smell: Is it rancid or is this the normal smell of it?

I suspect it's rancid if it smells like fish oil. Many say that Jojoba has no scent. I disagree--I have a very acute sense of smell and I it has a very distinctive, light, vaguely sweet scent. It reminds me of a very faint aroma of baked goods, like pancakes or waffles (without the syrup.) I have never known it to smell like fish oil.

Wow! Wonde rif you got a bad batch. I wouldn't say it is an acidic smell - perfumey, yes, but acidic??

It has been awhile since I opened the box for the first time but I do not recall any unusual smells. Hope this helps. Mike

Yeah, it's a funky out of the box plasticy smell. It took about a week of use, for me, and it went away.

I don't know for sure but I always use the sniff test. If it smells normal your good if it smells rancid I would pitch

Yes, it should smell like roses, not rancid. Perhaps you received a bad batch.

I don't recall mine having any kind of smell, however, I have read that you may have that smell during the first two or three weeks. If it continues after that then you may have a problem. My guess is that smell will gradually subside over a period of three weeks. Especially if it is continually running 24/7 - which mine is.

I guess it depends on what is floating. It is suppose to have a little bit of fiber from the plant...but if it looks like a bug or anything odd, I would send it back. Also, smell it...it should smell good, not rancid.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

If it smells rancid it needs to be refunded! Rosewater will smell like anything from honeyed-butter to watered-down roses, but never rancid.

I don't keep mine long enough to go rancid but I make sure & keep it in a semi dark room that stays under 80. The shelf life is almost a year. You can frigerate it to last longer

Yes, that smell is natural. These are actually far less pungent than others I have tried. I highly recommend them.

I would imagine it's just marked like a food item meaning it's still good after that date, but just best used by the date marked. Being an oil like product (but maybe some preservatives in it), if it's too far past the 'best by date', it could go rancid. You would smell it if it was bad.

I can only smell the nutty scent, but my children tell me I smell like sushi when they kiss me (I use it on my face).... so, I think it's normal.

It does have a smell, kinda sour and considering that it contains humic acids, common in composted or fermented products, I can understand, but no it doesn't smell like rotten meat, that is a distinct smell and if yours does then you may have a problem ;D
