The overpowering fragrances on all the liquids is the main reason I don't use them. The Tide powder is still fine, the scent is mostly gone when the clothes come out of the dryer.
People must like the strong the fragrances though, there's no other explanation for it. I used Gillette clinical strength antiperspirant for years until they changed the scent to something so strong it was unbearable.
P&G is also out of control on product variations and sizes. Look at the chart of paper towel sizes. It looks like somebody made it up as a joke!

What is Tide purclean and why is it more expensive?
It's a version that uses some plant based/natural ingredients. It's sort of between Seventh Generation and regular Tide.
I think they say it's more expensive because of ingredients used. Although they also may be looking at the fact that regular green detergents are $$$, and pricing accordingly.
I got a bottle last spring on sale for something like $3 or $4 when all the store's deals kicked in. It's probably not as powerful as regular Tide--at least that's my sense--but it worked well for me. Although my needs are mostly freshening, not dealing with really filthy laundry. |

Having read dictionary definitions of 'coral' I can't imagine why a corporation would green-light a scent called 'Fresh Coral Blast.'
Will have to check out Tide's website, pull up my two-monitor spreadsheet of the detergent's variations and figure out which scent was shown the door. Dear Tide: You want a great idea for a scent? How about "Tide 1959"? Now THAT will sell. This post was last edited 12/31/2017 at 08:27 |

This new scent will be changed or discontinued before we know it. |

Iowa Bear, Jim, I agree that is why I don't use liquids either. Gary |

Probably Clean Breeze, unless it's just been under my nose for the last several months now... |

where do they get these names....or even the thought that the name would resemble the actual scent....
Forest Fresh....???.....an actual forest may have crisp air, but rotting wood and deer droppings is not exactly how I want my laundry to smell... although, I could see washing clothes in a running stream of cedar water...or the spray of the ocean... but then again, ocean water is more salty than flowery....and the only scent you would find on a beach is coconut, but that's from all the suntan lotion everyone has on, not the natural scent... |

I also hate strong scents in detergent. Unfortunately, I'm using liquids exclusively these days, due to practical realities of availability in my area...
Although I do often get unscented. I particularly like unscented in summer when I line dry. I want the real outdoor scent, not a detergent maker's idea of a fresh spring breeze. (Detergent makers: does the fresh spring breeze really smell so eye wateringly awful where you live?!?)

I have a bottle now since I 'had' to try it out once it dries. It smells quite strong although isn't horrible when used on towels since the scent dies dramatically. It does perform as expected from Tide liquids. |
