Awful new clingy fragrance
on June 11, 2025
Posted by: Honestly
from Jackson, MS
The new scent is so, so bad, and that fragrance clings to everything washed. Loved original scent. Will not buy Dawn now. Wish I could give zero stars. It’s so disappointing when a great product changes to something intolerable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear you are not a fan of the new scent, and that you're having issues with residual fragrance. Please rest assured that we value your feedback greatly, and we will relay it to our Research and Development team. We'd recommend giving our Dawn E-Z Squeeze Free & Clear Fragrance-Free a try, as it has all of the cleaning power of Dawn with no added scent. We'd love to hear more about your experience and help you locate this version of Dawn. Please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 Monday-Friday 9 AM - 6 PM EST.

Not scented, but disagreeable - it's SMELLY!
on September 1, 2025
Posted by: Yucch
The new smell of blue Dawn is cloyingly sweet. The smell persists so much that washed items seem to require another rinse. Revert to the old formula, please.
Response from dawn-dish.comBy Customer Care, September 3, 2025
Thank you so much for letting us know your thoughts on our new scent. We do extensive quality and consumer testing to get the scent just right, so we appreciate you sharing your feedback. To remove the scent from your dishes, please soak them in hot water with a bit of distilled white vinegar added to it. In the future, we recommend washing these dishes by hand, and avoid soaking them. We'd love to connect about this and help. Please call us at (800) 725-3296.

Smells like old clothes
on November 26, 2025
Posted by: Sad about the change
from Alabama
I bought a large bottle Dawn and despise the scent. I wish I sniffed it before I bought it. I didn't know that it was reformulated. If if was to save money, it would have been better unscented. It thought my sink drain or dishcloth was dirty. Nope. It was the Dawn dish soap. It smells like old clothes to me. I also seem to use more. Why change what was working and what consumers were happy with?

The new scent is terrible, I love how well Dawn works but the scent is just awful, it's unusable for our household. I miss the old scent.

The new scent is nauseating. It is so strong and lingers on your hands, sink, and dishes. So disappointing. Whole bottle in the trash. Off to fond an alternative.
