This has been my favorite soap for years. I got a new refill of it the other day, and I am not a fan of the new fragrance. It does not smell good at all.

We're so sorry that you don't enjoy our new Milk & Honey scent. We'll share your feedback with our team. Have a great day!
I have been purchasing this soap for years and it had a wonderful fragrance. I purchased several of the large refills over the weekend and much to my surprise (more like disgust), the fragrance had been changed. It is horrible and I noticed it right away. I did not mention it to the rest of the family, but believe me they noticed as well and brought it to my attention. If you guys keep this fragrance instead of returning to the old fragrance, I will be jumping ship and leaving Softsoap behind. Bad decision and whoever thought this was a good idea wasn't very bright -- even worse are those that smelled it and thought it was an improvement.
Cons: Unpleasant Smell
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had been using this soap for years because I am very sensitive to any perfumey smells and get headaches easily. I also prefer not to buy antibacterial soaps. I bought the refill jug and filled one of my soaps yesterday. I started getting headaches, and couldn't figure out why. Then I realized my hands smelled like perfume. I kept washing and washing, and it was getting worse. It took me a bit to put it together and actually smell the soap. I have now washed my hands with dish soap, then hand sanitizer (neither of which worked) then 91% isopropyl alcohol, which finally took away some of the odor, but not all. Now I have a jug of soap that I can't use and can't put my hands near my face without getting a headache.

I've been buying Milk and Honey for years. I would only buy name brand Softsoap because the off brands couldn't get the smell right. I just noticed my new refill bottle for Softsoap said "new fragrance" at the top. The smell is awful. I will probably be throwing this refill bottle away and all my pumps that I just refilled. Now to the search for a new soap. So frustrating.....

I've used this product for at least 10 years, probably longer, but the new, completely unnecessary changes have ruined it. It smells very strong and very bad, and it dries out your skin. Time to switch to a new brand! I won't even be finishing the refill sized bottle I bought, straight to the trash can, what a waste.

AWFUL bad perfume smell and extremely drying. LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS AND GO BACK!! Golden Milk and Honey----so much better!!! Will not be buying this new and not improved version. Voiced my opinion in an email and got a reply about "people like the new scent better".....UM, NO! Reviews don't lie. (not a free sample--paying customer)
