Tidepod Scent Overpowering: A Review

I recently purchased Tide 4-in-1 Ultra Oxi original scent pods from Costco, expecting the same effective cleaning and mild 'clean and fresh' scent I've come to appreciate in their previous products. However, my experience with this new product has been quite different.

At first use, the scent was overwhelmingly overpowering, which caught me off guard. I had thought it would dissipate over time, but unfortunately, it only seemed to intensify. The fragrance is similar to a cheap perfume, and after washing and drying my clothes, the room was filled with an unpleasant medium-strength scent.

I've been doing my own laundry for years and have always preferred regular Tide Liquid or Powder. In fact, I've been a loyal fan of these products since my college days. However, this new scent has left me feeling irritated and concerned.

Upon wearing a shirt after washing with the Tidepod, I developed a skin-irritating rash on both elbows and upper abdomen. The odor was so strong that I had to remove the shirt immediately. I checked the packaging of my previous product supply and compared it to the new packaging, but there were no noticeable changes or warnings about a change in scent.

The finished clothes still retained a heavy perfume-like scent, which is not something I care for. After drying the clothes, the room was filled with an unpleasant medium-strength scent that lingered even after 30 minutes.

I decided to use the last two pods from my old stock on a load of whites and then opened the new canister yesterday. Unfortunately, the strong perfume scent was immediately noticeable again. I proceeded with washing a large load of colors in warm/hot water, but the experience left me underwhelmed and concerned.
