I haven't even seen regular Foamy around in any stores lately. The sensitive one is the only one that is carried around here. I wonder what's going on with that?
I'm still tempted to search out the most back water out of the way drug store in a small town I can find. No chain store crap and see if I can snag a can of the original original.The change in Foamy's scent is unfortunate. I picked up a can a month or two ago, as I always keep a can on hand. After reading this thread, I gave it a spray and was greeted with the stench of its new formula. In the garbage it goes. Shame.
I found some of the "old stuff" on the shelf at a Kwik Trip gas station. There's probably still some out there in a weird place most people don't by shaving supplies at.

Dollar tree had some of the 2oz original cans last time I checked.I'm still tempted to search out the most back water out of the way drug store in a small town I can find. No chain store crap and see if I can snag a can of the original original.
I noticed the change earlier this year and it's pretty bad. It's identical to their Fusion foam that I had and have not thrown away yet. The scent is way too overpowering and lingers even if you shave in the shower and rinse off. Its not even as good a shave compared to the original. The new version is not good for sensitive skin because of the perfume they added.
The Gillette Foamy Sensitive changed as well and is the same as the red new Foamy. I read a ton of reviews online on Google, Amazon and Walmart. They all say the same thing. One even states that they use it to clean pee stains on their bathroom floor that were made by their son who they are potty training. That sounds about right. This was Gillete's "New Coke " moment that I remember from my childhood. They deserve the flack.
Bought a travel can of Gillette Foamy Regular at Rite-Aid while on vacation. Big mistake! Had no idea that Gillette changed the scent. Rather disappointed! Smell is overpowering not clean and crisp like the original.
Can anyone verify if the Gillette Foamy Sensitive scent changed? Thanks much.
I bought my first can of Foamy recently and it smelled warm and spicy, very similar to Old Spice. I went down a rabbit hole and apparently so many people complained to Gillette that they changed the scent back. I thought I'd pass this along based on my new can and what was posted on Reddit.
I'm at work right now, but I thought the same thing, too, when I first read the report. However, the can has the new design, but has 2023 clearly printed on the back. In contrast, the Foamy Sensitive I bought off the same shelf at the same time has 2021 printed on back.Can we see a picture of the can? The pessimist in me thinks you got an older can with the old (good) scent…
Sounds like they're bring back the original. just did a Google.Woo that’s great news. Love classic foamy. I hope this is true.
Have you seen more online reports on that?
Just confirmed it with Gillette. Date code later than 3191.Can we see a picture of the can? The pessimist in me thinks you got an older can with the old (good) scent…
Great news!Sounds like they're bring back the original. just did a Google.

look for a number higher than 3191 on the can.
Alex, so far, I get a stronger scent more along the lines of Old Spice. Stay tuned.Great news!
Hmmm old spice. Awesome. I will!Alex, so far, I get a stronger scent more along the lines of Old Spice. Stay tuned.
Awful. Absolutely AWFUL! Used it for 35 years (regular before I discovered their sensitive skin version) and now I use Barbasol…temporarily until I can find a “scent free” alternative that is great for sensitive skin. Way to screw it up Gillette! Curious as to why they went with “that” scent.I know the sensitive changed but I'm reading new reviews and everybody's saying the regular Foamy smells horrible. Leave it to Gillette to ruin something that works.
