Tide Pod Scents

9 years ago

I received the Spring Meadow ones as samples at Costco. It's light but I don't like it at all. I grabbed a small pouch of F&G because I do like them, Is the original one similar to the original liquid I have?

    Agree with dorey! Ocean Mist really bothers me. I foolishly (a while ago) bought an enormous tub....Omg! Hated. I was literally giving them away in ziploc bags. LOL

    I recently bought a small bag of the Tide Original Scent pods, on recommendation from Mitch. They work very!!!! well, but I do not like the scent. Similar to Original Scent Tide, but too sweet!

    So I guess that leaves just the F&G then. I like how mild the Spring Meadow is but dislike it's sweetness. Was hoping original wasn't so sweet.

    I think all of the Tide pods work the same, all are created equil and all have 5 enzymes. Only difference is scent. Personally can't tolorate the scent of any of the scented varietys. LOVE the F&G.

    That's a shame. Someone must like the scents because they sell tons of them. I have a small pack of F&G I'll test with some scented FS.

    Ya the Tide Pods F&G are my go to along with a dash of Vanish for White flour sack towels. Amazingly white and 100% stain free.

    Kitchen towels are a good gauge of cleaning. I usually Miele whites on mine. I'm getting my boys to do laundry finally and think the pods are good for that.

    I have been using the botanical rain scented pods. So far I like those best.

    I haven't tried the ones with Downy but was turned off of them after Larsi's experience.

    Chuck...I have thought about trying the AF pods..maybe I'll pick up one of those 4$ bags one day.

    We don't have botanical rain here I don't think.

    MamaP....The new April Fresh Tide pods are beyond AWFUL!!! The scent is cloying, old lady, musty, sweet, perfumed, strong, never fading. OMG, save your $4!!!

    You got me with the musty...I'm not trying them. Lol

    The AF ones are STRONGLY scented of april funk.

    I absolutely believe they are horrible. I trust Larsi's opinion completely but now I am compelled because they sound so awful I have to experience it just so that I can further condemn P&G for taking another huge mis-step in their world of funk-o-rama laundry detergents. Small $4 bag here I come. I still love their liquid AF detergent. So far it still smells good (to me) therefore I am counting down the days until that is gone... :(

    @stchuck....The Tide with a touch of April Fresh Downy liquid STILL (shockingly) smells good! I too wonder when they will change and ruin this?! This is the only AF product that still smells good!!

  • 9 years ago

    Yes Larsi I agree. The tide with a touch of April Fresh smells surprisingly good! I just finished a bottle of it today, but luckily have a few more waiting to be used. Hopefully this scent will not be changed!

    I am almost tempted to buy and hoard a bunch of the AF liquid, just in case. Right now there is a 3.00 off coupon. This will accompany the 10, yes 10! bottles of Target's Spring bloom that I bought recently. The combo of those two still makes me smile when they come out of the dryer. :)

    I actually like the scent of Tide Liquid AF also. For towels paired with Downy free is a lovely soft scent. I agree Larsi has good taste, but lets not forget we all have our own individual sniffers..LOL. Obviously a lot of people like the AF pods as they are never in stock around here. The older boxes of Tide powder with AF is also delicious, if you find any sniff the seams of the box first as some boxes went bad.
