New fragrance is unpleasant; not buying it ever again and I used to love it. Big mistake. Why did you change it? This is really bad. I am throwing out the rest of the refill bottle. I can't even use it up. It is going in the trash today.
Pros: Moisturizing
Cons: Unpleasant Smell
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am extremely disappointed with the new scent of Softsoap milk and honey. I've been buying this soap for many, many years. I have a hyper sensitivity to manufactured smells and the original milk and honey was perfect for my scent problem by not bothering me at all. The new formulation of scent is horrible, I really do not like it. I am now sad and confounded and on having to find a new soap.
Pros: Attractive Packaging, Cleans Effectively, Easy To Use, Kills Bacteria, Locks in Moisture, Long Lasting, Moisturizing, Softens Hands
Cons: Unpleasant Smell
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry that our new formula wasn't quite right for you but we'll be sure to pass your thoughts as we continue to improve our products!
I loved and used this soap for years. I don't know why they decided to change the scent, but now it is absolutely nauseating. I won't be using it anymore unless it is changed back.
Cons: Unpleasant Smell
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for letting us know how you feel. We're all about good smells, so we're sad to know that our reformulation missed the mark for you. We'll keep this in mind for the future!
I was surprised to see the scent had changed (written on refill container), as there was nothing wrong with the original scent - it was amazing and light. This new scent is horrific. Not only do I have to return the two refills I purchased, but now I have to find a new soap. Thanks for nothing.
Cons: Unpleasant Smell
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're so sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the fragrance. Thank you for your feedback!
I'm in 100% agreement with the rest of the comments below. The new fragrance of Milk and Honey is unbearable! I've had hyper-sensory issues my whole life... especially with sensitivities to chemicals and strong smells. I have depended on Softsoap Milk and Golden Honey for years. It's the only hand soap I've been able to use. In fact, it was major contributor to my getting through the Covid-19 pandemic with its mild, light scent and moisturizers to keep my hands from drying out through repeated washings. However, this new fragrance is nauseating. Why on earth would you decide to change this "iconic" soap? Who on the product development team thought "Hey, I've got a great idea!"? You know who else thought they had a great idea? Coca-Cola circa 1985. No one asked for New Coke... and no one wanted New Coke. Why try to improve upon a formula which works, and which so many people adore and count on? Since you've already gone down the path of Coca-Cola, please continue down that path: Admit you made a mistake and give us back the "Coca-Cola Classic" of Softsoap Milk and Golden Honey. We're all counting on you to do the right thing.
I've been using their Milk and Honey hand soap for years, because it had a light, pleasant honey smell and didn't dry out my hands. But this new scent is awful. It's so strong you can smell it in the room, it smells like very strong, cloying floral perfume. It gives me a headache. Now I have to find a new soap to try, because I will not be buying Soft Soap anymore.
Cons: Unpleasant Smell

This used to have a subtle sweet smell. It now has a nauseating floral smell. It gives me an immediate headache and makes me sneeze! Will be throwing this new bottle away and never purchasing again. Please change the scent back :(
