What Customers Are Saying

The product has an overpowering, unpleasant scent that many customers find cloying and resembling toilet cleaner. The strong fragrance lingers excessively on clothes and throughout the home, causing headaches and allergic reactions for some users. Customers express strong nostalgia for the previous, more subtle and pleasant scent they were accustomed to. There is a widespread plea for the manufacturer to revert to the original, classic scent that customers have come to expect and appreciate over the years.

New Formula

Would Not Recommend

I have been using this product for decades. After using the new formula I have been breaking out in Eczema and hives all over my body. My face swole and I had to go to the hospital. What ever is in this new formula is perfumed and I’m very disappointed that I can no longer have a safe detergent to purchase.

The new scent gives me a headache!

Would Not Recommend

I've been a loyal Tide original user for over 2 decades but the new scent is so horribly overpowering that I get a headache. I had to put my clothes back through the wash cycle without detergent TWICE just to lower the scent enough to be able to wear them.

Hate the scent

Would Not Recommend

I've been using Tide Original powder for decades. A year or so ago, they changed the scent. I am allergic to perfumes, and cannot tolerate the new scent. I've seen many reviews that say the same. Bring back the original scent, and I'll return. But for now, no more Tide. :(

Powder detergent off scent

Would Not Recommend

I changed back to powder after advised that it would prevent build up of mold in my front load washer door that the liquid detergent produces. The smell is very off setting, not like the original. It did prevent mold build up as was my original goal. Thinking I just got a bad box I bought a second smaller box. Same smell. Very deceiving saying original scent when clearly it had changed. Time to change brands. Very disappointing. If you go back to your original formula, I will be a returning c...

Sickening smell

Would Not Recommend

Clothes come out smelling as if they have never even been washed! I’ve used Tide for40 years and tide changed the scent of original Tide several years ago but now the last box i opened is sickening to smell! The clothes don’t smell fresh or clean when coming out of the washer and after drying they don’t smell clean! Tide, you have already gotten rid of clean breeze scent, so I had to start using the “original” that WAS NOT original anymore. Now I’ll have to find another detergent just like every...

I loved the original scent

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So we’ve wasted more of our hard earned money on a trusted product. I understand the need to change things but don’t continue to call it original. The new smell is horrendous. I’ve not only got a whole huge box of detergent I can’t use, I’ve also got to rehash my clothes! And search for a new detergent my husband won’t be allergic to. Stupid decision Proctor

Obnoxious scent

Would Not Recommend

My family has always used tide. I wanted to go back to the original scent, but it is not the original scent. I have allergies, and the “new original” Tide irritates them and gives me a severe headache. I have also tried using the scent free tide, and the clothes don’t smell clean it all. Please go back to your original scent… It’s much better. If the scent of the original Tide remains the same, I will have to start looking for new detergent.

HORRIBLE SMELL

Would Not Recommend

Why do manufacturers feel they have to change a great product? This new smell is horrible. The entire house smells terrible and I have to rinse the clothes a second time to try to get rid of the overbearing smell. Lucky me, I bought two bottles.

Tide simply clean and Sensitive detergent

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smell is HORRIBLE!!!! I have to wash my clothes twice just to try to get the scent out.. its unbearable not satisfied with this product, the best thing about washing clothes is that fresh clean smell, but smelling them now after washing them with Tide just puts me in a foul mood never thought that would happen with laundry.

Just bought last box

Would Not Recommend

I just bought my last box of Tide original. I started having an allergic reaction to it on my eyes and armpits. I know you changed something with scent, and who knows what else. I used it for cloth diapers and it was great. But now I'm done. I am visiting the dermatologist now for skin allergens because you messed with a staple product. Ugh. Do I recommend it? It's great if your don't react to it! And you can reach out to me via email. I won't be calling.

I’m not buying Tide ever again

Would Not Recommend

I’m so disappointed in the new Tide scent. It smells like a cheap chemical dominated product. We are being gaslighted by efficiency experts who study environmental issues and I don’t believe they can’t do better. People like fragrance and somehow anything that brings life and joy they seem to ban- misery loves company. I’m not purchasing anymore.

So disappointed. Doesn’t work for cloth diapers.

Would Not Recommend

I’ve been using tide powder for my cloth diapers for almost 3 years and have just needed to buy more so this is my first time using the new formula. It’s HORRIBLE! My cloth diapers are not getting clean at all. It’s frustrating when a good thing is changed and is made worse. This has been a major complaint amongst the cloth diapering community.

Scent is not the same!

Would Recommend

I have been looking for the original scent and this isn’t it, I thought I had a bad batch so ended up buying another and sure enough it smelled the same. You guys should definitely bring back the old classic scent as it smelled fresher and not at chemically as the new one.
