Does it smell very strong? I used Biofreeze and Paloxin. Does it smell stronger than these too? Thanks!

Sombra has a menthol smell, but it doesn't last too long. I like the smell of Sombra.

I believe you are asking about Sombra. If so, the smell is moderately strong at first but lessens to a citrus like smell after a while, then disappears. It is not as strong as Icy Hot, Bengay, or those types of arthritis creams

Nena, I actually like the smell of sombra. It has a very pleasant citrus smell. My friends that use somba also like the smell. The good thing is that it doesn't have a medicinal smell. More of a natural smell. Not as strong of a smell as Biofreeze

Only when applied do you notice the smell, it isn't very strong as far as scent goes, however as it dries the smell fades.

When you put it on, there's a strong smell but put Bengay at 10 I would say this is more of a five and it does dissipate much quicker. Gosh, how long to dissipate, I'm not sure, but less than an hour? To be honest, once dry, I don't notice it, so however long it takes to dry once you put it on. I don't use Biofreeze or Paloxin so I can't compare those two.

It's been a while since I used it, I use mine in a portable ice fishing house. I don't remember anything of a smell.

It smells like a fart x10. It's very very strong and smells exactly like a nasty fart so if you use it, reassure someone will notice and say something because it's incredible strong and intense, a bit stronger than a fart is but it does the job too well.

I don't recall it having a strong odor. If it had a smell at all it was very minimal. I'll check again this evening when I'm home and reply back for certain.

The smell is not overpowering at all and is actually quite light. I didn't notice the smell until I sniffed the contents of the bottle. Unless someone was to stick their nose in your hair, they wouldn't notice the smell. And I'd say after about a day or two it'd probably be too light to notice by then.

Wow! We smelled nothing on opening it, and I have a really sensitive sense of smell. Then I washed it w/mild soapy water. We use it every week. Think I bought 6 or more of these!

At first I thought it had a slight fish smell but it didn't last n now I don't smell it at all. But the little sample of cold plasma smelled bad. I haven't used it. Just received a new kit so will see how that cold plasma smells. I like the product (sub D) but only see maybe 30-40% improvement.

The smell of this product is not overwhelming. The one thing I did not personally care for is the temperature. In spraying on hair it is extremely cold to the scalp. Also, it did not really give me the coverage I was looking for. Good luck!

I wish I could help you. Wind Song "was" one of my favorites. I had a cardboard tube of Wind Song body powder and I absolutely loved it. It had the loveliest smell. I could use it like cologne. I liked to put it on my arms and chest at night and it smelled good all night and the next morning. I understood from the sales clerks they didn't make it any more. So I ordered the body powder--2 times--the first one didn't smell nearly good as what I had before, and the second one I have now I just don't like at all. The odor is actually a little offensive to me. I thought maybe I had changed somehow. I have used the cologne and also think there is a change in the scent and the time it lasts on me. So I have been disappointed, too. I didn't get in touch with the company but that may the only way to find out what it going on. I think we could Google it. But you are right, there has been changes in their Wind Song products. Sadly. Mary Ann Froelich

It doesn't sound like it. I have never noticed an odor using this product. When I smell the odor in the bottle, it smells very light. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with it.

I did not notice any particular strong odor. As soon as you are able to wash your hair after the perm, that should take away any lingering odor. I did not have any problem with lasting odor. Good luck.

I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it or not, but I've always cleaned mine with Dr. Bronner's Hemp Pure-Castile Peppermint Soap. I haven't noticed that strong smell that it had since when I first took it out of the package.

I didn't experience the smell! Check with customer service! Hope that helped!

I have a sensitive nose. I did not notice a strong chemical smell even when the product was new. Now I stuck my nose right on it and gave a good sniff. There is a faint odor of neoprene or the like but not smell able from one foot away. I bought this product a bit ago and worry that the manufacturer changed suppliers for its raw materials since then so I am reluctant to reassure you.

It's a faint floral smell. I wouldn't classify it as strong. They have some sample sizes available and I would suggest you try it before you invest in the large container. It is a generous amount.

I personally like the smell of "surplus" as I was in the service. If you use as directed it works well. You can use it straight at full strength but to me that seems overkill since it directs just a little bit (can't recall exact amount printed on bottle) to about gallons of water. That should give you a rough idea how potent this stuff is. A little goes a long way and always let it air dry for best results. I've read it gets rid of skunk spray smell pretty well too! I use it mainly for dog accidents in the house but also on camping equipment to eliminate the "camp fire" smell. I highly recommend it!

I happen to like that smell. But I don't remember there being an oder if so may be very minor and was fine right away. its very suggestible from my aspect. Like others mentioned it is pretty strong and somewhat difficult to bend or move over but does a job great. Magnets on it I like very much cuz they actually work. Overall very happy with it.
