent are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. If you’re not able to use this dish soap, it may help to know that we’ve recently introduced an unscented version of Dawn that may become your new favorite. We’d be happy to help you give that a go, but first, based on what you've shared, we do recommend discontinuing use of your current bottle. Put it in a safe spot, in case we need you to return it to us. Then, give us a call for further assistance. We’re here any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 725-3296.
The new scent is disgusting. I refuse to use it. Whoever determined that is a clean scent has no sense of smell. The labeling is deceptive. Large font says Original and in small font it says New Clean Scent. Cheap, cheap, cheap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
