Seriously
Its new smell is horrible and I will find another brand. Why change something that worked?
I bought 3 bottles recently and thought I just got a defective one but Nope!
I bet you can’t even use it on wildlife that needs rescuing.

Terrible new scent
The new scent is terrible. When my husband first used it, I checked the garbage to ensure there was no rotting fruit in it. The new scent is nauseating and gives me a headache. I am so disappointed. I’ve been a loyal user for decades. I can no longer have this product in my home, much less use it.

Firstly, thank you so much for your loving and using Dawn. We're so very sorry to hear that this has been your experience with this dish soap. We're always looking for ways to improve our dish soaps, so we sometimes change the scent of our products after getting positive feedback during extensive consumer testing. However, while scent perceptions and preferences will vary from person to person, we never expect the scent to be so strong that it makes users feel sick when used as directed. Please discontinue using it. This isn't something we take lightly, so we'd like to connect, make a report to our Quality and Safety Teams, and help you with this. Please call us at (800) 725-3296.

We'd like to mention that we haven't made any recent changes to the scent of our Dawn Platinum Fresh Rain. While we did change the name from Refreshing Rain to Fresh Rain in February 2024, this was a name change only. Your comments will be shared with our team, and we suggest giving another Dawn version a try if you'd prefer a different scent.

Awful “new scent”
The “new scent” is terrible. My nose and throat felt irritated right away and it was as if I could taste it from the fumes. I’ve never described soap as having fumes before but I’m switching soap brands now. This is terrible.

Horrible smell
I’ve been using Dawn for years and find the new smell of Dawn Platinum utterly revolting. It’s a chemically perfumy odor that’s hard to rinse away and sticks on plastic. Please go back to using more scents from things we’d actually put on plates—lemons, oranges, mint—even spaghetti would smell better than Dawn Platinum.

Annoying scent.
Why did you modify the formula of a product that people liked? That was foolish. Now I and many others can’t stand the smell and will find alternatives. Later you’ll likely revert back to the original formula but in the meantime many of us will have moved on.
Changing the formula was not a good business decision.
