OOOh if you want lingering scent, please try GAIN
Personally to me it smells like really bad quality cheap cologne and tickles my nose.
A chaque un son gout. (To each his own).
Careful, linkie has sound.

I agree, it is not overpowering.
Remember, this Canadian version is not an "ultra" concentrated powder, but the classic Tide that, like other classic formulas, appear to be more popular in Canada than here....
They sell it here in the "National Wholesale Liquidators" chain of discount stores.

Lemon Tide
The Lemon Tide powder reminds me of the Lemon Fresh Dash P & G sold briefly in the late 1980s, when they tried to revive the Dash brand as a "value" detergent. In some ways, it's like P & G Canada was trying to compete against the original Lemon Freshened Borax Fab of the 1970s.
BTW, I always liked that formula, since (as a guy) I don't really like my wash smelling like a truckload of flowers. Colgate began losing its share in the detergent market when they turned Fab into a clone of Bold-3 by adding fabric softener...that's when Fab "jumped the shark."

I can get that Lemon Tide here in Massachusetts at National Wholesale Liquidators. They have a good selection of Tide Original. I have tried the Lemon tide and it does well and the clothes to me smell like they were washed in Lemon Fresh Fab of years ago. I wish that they would bring back the Lemon Fab with Borax.
It's Canadian. . .
I always stuff a box into my luggage when I visit Canada for business, that way I always have some on hand. I find it weird that Canadian products are so difficult to get in the U.S. I guess its the fact the P&G and Unilever operate in both countries and they don't want to have any unrest inside of the one parent company.
On a side note I have noticed that Sears Canada's Ultra Plus is also lemon scented. Wonder why the lemon fragrance is so popular in Canada and not the U.S.?

Well, the same companies are catering to different demographics down here....they cater to whatever the focus groups tell them people of different backgrounds are supposed to like...
In Montreal, I'd always noticed that more people than in New York wash in cold water. Tide always seemed to be more of a "must" brand-wise then others, especially in francophone neighborhoods.
Up north in Chicoutimi, I noticed more "Arctic Power" (maybe because it was colder there?)
As you moved further west, people seemed more likely to buy other brands like Sunlight, or even premium store brands from chains like Loblaws.....I remember searching for Lemon ABC and Lemon Surf to no avail.
They have (or had) fewer brands than Americans...but it was on a Quebec supermarket shelf that I first saw plain washing powder packed in thin plastic bags...not much of a discernable fragrance.
They'd have Tide and Cheer liquid, powdered Sunlight, Arm and Hammer, and sometimes Arctic Power, Wisk liquid, Purex liquid, a house brand and that was it. The shelves had a higher proportion of powder vs. liquid then in New York. Tide and Purex had lemon variants, and not much else...and of course Sunlight was lemon to begin with (I think there was a "Free and Clear" as well, like All liquid here)...
Fewer choices of softener and bleach scents than here, and the brands were different (Clorox was Javex, Suavitel was Fleecy, etc.)
I've never been out west, like to Vancouver, but I always noticed these differences.....there is definitely less emphasis on laundry products (and shelf space) then in the supermarkets here. In New Jersey, the laundry products sometimes merit a full aisle on their own.
Canadians, correct me if this has all changed up north.
