Disgusting new smell

Unsure of who decided to change the scent and who agreed to it, the whole departments should get fired. The new scent smells like a cheap overpowering laundry soap, too strong and too “cheap”. Make a new scent? Sure! But don’t discontinue the original accent.

Smells GRRRREAT....cuts grease....cleans SO WELL!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE THIS PRODUCT.. from the great platinum bottle that goes so well with my appliances, to the product in the bottle! It doesn't much product to clean, it's concentrated, smells great, and cleans with little scrubbing! Love it!

Change in scent is terrible!

I have long used Dawn Ultra Platinum and loved it. I just bought a new bottle and the scent was changed! Now it smells like old lady perfume. You know, the cloying, overly-floral kind that makes you want to choke. I'm sad I will have to look for a new product now! Dawn has been so great for its grease cutting properties. But if it stinks like this, I won't be able to use it anymore. Yuck.

Horrible overpowering new scent

Bought two 90oz jugs of Dawn Platinum Advanced Power at our local club store and was sad to find this product now has an overpowering new scent. Checked the label and see it says “New & Improved Fresh Scent”. This scent bothers our whole family and it smells like we’re washing our dishes in cheap laundry detergent. We’ll be taking this back to the store and from other reviews it sounds like they’ve also changed original Dawn scent, so I’ll be on the hunt for a new product. I’ve loved Dawn since I started using it in the 90s, so this is a sad day.

New scent is utterly disgusting and nauseating

I’ve been using Dawn since God was a boy but not anymore. The new scent is so disgusting that it burns my eyes and makes me nauseous. And the smell lingers in all of my dishes so I also get to taste this putrid smell. I will never buy Dawn again so long as that is the scent.

Firstly, thank you so much for your many years of loyalty and support. We're so very sorry to hear you had this experience with your most recent bottle of Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain. This isn't what we expect with our quality and safety checks when using it as directed, especially since we have not had a scent change with this product. Please discontinue using it. To get rid of the scent, please soak your dishes in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added to it. To prevent it from happening again, wash these dishes immediately and rinse them thoroughly. This isn't something we take lightly, so we'd like to make a detailed report to our Quality and Safety Teams and help. Please call us at (800) 725-3296.

New scent is TERRIBLE!

Why would Dawn change the scent to this disgustingly sweet nasty smell that lingers on your skin and dishes????!!! I am extremely disappointed. The original scent was so pleasant, nice and clean smelling. Why did you make this huge mistake to change what is perfect? I am throwing this new scent crap away. Thanks a lot Dawn.

Unpleasantly surprised

Unpleasantly surprised by the new scent. I agree with all the recent reviews - remove the scent. It's unnecessary. Most of us are loyal Dawn consumers and the change is unwelcome. I suggest offering a scented formula if you feel there's a market for it - but CLEARLY state it on the packaging. The formula still seems to lather and clean effectively.

Why the awful smell? Why???

If I could give this 0 stars I would. Dawn is still the best dish soap to clean almost anything including dishes, but with this new scent it has become the worst thing ever. Really. The. Worst. Thing. Ever. It simply stinks. It's actually nauseating. and then the odor lingers in my kitchen and on the dishes, even when I over-rinse them. Please, get rid of all scent. I want to keep using this, but I am going to have to stop.

Multipurpose cleaner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my favorite household products. I not only use it for dishes, I also use it to quickly wash away food stains on clothes, and food stains on my furniture. It has a fresh, clean scent and it also gentle on my hands.

AWFUL SCENT

The new Refreshing Rain scent is harsh and sends a spike right up my nose. It does not wash off hands and stays on dishes and sponges. No amount of extra scrubbing seems to remove it. The scent is extremely sharp and hurts the inside of my sinuses. I have smelt this exact aromachemical in some perfumes before and I cannot wear them due to the chemical smell. Why would Dawn use this in their dishwashing liquid? It triggers my allergies, asthma and induces migraines. Had to throw out a practically brand new bottle because of the shrill scent. I prefer the original scent of Dawn. The noxious smelling aromachemical is most likely Norlimbanol, Amberwood, Cetalox or Ambroxan. If you can't stand those notes used in perfume - stay away from Dawn's Refreshing Rain dishwashing liquid.
