It is quite strong but not unpleasantly so for humans. It dissipates quickly too.

No, its a soft citronella smell, like citrus. The sprayer is powerful. Next time I will buy the unscented can because, the citronella smell is training my dog not to bark.

No, It has a faint smell with a strong spray that makes the dog take notice.The collar has been working well for us.It does sometime go off at odd times

No not at all, I barely noticed. I did take note of the reviews to watch when you first turn it on, it will clear itself out. But the smell was very faint

I've sprayed it in a cellar and left it for a day. When I brought it back into my closet, I could smell it for perhaps another day. Same using it outdoors...a day or so of residual odor. I don't think the smell is awful, just odd.

I can't say it has any specific smell. It's a light gentle smell if anything. Not overwhelming coconuts or anything like some sunscreens.

Hi Kinsee! I'm looking at the bottle I have and I don't see citronellol/citronella listed in the ingredients. Citronellol/citronella is derived from lemongrass, where as the essential oils listed in this deodorant are from blood orange, lemon (in French this is listed as "citron", maybe that's where you're getting "citronella" from?) and mandarine. I personally hate the smell of citronella and don't detect that smell at all when I use this product, to me it comes off more as a light, vague and airy citrus scent. Hope that helps!

No, as a matter of fact, it will give your car a pleasant smell, if you like citronella. The initial burst, if you're close by, may be strong. However, it goes away quickly.

No, it does not have a bad or strong smell. I took off the lid yesterday and mine smells like lotion. I'm not sure how well the product works because I have only used it two times.

It is VERY smelly. I actually went back and checked the ingredients for fragrance when I got it. There is nothing artificial but the oils have a strong smell that smells artificial.

Personally, I have only used the citronella collar and found it to work very well. The only thing is that my dog got used to the smell of the citronella and after a few months, it didn't bother him that much. It also runs out of the collar fairly quickly so I had to keep filling it.

I have been buying this product for about 6months now and it does have a little smell to it, but not overwhelming. If it's quite noticeable I would suggest sending it back. It shouldn't be super strong. I notice it when I have my nose close to the container, but otherwise its faint. Good luck!

Yes, really strong smell from the styrofoam. Going to sit it outside to see if that helps.

it's been a while since I first opened it, but I don't remember any strong smell

It's a light citrus odor. The horses can smell it, but I can't smell very well so I'm not sure just how strong it is.

A slight citronella-like odor. Not too bad, only noticeable right at first and occasionally later when near your face.

I agree if you did everything like the directions told you, then you would smell citronella it has a good distinct smell. Return it and get a new one sounds like this one isn't working properly.

I did notice the smell but mine wasn't what I would call strong. And it did air out. Haven't noticed since the first day. Hope this helps.

The smell did not bother me, but I suppose each of us have a different sensitivity. It's a citris smell (orange mostly) which could probably be called strong by some people, but again, I was fine with it. It disipates quickly so I don't think it would it stay long in your car.

Yes! I suggest cleaning the area first before U use it; I believe this makes it work better. But to answer your question, yes it does have a strong smell ... Kinda like pepper spray! Not that intolerable but I would use it in a well ventilated area!!
