Does this product really smell that bad?

It has a strong chemical smell... I poured them in a container i have a lot of bands in and left the lid off awhile and it got a little better but when i first opened the package it was a very strong smell

A week after having the product moved from it's shipping package to a large ziplock, and there is nothing outrageous about the smell. I still get the hint of "rubber band" smell but its not pungent or off-putting.

It has a smell to it, but it isn't enough to be bothersome to me. Unless you put it up to your face to smell it is hardly noticeable.

Yes it does. I tried to wash them and still smelled terrible. All went in the trash.

Yes, it does have that scent! I didn't really like it because, to me, it almost smelled like cigarette odor. Every time I applied it, I thought I smelled like cigarette smoke.Maybe don't apply too much and also wash your hands after using it.

It's not bad, i've been using benzoil peroxide for years now and never had any problem with the smell, order with confidence

Had no smell on mine. How could it smell so bad through a plastic bag, and cardboard box as to offend a ups driver? If it is that bad send it back!

I have only used this one once, and I did not like the scent. As to whether it was strong odor, I don't recall. Sorry if this is not too helpful!

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

I think it should not smell bad, or not smell at all. I say anything that smells really bad (like spoiled)--Trash it...

No, it has a OK smell. Well, I read reviews and some people didn't like the smell, it didn't bother me. But now I noticed after using it for several months that it's stopped working as well. I'm switching to another one, which my friend recommended but I cannot remember the brand off the top of my head right now.

I ended upwith 2 units, and neither had any objectionable odor. I completely understand your concern in general, having bought products with that problem before, but my specific experience with this product, at the time I bought it (> 1yr ago), from this vendor, were very satisfactory, and his customer service was outstanding.

I don't think it smells that bad, many others smell worse. But yeah, I think it is supposed to smell like a combination of fruits and vegetables + chemical substances. It might be slightly unpleasant, just try to take it during meals and not try to smell it. Or maybe check the color/expiration date, mine is a fresh blue-gray, if yours doesn't look like that, it might be a bad/expired product.

I honestly believe it does smell pretty bad. At first it seems as if it is a strong peanut butter-like odor, but than it gets to be a very strong odor that made me feel like I wanted to throw up, it was almost garbage-like. It didn't work for me, but seeing how you already ordered it, you should try it on your face and if you can stand the odor either, just return it or pass it on to someone who can stand the smell.

It doesn't smell the best, but its not bad. I've used other solutions and they all have some type of smell. Would'nt want to smell it all day, but its ok for the short time you're using it.

I guess I never noticed a "bad" smell, especially since I regularly get the brazilian blowout itself (now THAT is not a fun smell at first). I love this shampoo though, so if you can get over the smell you will love it!

I did not notice the odor and it does not smell now. I know what you are talking about though and have found if you have a product that smells like this leave it in a sealed container for a couple days with a small bowl of baking soda.

No, I have not noticed a smell of any kind from the product. I'm sure it has but it must be extremely light.

I want to say yes but honestly I can't remember...I've used it and it smells the same and seems to work good :)

Mine didn't have the smell, either. When it was brand-new, it had one of those "new" product smell a little but it went away fast.
