This has been the ONLY detergent I’ve been buying for as long as I can remember. I’m a cancer patient with incredibly sensitive skin, whatever change you made gives me a headache because the smell is so strong and caused my skin to break out. Anytime things change you should be required to put it on the bottle!! I have enough to worry about in my life, now I have to deal with this because of an unnecessary formula change! You lost me as a very long time customer…

I have used this detergent for as long as I can remember. The most recent bottle I purchased definitively smells different. If you didn’t change your formula, as you’ve stated in other review feedback, something went wrong in the production process. It’s awful. In fact, it is so irritating as a smell, it causes my eyes to water and induces sneezing. You may need to issue a recall.

I cannot believe they changed the scent of Tide w/ Downy April Fresh!! I used it for years and was so blindsided by this new scent. Now I don’t have a go to detergent. The new version smells terrible. I would use the original or bleach alternative scents as I liked those as well, but they changed those too! Smh, I don’t useTide at all now. I tried the Tide w/ Downy powder after reading the reviews of the other many unsatisfied customers, and someone gave a heads up that it still has the former scent. It does but it’s not the same as the liquid. While the scent is the original it’s a little weaker and doesn’t seem to clean as well. Why change a good thing??

Hi Arlette! We completely understand your frustrations. If you're not seeing the suds you want, it could be that you're using the HE version of our Tide Plus a Touch of Downy. Our HE detergents are specifically designed to be low sudsing, because too many suds will damage an HE machine. The great news is that even with low suds, you're getting a great clean with a touch of Downy softness!

I was floored (like, literally almost fell over from the scent) when the new formula was introduced. Before the change, i had found the perfect laundry detergent--with just a touch of scent. Because it changed, I started using a competitor's unscented brand. I have been trying the separate april fresh scent beads, but they are also too strong, and simply not the same scent. The old Tide with Downy had a very nice scent, and the new version isn't a stronger version of it... it seems totally different and yucky. I still had half a bottle left of the old scent that I have been saving, and on a whim I decided to use some on my laundry detergent recently. It reminded me of how wonderful the old scent was, and how disappointed I am about the change. I have a family of 5 plus a dog, so we do a LOT of laundry. Please find a way to bring back the old product! If people want strong smelling laundry, they should be advised on the label that is it stronger. It is no longer a "touch of downy". The new version announces to everyone who gets close to me that I perfumed up my clothes with heavy detergents. Not the message I want to send.

This detergent does an excellent job at cleaning clothes. It is one of the few detergents that i've tried that removes stain with little work from me. The scent from the bottle and while washing is so lovely. But once I put the clothes in the dryer or leave them to hang dry, the scent is gone. I know the cleaning aspect is what's important from a detergent. But the scent is really important to me as well. I really wish that the scent would stay even a little on my clothes because it truly is a lovely scent.

While we're glad to hear that you're enjoying a great clean with Tide, Elizabeth, we're sorry that the scent wasn't as long-lasting as you would have liked.

Fragrance may fade if the container has been opened for a long time, so we recommend making sure you're using this product within a year.

I've used Tide with Downy for YEARS. Several months ago, I brought some home and thought I got a bad batch - it smelled so bad. I literally took it back and to my dismay, found they all smelled like that. I contacted TIDE and they said they did consumer research and have updated the scent. Super bad decision. Remember when Coke changed their formula (New Coke) and we lost our minds about that? That switched it back and all was right with the world. I'm writing this now as my supply of "old" Tide with Downy is just about out and I'm crushed. Tide - be like Coke, go back to the original formulas and scents.

So not only does P&G do away with the familiar scent of April Fresh Downy, but now it has altered the formula for the detergent, too. P&G needs to listen to consumers and bring back the "classic" scent of April Fresh Downy, which will then help Tide, too.

Janet, we can completely understand missing the familiar scent you're used to. While the April Fresh scent has been recently updated to match the liquid fabric softener, there haven't been any other changes to the Tide formula. We'd certainly like to hear more about your experience.

Of a norm I prefer a different brand but saw the Downy added and knowing Tide is probably most preferred and purchased I was excited to give it a try! The softness, fresh smell, static control softener gives and best yet not having to buy that extra Downy and take the time to dilute it when putting it in. First load was full of static. :( and really no Downy smell. So having to add Downy anyway to this product made it a no brainer...disappointed.

I Love This Detergent!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have been a loyal Tide user for many years, as this is the detergent that my everyone in my family has used for decades. I recently tried the Tide Plus a Touch of Downy and loved it! I normally use regular Tide and Downy separately. This product is very convenient because it has both products combined in one. This product cleans my clothes the same as the other Tide products, but it also has Downy included in the formula so that my clothes come out soft, also. I purchased the HE formula for my front-load washer and have had no problems with over-sudsing. My clothes are coming out clean and soft and they smell very "April Fresh", which I very much enjoy. I especially love using this product to wash bedding and towels, because of the extra softness and freshness it provides them with. I love that this product is offered in the large 138 fl. oz. container, which lasts for a long time. This will definitely be a product I will continue to use! :)

Very Unpleasant Scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

We got the new Tide with Downey when we purchased our new washing machine. We were told we had to use the "he" type of detergent so we bought it where we bought the washer. After I washed our clothes, sheets, tablecloths and towels with the new detergent my husband began complaining saying the smell is unbearable. We recently purchased two new recliners (April 2014) and the smell from the detergent got into the fibers from our clothing and made them smell obnoxious as well. The are currently sitting outside airing out...but my husband still smells the Tide smell. This has been a huge headache for me. Even though I've found a new detergent that has no fragrance there are still a lot of things that we've washed with the Tide in our house. I bought the new washer to save water...I'm not saving water when I have to rewash everything. Some things need two washings to remove the smell. My husband wants to send the chairs back because he can't stand the smell. I hope with all my heart that leaving them in the back yard for a few days helps. I'm really upset about this. I have used Tide all my life and it really feels bad to have this big of a problem with it.

Why the new scent???!

The new scent on the Tide with a Touch of Downy April Fresh is horrible. Why would you change it from the original? I have used Tide for the past 15 years and have always loved it. I loved it even more when you added the Downy to it. I will not be purchasing this product again. Ever. I cannot stand the candy-like sweet smell. Really disappointed.
