Perfumed Pitfall: Dawn's Latest Dish Soap Misses

Unfortunately, the company has opted for a fragrance that can only be described as reminiscent of an old lady's perfume. This overpowering and outdated aroma lingers not only on your dishes but also throughout your kitchen, making the post-meal cleanup process less than pleasant. What was once a task met with neutral scents or even refreshing aromas now feels like a journey back in time to a perfume counter of the past, where such heavy, floral scents might have been more at home. This choice of fragrance significantly detracts from the user experience, overshadowing the soap's commendable cleaning capabilities. It's disheartening to see a brand renowned for its reliability take such a misstep in product development, prioritizing a scent that may not appeal to a wide range of consumers. Hopefully, Dawn will take this feedback to heart and consider reintroducing the classic, less intrusive scents that many have come to know and love, or at least offer a variety that caters to different preferences.

Horrible smell

The new smell for this and Dawn blue is awful. I have had to throw out the full bottle. Looking for a new brand to try. The new fragrances trigger migraines in a few if my friends and my daughter. It smells as bad as AXE deodorant and lingers on items even after double rinsing

Thank you for reaching out about the recent scent change to Dawn Ultra Original. We want to clear up some confusion regarding your Dawn Platinum with Refreshing Rain purchase, as the last scent change for this soap was in June, 2022. However, there was a name change to “Fresh Rain”, and this has led people to think this scent was recently changed, too. Overall, your happiness and safety are our goals, and your message makes us sad; we deeply apologize for your disappointment and irritation.. Our Safety Team assures us that all who use Dawn, regardless of the fragrance, should be safe and comfortable during use. It's possible you may have a particular sensitivity to these fragrances, and for your comfort and safety, we ask you to stop using both of these dish soaps. Your feedback will be shared with the rest of the Dawn Team, too.. We hope you’ll remember the thorough clean Dawn provides, and consider giving a different version of our products a try. In our Dawn Free & Clear Line, we have two options available. One is Fragrance Free and the other has a light Lemon scent. It would be our pleasure to help you give one of these dish soaps, or another one a try. Call us any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 725-3296.

What did you do?

I just purchased a refill bottle and it smells awful! Makes me gag. The smell is nauseating and giving me a headache. I have been a loyal Dawn Platinum user for years but I just can’t anymore. I thought my child spilled something. I will now be searching for a new brand without that overpowering smell.

Refreshing Rain Scent Is Strong and Unpleasant

I have used Dawn for a very long time. Recently I purchased two 825 ml bottles and much to my surprise found the scent had changed to something similar to those nasty bargain brand laundry detergents. I can't stand to use it. Of course I no longer have the store receipt so I guess I'm out of luck trying to get a refund. WHY ISN'T THERE A BIG LABEL ON THE PRODUCT STATING THAT THE SCENT HAS CHANGED????

Your satisfaction means the world to us, and we want to assure you that our products are thoroughly tested to ensure they meet our quality standards. Every bottle of Dawn should deliver the same grease cleaning power you expect. We did have a formula update, but we wouldn't expect these results because of it. Please call us at (800) 725-3296 when you have a moment so we can learn more about your experience.

revolting scent

Have used dawn with much appreciation for years. Dawn platinum was great. Now it has a sickly unpleasant smell which wafts when hot water hits it. Can't stand it; it affects my breathing and absolutely is not like refreshing rain! Bring back the previous scent!

New Scent is HORRIBLE

I love dawn soap but the new scent is absolutely awful and I can’t use the product. Not only does it smell bad when using it, it lingers on dishes and smells and tastes like the fragrance. I hope Dawn will communicate about this and go back to the old fragrance. If this was a cost saving measure it wasn’t worth it! I can’t use my brand new bottle

Why did the scent change?!?!

I’ve been using Dawn Platinum for years and have always loved it. Recently my son picked up a new refill bottle and the scent is completely different. It’s so strong I get a migraine when someone opens the bottle. I’m sensitive to scents and the original version was perfect but this new version is absolutely awful. You should really offer Platinum in a scent free version or go back to the original scent.

Scent

PLEASE bring back the old Dawn scent. The new scent is awful and so strong. The entire house smells like it when I had one pan soaking in the sink with a little dawn. The old Dawn scent was perfect. I love Dawn for so many reasons but I will have to switch if the new scent remains.

Hate it! Will be finding a new dishwashing liquid.

Like the other reviewers, I have been using Dawn for years and loved the Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain. When I started using the new bottle I found that the scent was different. I had to check to see if I had purchased the wrong product, but hadn't. My whole family noticed the difference and hate the new scent. I came to this website to see what was going on and glad to know that it is not just me. I am so disappointed. I too feel that there should have been notified of a new formula on the label. We will be finding a new dishwashing liquid.

Love Dawn BUT rain scent makes gag

I’ve used Dawn for years unfortunately it’s not longer very sudsy like it once was no matter how much you put in the sink. I don’t like all these new scent and the rain one is the worst. Don’t know why but literally makes me gag. Walmart Hesperia can’t you please stick some original scent Dawn it’s never there when I need to purchase and considering changing brands.

We're sorry to hear that this has been your experience, and we hope that you're feeling better. We can assure you that our Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain/Fresh Rain has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. As well, our products go through many quality checks to ensure that you can get the best possible results with them, and we'd like to mention that a lack of suds doesn't mean that your dishes aren't getting a great clean. However, if you'd prefer to see more suds, we suggest using more dishwashing liquid if you have hard water. If you haven't already, we recommend that you discontinue use of our Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain/Fresh Rain and give another Dawn version a try instead. Our Dawn Free & Clear features our lightest scent, and our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free is unscented. Your comments will be shared, and we'd also like to learn more and gather some additional details for our Safety and Quality Teams. When you have a moment, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296.
