I used the milk and honey antibacterial version for years. That was discontinued so I switched to the moisturizing version which was still great. This new scent rework is terrible, somehow like cleaning alcohol mixed with baby powder. Please bring back the original scent (antibacterial milk and honey would be great too). Honestly 1 star for the new scent the second is for hope it gets fixed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Softsoap thanks you for using our Milk & Honey for so long! We're sorry you don't love the new scent. We hope one of our other naturally scented Softsoaps will work for you.
We have used the original SoftSoap milk and golden honey for years because it didn't smell like perfume. The new formula smells awful. Just like every other fake smelling scent out there. Time to find a new brand and scent.

Softsoap thanks you for being long-time users! We're disappointed you don't like our new Milk & Honey formula. Please call 1-800-255-7552 and share your experience with us. We want to try to help.
You changed the Milk & Honey fragrance a while ago so I went and stocked up on the original fragrance but it was hard to find so I suspect other customers did the same thing. Now that I've run out, I'll have to find another brand. The new fragrance is terrible and too "perfumey". Literally makes me nauseous. Please bring back the original!

I’ve been a loyal & long time buyer of SoftSoap’s Milk & Golden Honey moisturizing hand soap. No longer! I’m looking for a different hand wash brand now that they changed not just the name, but the formula & scent.
Having fragrance sensitivities develop in my 30’s has made it hard to find scents that don’t overwhelm with their scent &/or make me feel literally nauseous.
I loved the Milk & Golden Honey scent. It was wonderful. I touted its praises to my family & friends. I needed a new refill bottle so I bought one from the store. Noticed the Golden was dropped from the label. Figured it was just to save ink/printing costs. No mention on the bottle about a new scent or formula. Unfortunately this new itineration is awful! It now has a floral scent that overwhelming clings to the skin even after rinsing and worse, makes me literally nauseous.
I would have given the Milk & GOLDEN Honey scent 5 stars, but this Milk & Honey 1 star. Will NEVER buy it again! Searching for other soap brands now to buy. Will give the Milk & Honey away or throw it away and my money down the drain.

Thank you for your loyalty! We're sorry to hear how our new formula doesn't work for you. Please call us at 1-800-255-7552, and tell our team about your experience so we can try to make it right.
Milk and Golden Honey is the only hand soap I have used for years and I love the smell and how gentle it is on my sensitive skin. I stocked up when I saw they changed the formula. The new soap smells unpleasant and dries out my skin as I’ve seen many other reviewers say. I’m sad to be running out of my supply of the original! This was the perfect soap for people with smell and skin sensitivities. I hope Softsoap takes all of these reviews into consideration.

We're sorry to hear our new Milk & Honey fragrance doesn't work for you, We hope you can find another of our softer-fragrance hand soaps that can give your hands the sweetness they deserve.
I loved the old Milk and Honey hand soap, and was deeply disappointed that they thought changing it to a new scent was necessary. The new scent is way too strong, with a perfume smell. Between the changes in this one, and the Aloe Vera soap, I think I am just done with the Softsoap brand after many years.
