Does the VOGMASK have any smell at all? I have tried so many masks and they have a hint of chemical smell that gags me.

I'm very sensitive to smells and noticed none. The way the mask fits is great and I have really found it helpful although I can't take a incense filled church or room.

No chemical smell at all. I seem to recall that there was a very, very slight almost herbal smell, but it never bothered me. It's a very nice and comfortable mask.

I washed with fragrance-free hand-wash detergent first and noticed no smell with use.

Right off it had a smell, so I washed it with soap a few times, let it dry and now the smell is totally gone.

I've found no problem with breathing in this mask... I believe the slightly larger holes on the mouth area are designed for allowing easier air flow. hope this helps :)

My eyes can move under the mask and unlike other masks I don't feel like it squishes my eyes. I love it. I can wake up and open my eyes and still have the illusion it's dark out...and for a nurse working night shift I couldn't imagine sleeping without it!!!

I didn't find that it had any significant smell, being more of a canvas material than proper plastic any "new" smell disappears quickly and I never found it a problem :)

I've used my current set for 30-40 hrs working with wood. still can't smell wood with the mask on. It may depend on what you are breathing in. the activated carbon may saturate quicker with harsh chemicals

Ok, I will answer this question based on experience. It does block odors. I wear this mask in a location that burns their trash in a pit. The fire is some times accelerated with diesel fuel. To say it smells toxic is a huge understatement. This mask will block the smell. It is actually amazing. I wear the mask at the location I work and it is amazing what I can't smell. Anyways, this mask will block odors that are particulate odors such as an open burn pit.

When putting my nose to the container, there was a smell but nothing bothersome. I used it very successfully to get rid of voles that were making a mess in my yard. I did not notice a smell then. It is a deterrent making the rodents think there is a predator in the area. It will not kill them but chase them away. I put the Shake Away in the holes and in the trails they made. I have dogs that would probably lick it, so didn't put it in their area, not knowing what it would do to them.. The voles seemed to stay away from the dogs area anyway. Since last Spring, my yard has been vole free. When putting my nose to the container, there was a smell but nothing bothersome.

I have not noticed any odor when using this product. When I use this to make a once-weekly mask, I combine with a little bit of water in my palm. It makes a gritty paste (fairly dry) which I then apply to entire face, avoiding the eye area. I leave on for 15 minutes and rinse with cool water. It leaves your face feeling silky smooth.

It's not super hot. I've tried a lot of different mask and I really like this one. I'm a mouth breather too and this works well for me. I have been hand washing to keep it clean and free from dust etc.

I just got one of these last week and did not notice a smell. I usually will notice smells, especially chemical smells. It had a hint of something for a just a moment when I opened the box, but otherwise all good. I say go for it!

It is a very small mesh. Mine did not have a chemical smell. I am delighted with mine.

I love all the masks. The lemon/mint is great for getting rid of blackheads and oil, very refreshing, but I use one of their moisturizing masks (either the Goji Berry hydrating or the Honeydew/Chamomile sleep mask) after most of the clay masks. I usually do a Pomegranate peeling mask, then a clay mask, then a moisturing mask. My face then feels and looks great! I have all the masks and have been a fan for years. You can get them all directly for $3.99 from Freeman.com. Love the site! Hope this is helpful.

Mine doesnt have any smell at all i would try cleaning it with dreft stain remover. As weird as it sounds it is a really good cleaner for stenches (cant say ive ever tried it on that smell) or exchange it. I bet it warmed up somewhere that caused the plastic to smell that way.

These are surgical masks with a cover sheet to protect from splashes. They are not truly reusable, although I will wear one more than once. There is always the risk of contaminating the inside of the mask from materials that would gather on the "cover" when taking it off and on. I find that these are durable and comfortable and without overwhelming odors. You may want to look for other masks which have a valve to allow the discharge of breath if you are exerting yourself. Nearly all masks are meant for a single use. Beyond these are actual haz masks like they wear in the movies with replaceable filters and hard shells capable of disinfection.

I would get some. I didn't personally play with this mask, bought it as an extra and my brother had a very bad experience with fog. So any drops recommended.
