I used to LOVE dreft
I used to wash all my delicates with dreft along with any baby items. The new smell is terrible. I wish they would go back to the old one.

No More Newborn Smell
Growing up, I heard everyone talk about the wonderful newborn smell. It turns out that wonderful smell was the smell of Dreft. When I washed my firstborn’s clothing in anticipation of his arrival, I realized for the first time that the new baby smell I had always loved was from the detergent and not the babies themselves. I have used Dreft for each baby through the years. For our fourth and final baby, I bought a new large bottle of Dreft. I noticed a different smell immediately but thought I must be wrong and proceeded to wash all of my new baby’s items. Once I brought them out of the dryer, all I could smell is a florally-Tide type smell. I couldn’t believe it. I searched high and low for the original scent with no luck. There is no point in me buying Dreft if it just smells like any other detergent. I have found a new detergent and will be rewashing all of my baby’s clothing so that my poor newborn is not overpowered with the new, non desirable, run-of-the-mill scent. I have seen the other review replies. Until you come back with a Dreft Original Scent, I will not be buying.

Smell is overwhelming!
I don’t know who decided to change the scent, but this was a terrible move. It’s completely overwhelming to my old nose and I’m convinced it’s acrid to a baby’s tender senses. It’s like the old lady drenched in stinky perfume who insists on holding your little one. I’m not being sarcastic, it’s really that bad. You’d be better off buying store brand unscented baby detergent and using Dreft Blissfuls for that comforting scent of the old school Dreft.
