What does it smell like? Is there a strong odor?? And is it oily or is it water based?

It does not have any discernible odor. I find that it does add a little bit of an oily feel to my hair if I use it twice a day as recommended.

No odor, water base. Be careful I spilled the content twice .just screw cap

Critter, I just opened the jar, so I could answer your question. I cannot detect a strong smell at all. A very very slight light fragrance that I cannot identify. Not a chemical smell, though.

There is no smell. I do water aerobics 3 times/week, and my skin develops dry, itchy bumps, especially in the winter. My dermatologist recommended this product. It really helps me.

The oil does have a strong smell. It's a mix of mustard oil and brewed black tea. At least that is what it smells like to me. It definitely is not a pleasant smell but it's not lingering either. I have been using the oil regularly on my face and I see a noticeable positive change in my skin so I'm overlooking the unpleasant smell. If it makes you gag then you might need to look into an alternative oil, I use argan oil as well brought it from Morrocco and it is also great for my skin.

It's not supposed to smell like fish oil - it really doesn't have much of a scent, maybe a little bit of a nut-like scent. It doesn't smell pretty if that is what you have in mind. Yes, it's oily but should absorb into your skin. I happen to love this product because I feel it's natural & does what it's supposed to do without all the frilly stuff.

I didn't notice a strong smell. The flavor is mild... it's hard to describe and unless you've had squid ink iit's impossible to imagine. Someone else said it's a flavor of the sea. I triedthe singles and this jar and it's a much better deal to get the jar.

It has a pleasant smell. Not strong at all. It smells like baby oil. It wears off quickly. Not heavy or perfumey.

I've not used this particular brand, but I have used other water soluble oils in the past. A mild petroleum odor seems to be the norm. And the rate or degree of spoilage seems to depend on who makes the stuff. I've solved that problem by mixing only what I need at the time I need it.

Emu Oil does not have a strong odor. It has a slight odor that vanishes a few minutes after use. It evaporates into your skin quickly and does not leave an oily residue after use (the oily feeling also vanishes after a few minutes). It is an excellent product that I have been using for many years. It helps to reduce swelling, and when an area of your body is inflamed and is warm from the inflammation, Emu Oil cools the area down when rubbed on the area. It is also excellent for dry skin. I have introduced many members of my family to the product and they are satisfied as well. I hope this helps you with your decision to purchase. I am sure it will be good for you. Have a great day.

I purchased for detox and skin softening, so I tried it in my bath right after opening the jar. I was not expecting the strong "fishy" ocean smell (silly me). It is truly reminiscent of the sea. My skin was itching after bathing, not sure if that's normal from a detox effect; will try again and see how it goes.

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 .

I also can't describe the smell...it isn't overbearing, but it smells good (kinda like the shampoo my hairdresser uses). My husband likes it! Hope this helps. :)

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.

Mine smells like lavender. The scent is more of the actual lavender essential oil versus the lavender "flowery perfume" scent you'll find in most other products.

There is really no smell to it. I love it though and it is a nice thick moisturizer and have bought it by the gallon for years.

It smells like a tea tree essential oil. ( not sure if that's the right tree )If your worried about it smelling bad, don't be. I about use it as cologne. All my female friends love it.

The smell is not bad. I used a water based top coat that I bought locally. FYI I still love the results!
