Bring back the former scent

Love Dawn dish soap which I’ve used for over 20 years. I do not like the new scent. My best friend and I feel the same way. When they were still changing over to the new scent in stores, I bought about 10 of the old scent so I could have it as long as possible! I don’t understand Dawn’s persistence in suggesting that those who don’t like the new smell use their fragrant-free option when it seems pretty consistent that people prefer the previous product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that a loyal Dawn fan like you isn't enjoying the scent. A lot of thought goes into creating features that we think you'll like, though we certainly understand that preferences can vary. We'll make sure that your feedback is passed along. Since we don't currently have plans to reintroduce our previous Dawn Original scent, we're providing recommendations to give another Dawn version a try if you'd prefer a different scent or an unscented product. You're always welcome to give us a call at (800) 725-3296 if there's anything more we can assist you with.
We have been using Dawn dish soap exclusively for decades. It was perfect. I had heard from a friend that the scent had been changed and that she could no longer use it because it triggered her asthma and gave her a headache. Today we started a bottle with the new scent and I must echo the many reviews I see here: it’s horrible!! The smell is overwhelming, sickening, and headache-inducing. Why, why, why would you destroy a previously excellent product? The new scent is so atrociously bad, and it is so strong that our entire home smells like it from one dish-washing session. Your own product page has a huge number of similar and negative reviews, as does the wider internet. This is a serious misstep and mistake. Please do what Coke did when they introduced “new” Coke to a hugely negative reception and withdrew it and returned to the tried and true original product — bring back the regular, old Dawn. Will no longer be using Dawn and cannot recommend this product any longer.

We appreciate your great loyalty to Dawn over the years. We're sorry to hear that you and your friend had this experience, and we hope that you're both doing well. Since safety is our top priority, we can assure you that our Dawn Original has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. As well, we put a lot of thought into our products. This was the first scent change for our Dawn Original in over 10 years, and it was implemented after receiving positive feedback during extensive testing with consumers. We'll make sure that your comments are shared with our team, and we do recommend that you discontinue use of this particular product, if you haven't already.

As well, please have your friend who had this experience give us a call, as we'd like to learn more about their experience.
I can’t remember a time when I didn’t use Dawn. Loved it! But why would you destroy a good product? The new scent is so inconceivably bad I can’t believe your test group thought this would please your consumers. Please bring back the one we have been using for the past 10 years! No longer using Dawn and absolutely do not recommend this product any longer.

I just bought the new smelling dawn. It reminds me of when someone poops and covers it up with cheap spray

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soap is a must have! My first type trying this kind of packing and I love the cleanliness of it, no mess or dripping. My dishes are left squeaky clean.
I used to LOVE dawn! I would pick it over any other soap, because it didn’t leave things smelling like a flower or cleaning product. I recently moved and as I was getting new kitchen supplies I knew it was Dawn. However, after the first time using I knew something was different. I didn’t even notice the “new clean scent” sticker until after I’d complained to several different people that something had changed. So yeah…the new scent makes it smell too strong and now my dishes taste soapy after washing. I won’t be buying Dawn anymore.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The new scent smells like strong laundry detergent, in a bad way. When I wash the dishes, the scent lingers on the dishes even when they are dry. It doesn't smell clean or appetizing, it smells like very strong overpowering laundry detergent or fabric softener. I hate smelling it when I eat or drink.
New scent is unpleasant. Have used dawn my entire life. No longer use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
