Yeah, the only line that I have issues with scent is Alikay Naturals.
What do their products smell like? I've been really wanting to try them.

Nubian Heritage is 1,000 times > Sheamoisture
Every Sheamoisture product I used to love has been reformulated or discontinued without any customer notification.
The Shea Moisture people own Nubian Heritage.
First off, let me say their products work well....... The Milk conditioner smells like condensed milk and cloves.
The avocado smells odd... can't describe, but I'm not crazy. Neither scents are bad enough for me to stop using them. I know folks are sensitive. I'm reading about folks gagging using shea moisture and I have never gagged using their stuff.
I've been looking all over the Internet and YouTube videos & many many many people say their products have overwhelmingly strong perfumey scents. I know that my nose is extra sensitive though. I often smell things that other people cannot . I'm the type that can smell perfume and know exactly what is in it . I am unusual, strong scents actually make me physically ill , but as I said many others have issues with their scents as well. But as you can see in this thread there are many who don't mind them either. Every hair product I have ever tried from them though had a strong smell, except for their baby shampoo.What do their products smell like? I've been really wanting to try them.

A few hours ago I realized I had some of their African black soap balancing conditioner . I don't recall ever using it in my hair I must've got it for my little brother, but I just smelled it and I like the smell of it . They have a lot of products and I've only tried a handful because of the scent issues, so I'm sure there are many more that smell just fine. A lot of their hair products come unsealed I have noticed ( which I also really don't like ... There's a lot of crazy people out there how are we to know if someone has tampered with it or not ?) so it should be pretty easy to test out the smell before you buy.
So now Shea Moisture are selling hair fragrance. What a waste of money that would be. Most hair products used for shampooing, conditioning and styling already have their own scents. Why would you need to buy something to provide a scent when you can just reapply some products you already have.
I'm now actually interested in knowing where the 'on the go hair conditioning hair fragrances sprays' are located for sale.
I want to take a whiff, review the ingredients...and possibly purchase.. I'll check Target tomorrow.
Sometimes when I go to a restaurant/bar/outdoor patio etc my hair will hold smells and its not quite wash day.
I have aquolina pink sugar hair perfume, but that's $15.00 a bottle. 1 bottle lasts over 2 years since I use it infrequently.
I can't. You're a fooooooooooooool! I am dyingSee, I think I figured out. This WHOLE thing was PLANNED, by DESIGN!

Uh huh: I see it now.
*kidding, of course

Can YOU explain the smell of that Rose Oil Complex Whatever Whatever line? CAN you??? I'm just sayin' . . .
I also love the smell of the manuka line. I use it just for the fragrance.I guess I'm the only one here that loves the smell of the manuka honey line lol
You are so right about Oyin. I can only use the refresher sprays (Greg Juice, etc.) as the other products are too heavily scented. I feel you regarding the Hair Dew. I wish that I could use it, but I can't. I tried the whipped pudding when it was pretty new, my batch didn't have a strong scent. Then I got a full size a little while later and the chocolate scent (or whatever it is) was out of control. I got a whiff of the burnt sugar pomade once and said nope. The body butter bars were fine though, no crazy intense scent for the ones that I tried.So glad to have some company: My nose is VERY, VERY strong. I absolutely LOVE the effect that Oyin Hair Dew has on my hair. Best moisturizer produced, in my opinion. However, I can't use it: That datgum burnt cookie / caramel / sugary / just-won't-ever-completely-dissipate smell!!!!!!! I would rather have dry hair than to smell Oyin Hair Dew. That's sayin' sumpin'!!! Does ANY hair product need to be scented THAT strongly?
Speaking of scenting, there's another Shea Moisture product to "not care too much for" . . . or maybe folks will love it. It's On-the-go Conditioning Hair Fragrance. You know, brought to you by Shea Moisture--the expert hair product scenters. I'm sorry! I just find it ticklish for SO MANY reasons.
I actually like the scent of the Manuka line . . . when in an appropriate strength.
