New Formula? NO THANKS

Did the scent or formula recently change? I've been using this same deodorant for many years and the smell in my last is WAY stronger than normal and not in a good way. I don't like the smell at all. I much prefer the lighter cucumber smell - that's the whole reason I liked it in the first place. It's too powdery and overpowering. Please go back to the original!

Bring back previous scent - lost a customer

Agree that this new scent is unbearable. I can smell deodorant all day and that's after wiping my pits with a tissue to try to get most of it off. The odor gives me a headache. My clothes smell of strong perfume deodorant when I take them off, but not with the prior pleasant scent. I was a very loyal customer and used this product for years, but I won't buy it again, and I'm throwing away the one I just bought. Please please consider going back to the prior product.

New formula/scent is HORRIBLE

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I have been using this deodorant for over 10 years because it didn't have the powdery smell like others - it was crisp, subtle, and clean. Myself, as well as the thousands of other unhappy people who have given a 1 star review on this new formula, would LOVE if Dove LISTENED to their customers and GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMULA! Please! I will not be purchasing this product any longer until they go back.

A wonderful product is now slimy and useless

Ugg. This is now just a useless horrible product. It doesn't keep me dry, it doesn't keep from being stinky. It's slimy putting it on. The smell is gross. Which I would endure if it still worked but *SIGH* my favorite deodorant ever is gone. Why oh why oh why did the company change a brilliant product to one that is junk. I have to find a replacement, so if they ever change it back how will I know? I really hate this.

Bring back the 48 hr one

I've been using. This deodorant scent since I can remember, I typically get the 48 hr one until recently when that wasn't an option so I was forced to get the 72 hour one and wish I hadn't. This new formula doesn't work as well as the last one and after using it for some time have noticed that it leaves a powder residue on my clothes. I had a 48 hr one left and used that for a week to compare and sure enough it wasn't an issue. I wish I didn't have to switch but this might finally have me changing brands, which I'm sad about because this has been my scent for many years. I wish they would have kept the 48 hr as an option

New formulation is awful

The formula and active ingredient have both changed. Used the old one for years and very happy with it. This new formulation is awful - doesn't work as well and makes me itch. Very disappointed and, sadly, will no longer be a Dove customer as I look for an alternate product.

Disappointed

I used this for years, but now it doesn't keep me smelling fresh even 8 hours. And I'm not fond of the smell

Terrible New Scent!

The new scent is terrible. It's like grandma's powdery perfume instead of a tried-and-true crisp scent. Why mess with a good thing?? This has been my deodorant for SO long, but I just can't wear the new formula. Please go back to the old scent.

works great!

I tried this product because I love Dove products in general and wanted to test the coverage of this deodorant. It worked great, even on my most stress filled days!
