My clothes smell like fish
I’ve had to wash my clothes several times with different detergent because I could not get the smell of fish out of them. The smell of fish is so powerful and strong on my clothes when they are all dried. I will be switching my laundry detergent and will not recommend these pods to anyone. Bad move for switching the scent.

    I thought new smell was bug spray
    I truly thought something was wrong with the laundry and someone spilled bug spray everywhere. New scent is terrible!

      Absolutely hate the scent now
      I’m confused how changing how the ‘scent blooms’ completely changed the smell of the product. Really upset because I bought this in bulk and have four bags of gross smelling laundry detergent >:( There was nothing wrong with the scent bloom previously, please change it back and make an announcement when you do because I’m never buying more of this ‘upgraded’ product

Thank you so much for sharing your comments, and we'll be sure to share that you'd like to see the past version of the Tide Spring Meadow Scent brought back.
        Fish smell!
        I could not figure out why my clean loads of laundry smelled like fish and after switching multiple products like my dryer sheets, I discovered it was the Spring Meadow pods! Even the bag and container smell! It’s awful. We’ve used Tide for years but I’ll be switching brands immediately. This needs to be fixed since it appears I’m not alone.

          Bad scent
          You need to change the scent back to how it was, or at least make another version of this new scent, but don't call it spring meadow. This new scent does smell awful. I have to use two dryer sheets just so that it won't smell that bad from the new spring meadow scent. I have loved the original spring meadow scent for years, but I'm very disappointed now. I'm sorry to say this but who ever led your research to change the smell, dropped the ball on this one.

            What were you thinking Tide?!?!?
            I have used these pods for years, and I always made sure to get the Spring Meadow scent because it always smelled great. The new scent that is now marketed as Spring Meadow is simply awful. Putrid does not even begin to describe it. I loathe having to wash my clothes now because it starts the disgusting scent cycle all over again. But because I spent so much money to buy the pods, I am hesitant to just throw them in the garbage. That said, I am not sure how much longer I can stand to use this product. My guess is they will end up in the garbage can because I cannot in good conscience give these away to my worst enemy (let alone a friend or family member).

            Thank you, William, for sharing your thoughts on your recently purchased Tide PODS™ with Spring Meadow Scent. We’re very sorry you’re unhappy with your purchase. When we design our products, we do extensive research and consumer testing to create features that we think you will love. We know that preferences can vary from person to person, though, so we really appreciate your taking the time to reach out. There was a slight change to the scent of Spring Meadow in Spring to improve scent bloom, or to help the fragrance reactivate, or bloom, when your garments are touched. We'll be sure to share your comments with the team. If you'd like more help with this problem, we'd be happy to assist. Give us a call any day of the week, starting at 9 AM, EST. Weekdays, we're here until 6 PM, EST. Saturday and Sunday, we're taking calls until 5:30 PM, EST. Dial 1 (800) 879-8433.
              Formulation change makes the pods smell horrendous
              Tide, please go back to the old formula or fix the putrid smell. It definitely isn’t just this scent. It’s every single tide pod - original, cold water spring meadow, the febreeze ones, the sports ones, the ones with downy, the light scent ones - they all had the same putrid smell when I checked them at the store It has to be whatever they added to the new formulation for all the tide pods or something. I smelled every single one. Until they change the formulation back or reformulate again, DO NOT BUY THE PODS. If you like tide, maybe sticking to liquid or powder is best but idk if those are even safe moving forward if they change those formulas with whatever they did to the pods. Maybe it’s best to transition early to a competitor….

                New scent is horrendous - Change the scent back!!
                I used some other tide pods recently with oxiclean that I didn’t like and was really looking forward to going back to our tried and true spring meadow only to my horror to find the scent has changed and it’s awful!!! It’s sooooooo strong and chemically smelling. I even cleaned my washer thinking that was the problem. Nope. Same outcome and the bags even smell horrendous. Came online to see if I was crazy only to find you changed the formulary! It’s a completely different scent - how can you still claim this to be spring meadow? Please change the formulary back! I will not be purchasing more and will be looking for a new detergent until this changes back. So disappointed.

                  Smells like fish
                  I’ve been using these Spring Meadow Tide pods which I purchase in bulk from a warehouse store for years. This last batch has a horrendous smell like rotting fish. The smell remains in my washer, dryer and on my clothing long after the laundry is done. I’m sorry to say I will be switching to a new brand.

                      Horrendous scent
                      Why in the world would Tide decide to change the scent so drastically is beyond me. Absolutely no one was complaining about the old scent. Horrible.

                        Can't use Spring Meadow scent anymore
                        Just like others wrote, I hate the new smell since you changed the formula. It lingers on some fabrics longer, so I had to rewash them with different detergent a couple times to get rid of it. I hope you bring back the old formula then I will be happy to buy it again.

                          Thanks for your longtime loyalty to Tide Spring Meadow and writing this review, WYAH! We want you to know that a lot of research and consumer feedback is taken into account to create products we believe everyone will love, so we're very sorry you had such an unpleasant experience with our new scent. Because your safety is most important to us, we'd recommend not using any more of these pods and to set the remainder aside, as we may need to retrieve them for a closer inspection. Kindly give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We hope to help you while also gathering some further details to share with our team.
                            The fall 2023 formulation is disgusting
                            This used to be my favorite product. Now it smells like solvent and the odor is so strong even after drying. I cannot even use more than one pod because if I do the smell is overwhelming. It does not smell like a spring meadow; it smells like a dry cleaning factory with gasoline on the floor.

                              New Smell is Awful!
                              We have used Spring Meadow pods for years and loved the mellow, fresh scent. Just bought some more pods and immediately noticed a different, strong, unpleasant smell to the clothes after they were washed. Not only does this unpleasant odor stick on the clothes, it permeates the house. We can’t stand wearing our clothes now due to the annoying odor. Will be returning the pods to Sam’s and buying a different brand.

                                I buy in bulk. Just bought a new stock and the PODS smell horrible. I had to rewash my clothes three times and still couldn’t lose the smell.

                                        I had several brand new items that I bought for back to school. The pod exploded all over the clothes in the washer and ruined them. There was sticky stuff with blue dye from the pod on our new clothes 😩😩

                                        We're so sorry to hear that this happened to your brand new back to school clothes. When using Tide, you shouldn't have to worry about this, so we're glad you shared your experience. Since these pods are water soluble, we suggest adding the pod in before your clothes, and make sure too many absorbent items aren't in it, plus your load size isn't too much. This may help prevent this in the future, but we have some tips to share with you that we'd like to go over to help remove the pod and dyes from your clothes. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

                                            Only used one pod for medium size wash load. Wash was clean and smelled fresh. After drying clothes still remained fresh smelling. No fabric softner was used to wash or dry clothes. First time using Spring Meadow pods will definitely continue to use. Immediately has become my favorite.
