I have a very sensitive nose and was wondering if this butter smells like cocoa butter or is odorless.

It is "odorless". Of course there is a slight smell when you put it on, kind of like pencil shavings, but it fades quickly!

No it doesn't smell like cocoa, it smell a soft milk cream or something like that...

I totally understand your concerns! I had read many reviews before buying this product, and all of them said that the butter was odorless. However, when I bought and tried it myself, I actually SMELLED the creamy soapy something, plus I think there's some bees stuff smell in there. It's not very strong, and I can now bear it. All the more so, my belly feels AMAZING with this butter! It's a question of taste and preference, though. I wish you smooth and healthy continuation of your pregnancy, take care!

Greetings. I did taste the shea butter. It taste pretty much like it smells. I didn't cook with it,but I did read information on this grade of shea. You can cook with it,but I don't know which foods are good to cook it with. Hope this helps. God bless.

No, it is odorless. I tried it because my dermatologist recommended it, and it is great. Goes on smoothly, and sinks right into your skin and does not leave any oily residue.

Yes..it smells of shea butter and argan oil...it smells really good and it isn't a long lasting smell.

Yes, it is coconut butter, the oil is separated though... at the top, so I thought it was just the oil, but nope. I'd never heard of butter, I meant to order just oil but, Anyways, its fabulous quality and flavor.

I actually think the smell is rather strong if you aren't used to completely unrefined shea butter. It's a natural smell, but kind of like a chocolaty coffee (to me, anyway). I'm not a huge fan of this kind of smell in body products (I prefer soapy or fruity smells or nothing at all), but it isn't offensive, and it doesn't seem to linger on the skin. If you use it in your hair, though, that could be a different story.

I look for unrefined in all the butters that I use because it is processed less. As I understand it, and I an not an expert, heating destroys some of the vitamins that are in the butters. It also changes the smell. I have never found the smell of any of the butters offensive.

It doesn't smell like coconut oil and I'm not sure if it's unrefined. I'm actually curious about that too!

Yes. I don't know how to make chocolate but I know it is made from cocoa butter. Actually, the cocoa butter smells just like chocolate.

No. There was no odor. It is a really soft light comforter. Very good product.

Honestly, it is almost scentless. Very very faint smell and NOT very strong, at all. What you DO smell is pleasant. Wish you lived closer and I'd give mine to you! Ha!! Hope this helps.

Yes it is. The consistency should b different. Cocoa butter seems harder and lighter in colour

No fragrance, shea butter or cocoa butter. I'm not sure about oils, because I've used it so much the label can no longer be read. I'm sure they'd be listed on the Murad website, but I doubt that there are any that could cause problems, as I can't use other products because of my very sever allergies.

It has a light, woody odor. You can smell it if you have it in your hand but shortly after putting it on your skin, you won't notice it. I use it on my face regularly and I don't smell anything after 5 min or so. Compared to something oil like cocoa butter which I can smell for hours if I use it on my face.

I may just have a more sensitive nose than most people, but YES, they have a major, very unpleasant smell. It is supposed to smell like peanut butter, but MUCH STRONGER. It's enough to gag me. When I received them, I put the box in the garage in a closed plastic grocery bag, but had to move them onto my porch, since the garage smelled so bad. HOWEVER, they work GREAT.

It has almost no smell whatsoever. Once rubbed in and dry, one cannot smell anything. The commentator has either a very, very sensitive nose or--well-- I have no idea. This stuff is great. What little smell there is smells clean and light and disappears immediately.

It has no odor at all. I wouldn't know what kind of oil it is if the ad didn't state that it is coconut oil.
