Why did they change the formulation? On the previous formulation I didn't notice odors...now after one day it stinks!

I think it's the vendor on Amazon, and not the manufacturer. I started buying this from a local pet shop and it's great. I've gone to 3 different pet shops in San Francisco and none of them have this new formula promising better clumping action. The stuff I got from this vendor on Amazon didn't clump any better than the old stuff. It just clogged up my toilet.

I think the new formula, which is more coarse, clumps WAY better and therefore reduces odor b/c the clumps don't break up when you scoop them.

I also did not notice the odor, but I would guess that within a short period of time this would disappear. As with most things I did have minor problem with was to place outside for a few days.

I can tell you this much... since it started coming in this new spray container, it is very drying, compared to what it used to be. I feel like I need to go from the .1 to the .05. I really had no idea there were new ingredients, I thought it was just a fluke.

I'm not sure how recently this may have happened; haven't heard anything about their formula changing. I purchased my bottle about 1-2mths ago & it works great for our cloth diapers. Also is a miracle-cleaner when it comes to removing spit-up smell/stains from sofas, car seats, etc!

In their old formula (which they still had not that long ago), there was no fragrance at all. However, this new bottle that you see pictured here apparently came with a new formula and it does have a very slight apple fragrance (in my opinion). The company will tell you that nothing has changed with the formula, however, I have multiple chemical sensitivities and can pick up on very tiny changes that maybe most of the population would not notice. The new formula also lathers more easily, so something definitely changed. However, I still do use the shampoo. After you rinse, it does not leave a fragrance on you, but you do smell it a little while you're lathering up. I can't use their conditioner anymore. The bottle smells like a mild form of windex to me and I react to it now. Their old formula was also good. I use Dessert Essense fragrance free conditioner now and love it. It also has kind of a light oatmeal smell and conditions much better than this brand (does not leave a fragrance after rinsing). I may switch over to their shampoo as well in the future.

Oh you bet it's not the same. This is a question for the fragrance vendor, not the purchaser. What I received smelled like insect repellant and was thrown away.

I thought I was loosing my mind, the new stuff is horrible!! Did anyone find out if the old formula is still available?

I am unaware of a change. Maybe they are talking of initial smell with you unwrap it? I have had mine for some time now and don't smell anything and my son loves these mats. We build forts with them sometimes or use them on the hard floor as a cushioned place to play. Have had zero issues with smell or anything in regards to these.

Yes, it did have a bit of odor when new. I did not notice when odor finally became imperceptible but I know I was noticing it even after a month. Seemed like odor was from adhesive they used.

I too find it to work different in my hair. I noticed the first few ingredients have changed the order they appear on the new label. I think that has something to do with it. I have always loved the smell until now with the new black and lime label. I now smell like a man with this product. Its smell is very strong and doesn't smell fruity or light like it used to. If I wanted to smell like a man I would use American Crews brown label product for men and smells like it is for men

Mine did not smell different. U may have gotten a bad one or something. Probably see about an exchange and gage from there.

I did not notice the odor and it does not smell now. I know what you are talking about though and have found if you have a product that smells like this leave it in a sealed container for a couple days with a small bowl of baking soda.

I'd say that came with the new peculiar odor, but once you start using it the odor is gone.

I vaguely remember an odor but I'm guessing it must've gone away pretty quickly since it's just a vague memory. :) I hope that helps. :)

I don't like the smell, it's horrible. Don't like the new formula at all !!

This product has been re-formulated and processed by a different manufacturer. It was once a very good product, however currently would fail to remove any odorant or smell. It's similar to spraying water into the air. Pass on this.

I didn't notice a smell either. Sounds terrible, I'm so sorry you are dealing with that.
