New scent is awful. Cleaning is no fun, this scent makes it awful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on our recent change to Dawn Ultra Original. As the first scent change in over 10 years, we had hoped that working with a team of Dawn consumers would help make this a smooth transition. We're sorry that wasn't your reality. Know that we value your feedback greatly, and it will be relayed to our Research and Development team. We'd recommend giving our Dawn 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.

New Dawn dish soap scent
on March 23, 2025
Posted by: LouisianaGal
The new Dawn Dish soap scent makes me sick. My sinuses and allergies flare every time I use it. It's a shame you had to change it after 10 years! Now, I need to find another that is not such a smelly irritant. I can't find any other Dawn unscented or scented on local shelves, so goodbye Dawn.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Stink, stank, stunk!!!
on March 26, 2025
Posted by: Palmolive4me
Have you noticed that the only positive reviews are coming from "Influenster"? Every other single review for people that actually spent their hard earned money buying this garbage has been honest in saying that it smells putrid. I haven't used Dawn dish soap in close to a year since the original scent went away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Smell
on June 10, 2025
Posted by: Lois M
I hate that Dawn changed its original scent to “clean” scent. Way to perfume smelling! I am sensitive to smells and so disappointed that I will have to find another Dawn scent or product.

Overpowering New Scent

Posted by: Eddie3
from California
The new scent smelled pleasant at first but lingers way too long on dishes and skin and quickly becomes overpowering and sickening. I will be switching to a different brand
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible scent! Huge mistake!
on August 10, 2025
Posted by: KGranny
I would give it 0 stars if I could. The new scent is horrible. It triggered a migraine because it is overwhelming strong and doesn't rinse off. Awful decision by P&G to change a long-time favorite. You should have learned from New Coke to leave an icon alone. First time in my life that I had to buy something other than Dawn and as long as this is their "New Dawn", I will never buy your product again.
Response from dawn-dish.comBy Customer Care, August 13, 2025
We're sorry to hear you aren't enjoying the new scent of Dawn. We understand how difficult it can be when a long time favorite product has changed, so your feedback is very important to us. After the rigorous health and safety tests this soap has undergone, your experience certainly isn't something we'd expect. Your well-being is our top priority, so we hope you're feeling better now. If you haven't, we recommend that you discontinue using this soap. If the scent is not rinsing off your dishes, we recommend soaking them in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added to it. So our Safety Team can learn more from you and make sure you're ok, could you please give us a call when you have a chance? You can reach us at (800) 725-3296.
