I have been using it for dishes for about 13-14 years now. In the last 2 years, I have noticed that when you open it, it gives off a smell that reminds me of laundry detergent. At first, I thought it was because it is located next to such detergents in supermarkets. I tried it in a single package, and again the same. I went to another supermarket that had economical packages and again the same aroma. In the past, it smelled like classic green soap and made hands very soft. Now it dries them out. When I take the grated soap, then it smells normally as it should.
