How come this oil doesn't smell like coconut oil? :(

It isn't completely organic/natural. I recommend heading over to trader joes or looking for coconut oil that is extra virgin, organic, first cold pressed so that you receive the complete benefits. I didn't enjoy this oil at all; you will find that now foods does not make great natural products.

It is deodorized so that it can be used in many different types of food products. This is very common to do with coconut oil. Look for a non deodorized version for that coconutty smell.

this isn't genuine aragn oil, or it's gone rancid. real argan oil isn't supposed to smell like this. mine smells just awful.

Mine looked more like a flower to me. Actually, I found the bottle unacceptable, as if the oil hardended, it was time consuming to warm it up to a more liquid state. Perhaps yours has a chunck of coconut shell???

I don't feel like they do. I have used this coconut oil for 2 1/2 years, so I could just be use to it. But, I don't ever remember anything having a strong coconut flavor. I will always use coconut oil to cook with. This is the only oil I use to cook or fry food in. I hope this helps.

Nutiva's organic virgin coconut oil is a medium heat oil that will take temperatures up to 350°F. It does have a coconut oil smell and taste to it. There are 63% medium chain triglycerides and 50% lauric acid in the virgin coconut oil.Our organic refined coconut oil is a high heat oil that will take temperatures up to 400°F. It has little to no coconut oil smell or taste to it. There are 63% medium chain triglycerides and 50% lauric acid in our organic refined coconut oil, the same as our organic virgin coconut oil.

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

For me, it smells like oil, for a lack of better description. I wouldn't say it is fishy. The smell doesn't bother me. It slowly disappears. I prefer it to fragrance.

The bottle I got is definitely refined. It doesn't specify by what process on the label, but it has no coconut scent whatsoever.

It is refined and does not smell like coconutoil. The toxic process of "refining" took out the smell.

I don't know if it's supposed to smell like "true coconut." I like the smell. I think it's light and after a while it doesn't really smell at all.

no, I had nothing like that in my bottle. The oil is smooth and nothing is floating. It has an organic, kind of nutty smell to it. I love this product. Maybe you got a bad batch? If there is such a thing. Perhaps you should return for a replacement? Not sure.

I have been using coconut oil for awhile now. This is what they all smell like.

No, mine came fine and new (sealed). You should send it back for exchange or refund. don't wait!I like this oil, the taste is not as strong as say extra virgin coconut oil.

Like the previous answer says, there is vanilla in it for the scent, but aside from that, it's only coconut oil.

Use it as you would any oil. It does retain the coconut smell so be mindful of that.

(By the way this oil is not crap, it is not virgin or extra virgin so it will not smell or taste coconuty) There are two kinds of 100% coconut oil from snappy (well 3 including the organic) one is colored orange- yellow to look like butter. I believe they use anatto seed. I have purchased the white oil in the gallon multiple times and it looks white to me.

I agree with Sharon, mine smells yummy! When I put it on it definitely does not smell cheesy, it smells like coconut.
