smell: Is it rancid or is this the normal smell of it?

I suspect it's rancid if it smells like fish oil. Many say that Jojoba has no scent. I disagree--I have a very acute sense of smell and I it has a very distinctive, light, vaguely sweet scent. It reminds me of a very faint aroma of baked goods, like pancakes or waffles (without the syrup.) I have never known it to smell like fish oil.

Just like any other vegetable oil. Best to keep it in a cool and dark area. Will rancid after a few months, you will know when it happens by the smell.

The bottle we got to try has a oily smell but not particularly a fish smell. Mixing it with flavored yogurt is how I use it.Keep it refrigerated, I suspect it could get rancid in heat.

Yes, it was fresh. I'm really sensitive to rancid smells in foods, and this had a really good aroma. There is a use by date on it, and mine had over a year on it. I keep my stuff in the fridge, so mine lasts a bit longer that way. I also take put mine in a glass jar that I use a vacuum sealer on that I got for wide mouth jars; it from food saver. Really keeps things nice and fresh.

It should have a very mild "nutty" fragrance...& I do mean MILD. It should not smell rancid. Hope this helps:)

It does have a smell, kinda sour and considering that it contains humic acids, common in composted or fermented products, I can understand, but no it doesn't smell like rotten meat, that is a distinct smell and if yours does then you may have a problem ;D

There is definitely a smell, but that's normal for most items requiring a solvent. I actually like the smell, but my wife didn't. No big deal, just opened the windows for an hour or so and it was fine.

I agree with Yvonne. I bought it a couple years ago and it seems like the same thing. I have no idea why it smells funky.

If it's smelling because of old rancid food and stuff clogging it, this product is great.

I'm not quite sure what you really mean, but I'll still attempt to answer. The one I ordered was fine, it didn't smell rancid. This Cologne has been around for a while and has the scent of regal maturity, so I wouldn't recommend it for someone in their teens to mid 30's

I don't recall mine having any kind of smell, however, I have read that you may have that smell during the first two or three weeks. If it continues after that then you may have a problem. My guess is that smell will gradually subside over a period of three weeks. Especially if it is continually running 24/7 - which mine is.

Yes, that smell is natural. These are actually far less pungent than others I have tried. I highly recommend them.

It has been awhile since I opened the box for the first time but I do not recall any unusual smells. Hope this helps. Mike

I never did. It never smelled rancid. You can stub your toe on it though! I'm pretty sure it's prepared. It's not "raw".

Hi, Kathy. This is Bob's wife, Libby, the user of the capsules. There is a slight lemony smell to the product. I keep mine in the refrigerator to eliminate fishy after-burps, and it's possible the smell might be stronger at room temperature. The contents are fish oils, so if you have a very sensitive nose, you may be picking up a fishy odor. However, if it smells bad or very strong, there may have been some leakage due to heat in transit, leading to rancid oil smell. If that's the case, I would contact your supplier for replacement. I have used many bottles without encountering an odor.

Yes, I experienced the same thing but it seems OK and is helping me sleep and helping relax muscles and reduce pain. I wrote the company and asked about the rancid smell. They said the product should last for two years after purchase. I bought it about two years ago on Amazon but just now have been using it. After this bottle, I will order more. Hopefully the new bottle won't have the rancid smell. I am sensitive to fragrances and do prefer lotions with little or no fragrance.
