Please label scents on the bottle.

This has a scent to it and it is terrible. The worst part is the scent isn’t listed on the bottle so you think you are getting the original dawn. I am highly sensitive to smells and the original scent I can tolerate, but this new one gives me an instant headache. It doesn’t seem to cut the grease as well as the original Dawn.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We always want you to get the scent and cleaning power you're expecting, so we're sorry to hear this wasn't the case with your recent purchase. Please be assured that we thoroughly test all of our ingredients for quality and safety before we use them in a product, so this is not something we would expect. We do understand that sensitivities vary from person to person, so if you haven't already, we recommend discontinuing use of this Dawn. It may help to know we do have a Free & Clear Fragrance-Free option in our E-Z Squeeze bottle, so in order to help you locate this version, and learn more about your experience to share with our Quality and Safety Teams, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 Monday-Friday 9 AM - 6 PM EST.
I own a dairy farm and we have always used Dawn as the first step of cleaning the milk lines and tanks. (I say that to let you know I was a volume buyer. Because of the formula, Dawn was considered to do the best job of removing the initial milk residue and was used by many dairy farmers for this purpose.) Now, no more. We finally ran out of our old supply and opened a new bottle. The new formula leaves a nasty fragrance residue and is generally gross and not as good as cleaning - the perfume-y smell just doesn't ever rinse away. I'm sure the fragrance change was based on cost considerations when changing fragrance catalogues, but can't understand why they couldn't come a little closer to the original's benign, soapy scent. We have discontinued use of Dawn permanently and switched to a different alkaline soap for commercial needs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used A LOT of different dish soap brands and I always end up going back to Dawn. Like the commercial mentions it breaks down grease and makes dish washing so easy. I also like to use it through out the house to clean.

The new clean scent in all the blue dawn soaps are terrible! Please bring back the original scent! I’m thinking about switching away from dawn because I can’t stand the smell.

If you'd like to share more, you're always welcome to give us a call at (800) 725-3296.
Horrible new fragrance! ☹️ Why did they change it? The new fragrance gave me an instant headache I knew something was wrong immediately. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I won’t be buying Dawn again until they change it back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that a loyal Dawn fan like you had this experience, and we hope that you're doing well. We can assure you that our Dawn Original has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. As well, a lot of thought goes into creating features that we think you'll like. This was the first scent change for Dawn Original in over 10 years, and it was implemented after receiving positive feedback during extensive testing with consumers. We'll be sure to share your comments with our team, and we do recommend that you discontinue use of this particular product, if you haven't already. We suggest giving another Dawn version a try, and you may be interested in our Dawn Free & Clear, as it features our lightest scent. We also have our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free available. So that we can learn more and gather some additional details for our Safety Team, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 when you have a moment.
I am disappointed with the new "Clean Scent" that has replaced the original. I have been using Dawn for most of my life. I enjoyed that the former offering was very close to scent free. This new offering triggers a headache and the need to wash the smell off of my hands. The soap still works great, however I will be on the hunt for something different.

Thank you so much for being a long-time Dawn user, and we're very sorry to hear about your experience with our new scent. Quality and safety have always been at the forefront of everything we do, and while scent preferences will always vary from person to person, we would not expect you to be getting a headache when using it as directed. This is because all of our products go through extensive testing to ensure safety with proper use. Your wellbeing means a lot to us, so please discontinue using the Dishwashing Soap if you haven't done so already. Additionally, if you wash your hands with a mild dish soap a couple of times, the scent should dissipate. This isn't something we take lightly, so we'd like to make a report to our Quality and Safety Team, make sure your voice is heard about the change, and tell you more about our new Dawn EZ-Squeeze Free & Clear Dish Soap as it has the cleaning power of Dawn you know, love, and trust, yet is unscented. Please give us a call (800) 725-3296.
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.
