REFORMULATED PRODUCT HAS HORRIBLE ODOR
Would Not RecommendThe new product being sold as "original formula" has a very unpleasant and overpowering smell, reminiscent of a public bathroom at a highway rest stop. And it lingers for days. We loved Murphy's for generations for its gentle and natural scent appropriate for domestic use in a beautiful home. So disappointing. Why would they change what works so well? Help!

It seems like citronella oil is in all the Murphy’s Original bottles. WHY?????? It is a horrible smell and it gags me! Why in the name of all that’s holy would you do this

Hi there! We wanted to let you know that while our Murphy's oild wood soap does have a citrus scent, it is not from citronella.
Excellent quality Excellent product
Ive had horses my whole life and the saddles, boots and bridles are very expensive. I only use pure Murphy's on my nice Dressage saddles and its never let me down..all the girls in my training barn know to only use Murphy's. I have bridles that are over 25 years old in perfect shape because of this fine product. I hope nothing ever changes....I use Murphy's for everything. Excellent quality Excellent product

If not broke, don't fix it
I haven't use it much but reading the reviews it's not as good as the old. Why do companies change things if the product sells well as is. I personally think they hire new, young people that probably don't use the product, but get the great idea to change what's working. Job security I guess they think.
