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.

Would Not RecommendI’ve tried to self adjust with the new scent but I just can’t. As much as I love tide. I’ve literally used it my whole life (36 years) ! But I can’t anymore. I’m breaking up with tide until the old original scent comes back. Seriously if it ain’t broke, why fix it?! Tide was the BEST laundry detergent hands down. No question. And then you tried to make it even better by fixing it, but you broke it. Along with my heart 😔

Scoop buried in box
Would RecommendI would make 1 change. It is frustrating trying to dig down thru powder to get the scoop. Can it be placed at the top. I always spill a bit searching. Thank you

Had to change the formula
Would Not RecommendI’ve used tide my whole life never had any issues and then all of a sudden the last batch seems like I’m highly allergic to it. I’ve changed to a diff detergent for sensitive skin and it’s helped a lot . Kinda disappointed as I loved tide.

Headache-inducing chemical smell
Would Not RecommendWhy why why did you change the smell? Original Powdered Tide used to be one of the best products on the detergent aisle. It was my go-to for deep stain removal, whites, workout clothes and my boys’ sports uniforms. And for everything else I used Tide Pods (spring meadow.) I stock up for months so I didn’t even realize the scent had changed until this weekend. I first noticed it with my whites using the powder— the smell was so strong I thought I had mistakenly spilled some shower cleaner. For my...

Smells like vomit
Would Not RecommendWhat happened to the original tide scent? This new scent is horrible it smells rancid, like vomit. I will never purchase another bottle of tide original scent, the “original” original scent smelled great. The scent now is just gross.

Tide Pods Smell is awful

Get the Mountain Spring powder!
Would RecommendFor everyone who deplores the new "original" scent as much as I do, get the Mountain Spring powder. Seriously. It's a much lighter fragrance that just smells "clean", and isn't sickeningly sweet and cloying. No, it doesn't smell like the old "original" scent, but it definitely comes close to it.

Tide
Would RecommendI started back using tide powder recently and really enjoy it the smell I love especially when using to clean the house. My only issue is that recently I am having a hard time finding tide powder in original scent. And noticed that the weight is still the same on the large box but it now says 113 loads where it used to say 102 loads. But the weight and ounces are still the same. Are you taking up the price on this size soon and trying to fool us into thinking is it is more when it is really the ...

Not even close to ORIGINAL SCENT Tide!
Would Not RecommendWhat happened to the ORIGINAL Tide scent I LOVED as a kid??!!! The new scent is over-powering floral and does not come close to the REAL original!! Doing laundry is a pain - at least take me back to my childhood scent to make the task bearable!

It's a shame calling this "Original"
Would Not RecommendWhat happened to the scent everyone loved?? Why change a good thing? To save money. That's why. I'm sure I'm going to get a canned reply about how this was "researched a whole bunch to make sure..." blah blah, ad nauseum. Bring back the ORIGINAL "original" scent and I bet you'll see your reviews take a pretty big jump That said, I'm hugely disappointed by the latest formulation. The scent is not refreshing. It's overpowering. It's also not the original scent. It cleans fine I suppose. ...

Please bring back the original scent
Would Not RecommendPlease bring back the original scent. The new scent is so sweet and gross, not fresh like it used to be. The “try Mountain Spring” suggestion is no good, either. It doesn’t smell like the original.

The new scent is repulsive
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a loyal Tide consumer for decades, and was able to tolerate formula and scent changes in the past. This latest change however, is just awful, it doesn't smell clean just very perfumed. Family and friends say the same, that they're on the hunt for a replacement brand. Their recommendations to use fragrance free, or other scents is just aggravating. Tide now has an excessive amount of options on the shelves, why mess with the OG. I hope...

New Scent is Disgusting!
Would Not RecommendThe new scent of Tide original is gross! I had to throw the entire box away. After 25 years of Tide I am switching to a different brand now. Why couldn’t you just leave the “Original” the “Original”?!

Tide Original now with a new STENCH!
Would Not RecommendPlease fire whoever decided to change the Original Scent Tide powder to whatever horrific stench this nightmare is. My family has been using Tide since the 70's and never had a problem. Now, even after leaving the box in the garage for 2 weeks it still reeks of a chemical spill. On top of that, the smell won't leave the clothes even after repeated washings (4) without any detergent! Please go back to the Original formula and save the "updates" for other products designed for heavy smokers who li...
