I got my order today and was a little disappointed. Smelling it directly out of the bottle, it has a camphor smell. Is this normal?

I didn't notice anything myself, but perhaps the odor you smelled is because the oil is so concentrated. The company sent me an email soon after I received the product, asking for feedback. You can ask the question of them directly.

The smell fron the bottle is different than when its actually used . You must run the water very hot even if you have to let it sit for awhile... the smell becomes wonderful but besides the smell the benefits of it is what is most important . relax breath is the aroma but just soak in the now mineral water I also suggest buying some sleepy or energy bath soap either online or at bath and body work tof course depending on weather you are using it at night or morning.. I have medical conditions and ESSENCE theis products really help me either fall asleep and just feel relaxed and better, Ive used other very expensive alternatives.. hope it helps ! give it a chance :) The smell fron the bottle is different than when its actually used .

Hi, the smell right out of the bottle is sort of a shampoo-like smell that disappears after application and drying. It's definitely not one of those perfume scented, odor disguise products. The close to zero scent is one of the things I appreciate about it.

Hi Tio, No we have not had anyone else have this experience. If your smelling the product in the bottle, because its contained in a small area, the odor is a bit medicinal, but once you apply it to your face the odor is not noticeable at all. I hope this answers your questions. If you want to discuss in greater detail please feel free to call; 1-888-633-0536

I would send it back. My Shalimar, although I agree it does not smell like it did years ago, does smell like perfume. Mine did not have any insect repellant scent. Something isn't right.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

It shouldn't have any smell at all. Please call Amazon and get a replacement. When I had it, it only had a very slight aroma...nothing bad.

Mine does not smell like fish. On the label, to the left side of front is a picture of three people in an oval, and below that is on the right is a "use by" date. Check to see if it is out of date or close to it. Keep in mind that once you open it, it MUST be refrigerated. I have never had a problem with Barlean's. I does smell oily, but then again it IS an oil, but I have no fish smell. I go through a 16 ounce bottle in about 6-7 days; using 1/3 cup per day.

To me the order isn't bad at all. Closest comparison would be to say it's almost like vegetable cooking oil. No perfumes or scents added to keep it pure, so that might be considered a trade off. Definitely not an obnoxious order at all.

Hi Janice -- mine had a light odor, but that's been normal to other argan oil I've purchased. It should be mild, though, not overwhelming.

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 assume you're talking about the bottle of krill, not the capsule... My bottle has a little fish smell but not a nose turning overbearing smell. May be one of the capsules broke and leaked? I would pour out the bottle into a bowl and look for a broken capsule... Again, my bottle does not have a overly obnoxious fishy odor. These capsules also did not give me any fishy aftertaste. I hope this helps you!

Mine had a slight herbal smell. Try mixing with an essential oil like lavender.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

Wow that is weird. When I opened the bottle it didn't have a smell. I just got my second bottle in last week and it have no smell either.

Mine smelled really strange and then I realized it was the cilantro smell! Once I identified that, it smelled great. Mine was sealed correctly. Not a fake product.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

No, that is not normal. Mine did not have a burning smell. You might want to contact the seller.
