Awful New scent (Aquarium liquid hand soap)

Terrible new scent! PLEASE bring back the old formula that was virtually fragrance free! We have been using the Aquarium Liquid Hand soap for years and wouldn't buy any other brand. We have many food and fragrance allergies in my family and trusted Softsoap until now. The new scent is awful and gives me a headache. Time to find a new company - no longer a softsoap customer since there are no longer any fragrance free options. You are no longer providing an option to consumers who have allergies and sensitivities to smells/scents.
Good soap

Good soap and enjoy the refill size. Would really love for these big corporations to find a way to reduce the thick plastic though

Softsoap Aquarium - Nauseating New Scent

My family has used Softsoap Aquarium for many years because it was fragrance-free. The new scent is nauseating and lingers on our hands. After 20 years, I need to find a new fragrance-free hand soap. I recently purchased 3 six-packs of Softsoap Aquarium and will throw away all 18 bottles due to the terrible new scent. Please revert to the previous fragrance-free formula. Thank you.
Change back to the old scent

My family and I have used this product loyally for many, many years. The fragrance is now intolerable. It used to be very light. Now the perfume smell is so strong, it triggers my allergies and asthma and causes my husband and I to have headaches. I am very disappointed. Please bring back the originally formulation. Now I have to look for a new hand soap.

I strongly dislike the new scent for Aquarium Softsoap. After washing hands, continue to smell for a while. Why was the scent changed? Only brand I bought for years, but I will no longer buy.
Softsoap Aquarium Terrible New Scent

Aquarium Softsoap is the only liquid soap my family has used for many years. The new scent is terrible, and I agree with the reviewers who say it triggers their fragrance sensitivities. You have lost a loyal customer. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL SCENT.

I want to add my voice to the chorus here. The new scent is terrible! Makes me feel sick. The old scent was hardly noticeable, barely anything if anything at all....so just fresh and clean. This one is vaguely fruity in an artificial bad way. PLEASE bring back the original! I have bought it for years and have it at 6 sinks and showers in my house. You are forcing me to search for another brand.
Love it!

After using the Softsoap Aquarium series soap at every sink in my house for years, maybe even decades, I can no longer buy this soap. This was my go-to soap, as the previous formula didn't irritate those who are sensitive to scented soaps. The new scent is heavy and irritates skin. It lingers on hands and transfers to food during handling after washing. Please bring back the old formula. Whatever new marketshare is gained through this new scent is unlikely to make up for the lost marketshare by those of us who can no longer buy this product.
Please go back to the old scent

I have been faithfully buying this hand soap for many years. I have allergies and sensitive skin. This last refill for the aquarium collection I noticed right away a new fragrance. I didn't see any warning on the bottle so I wasn't prepared for the overwhelming smell. It is also causing my hands to itch after using it. Luckily I have an older bottle upstairs because a lot of times I have to run to the bathroom to re-wash my hands after using the new refill in the kitchen.
Why did you change the scent?

I always used this hand soap because I loved the scent. It's been changed and now It's not unique. It smells like any old perfumey soap. Lease change it back!

Our household has sensitivities to strong fragrances. This was the only hand soap we used, until now. The formula/scent has changed for the worse and we had to throw it out. I spent 45 minutes smelling every hand soap at the store and nothing compared to what this soap used to be. Disappointing!!
I would not buy this product again

This soap used to be great. It lathered well and was lightly/neutral scented, if any. Then all of a sudden my new stock changed. I thought I bought the wrong bottle or something. Nope. The new fragrance is perfumy. Clean to me is neutral. I don't want my hands smelling like something before I prepare or handle food. This soap used to be the gold standard. It was worth paying extra for. This soap was becoming hard to find the shelves, seemingly for a good reason. The generic store brands were unscented but never lathered well. RIP Aquarium Softsoap. Please bring back the old formula.
too runny, like water

This soap is extremely runny, like water. Even when shaking it up or adding it to a thicker liquid soap, it's like water and squirts all over my sink. I can't even keep it on my hands. I don't know if this bottle was defective or if they are all like this but I just didn't like it at all.

I am sensitive to fragrances and have been using Softsoap for years, because it cleans effectively, lathers well, and does not have a strong fragrance. It was my favorite kind of liquid soap--until now. The new fragrance is too strong and irritates me to the point of triggering headaches; it's also unpleasant and cheap smelling. Therefore, I will not be buying this soap anymore unless the fragrance is changed to something better and milder. Please bring back the previous fragrance; it was perfect. As the saying goes, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."
