Irish Spring Irish Spring Original Bar Soap Fresh Clean Scent-3.75 oz-Bacteria Remover-Skin,Hand-Green-Paraben-free,Phthalate-free,Gluten-free 3/Pack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good standby soap. I still have friends who use this. It has one of the cleanest scents I‰Ûªve ever experienced with soap, and it‰Ûªs more affordable than most clean soap brands. I would recommend this to most men and anyone who wants a simple, clean wash, no additional bells and whistles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the refreshing smell of original Irish springs. I love how clean I feel after I use it. One con is that we leave it in a soap dish in our shower, and when water gets in the dish and sits there for a bit the soap ends up getting very slimy and feels sort of gross 

I'm sorry to say that I cannot continue to support this product. The formula change has eliminated the good fragrance that was once the key selling point for the soap. I'm not really sure why they changed the formula but the soap is now just an ordinary, I have cheap soap product.

Why? You changed a product that was loved and had a very loyal following of users to something that (judging by the reviews) is almost universally hated by that formerly loyal user group. On top of that you completely misrepresent the product by calling it "Original." That should earn you a lawsuit for false advertising, but maybe it should earn somebody a lot of praise if they just change it back. Keep the new "original" but call it something else. When no one buys that one you can just drop it and keep the old formula without the stupid "classic" attached. Someone in this company really wanted to try and pull one over on the original users, maybe they should find a job at Coca Cola (I seem to remember that at least they were honest about changing the formula).

The new, heavy pine-note fragrance is terrible. I'd been using Irish Spring since at least the early 80s, and I'd purchased a 24-pack in late 2021. Recently purchased a misleadingly named, 'original' scent and was instantly repulsed. This smell is definitely bug spray-like, or a strong cleaning chemical. I'm forced to become a disloyal customer. Go read up on the New Coke fiasco.

I've always loved Irish Spring. We had a big package of bars in our house that lasted us for years. But this summer we used the last bar and I went and bought more -- pleased to see it labeled "original." But when I got back home and opened the first box I found it smelled nothing at all like the product I had so long loved. And to call this lousy new soap "original" verges on unethical. At least Coca Cola when they made the disastrous decision to introduce "new Coke," labeled it as new and did not try to dupe customers. I will never buy your product again... unless you go back to the scent that brought your product to prominence.

The changed smell is repulsive. I was a loyal Irish Spring customer for decades. Marketing classes had been teaching about the "New Coke" debacle since the 1980s. Now they can add your New Irish Spring soap to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" list of marketing failures. Whoever convinced your executives this would be a good idea should be fired. Bring back the original WITHOUT that crappy flaxseed oil and I'll buy it again. Until then, Zest works as a substitute.Oh, and quit LYING that that "original" is original. You are bucking for a class action lawsuit.

Like many others, I have used Irish Spring bar soap for decades and I never thought about switching. Well, a few years ago I bought some and immediately noticed the smell was off, and the soap felt kind of slimy and seemed to leave an oily feeling on my skin. I tried using it a couple more times hoping that I'd get used to it, but I just can't stand the smell and so I threw the bar out. Please, please bring back the old formulation if you want me back as a customer! Thanks for reading.

You call your current Irish spring soap original. But you added flaxseed oil, it's not original anymore. I don't want oil in my soap. Why did you add flaxseed oil? We buy Irish spring for the kind of soap It is, it's not like dove. We want that krisp clean feel, keep the flax seed oil out of it. Whoever suggested adding flaxseed oil. should be fired.

Iv been a fan for years it seems like the original has changed again new packaging and weird smell with a different color green and now gives me breathing problems. Not happy this is my favorite soap and one that doesnt bug my sensitive skin. Please go back to the old scent.
