Dear Dawn, I love this awesome easy squeeze thing you've got going on, but the new scent you're rocking has got to go! You smell like a gas station bathroom and I can stand to be around you anymore. What were you thinking? I've been faithful to you for decades, but I'm afraid we're going to have to break up. You stink now and I just can't get past it.
Sorry, not sorry, Jen
I would recommend this to a friend!

'New Clean Scent' Dawn is disgusting! Shame on you P&G! An iconic product for 52 years (I've used it nearly that long) with a huge loyal following goes and changes the scent. I thought I bought a cheap knockoff dish liquid for a minute there because I couldn't determine where the smell was coming from until I discovered P&G changed the smell of Dawn (more appropriately called an odor). I wouldn't use this to clean my trash cans, much less use it on my dishes, counters or anywhere near where I prepare food for consumption. I especially don't want that stink on my hands to carry around with me all day!. I actually think it would now be considered inhumane to use it to clean contaminated water foul of the frequent oil spills gifted to us by of our friends in the petroleum industry. This scent change does seem a little fishy though (excuse the pun!)...P&G could have released the new scent in parallel with the original scent but did not do that...It strikes me as a kind of cost saving measure, like shrinkflation, another devious tactic that I'm sure P&G is also extremely familiar with. The hunt is on for a suitable Dawn liquid replacement in my household going forward.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am so disappointed in the new fragrance. It is extremely unpleasant and pervasive. After a round of dishes, my entire house smells of the fragrance. I can even still smell it on the dishes AFTER a thorough hot water rinse. Sadly I will no longer be using this product - which has been a staple in my home, my mother’s home, and my grandmother’s home. So bummed.

Had to find a new dish soap after P&G changed the scent of Dawn original, which now smells like a gas station restroom. Tried Seventh Generation Free & Clear-- it doesn't have fragrance in it and it cleans as well as the old Dawn. It's my new go-to dish soap!

Does a great job cleaning but stinks. I have to burn a candle after washing to get the smell out of the kitchen.

Horrible. I have used Dawn my whole life. The new scent makes me gag. Misleading to call it Original scent, when it has no similarity to the original scent. I will no longer buy it.
