I read, that black castor oil should have a smokey type scent. Does this one have that scent due to processing of the bean?

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.

You should take a look at castor oil topically. I bought it for other reasons, but there are many people with great results for that issue in the reviews.

I too find it to work different in my hair. I noticed the first few ingredients have changed the order they appear on the new label. I think that has something to do with it. I have always loved the smell until now with the new black and lime label. I now smell like a man with this product. Its smell is very strong and doesn't smell fruity or light like it used to. If I wanted to smell like a man I would use American Crews brown label product for men and smells like it is for men

We did not have the experience of beans having a chemical smell. Sorry. Could packaging have something to do with that. Just a thought.

I actually didn't know that. I'm new to the essential oils. I under the impression that this was a pure, unprocessed essential oils, so I would be disappointed if it was processed. If you learn anything, please let me know. -thank you

IT is a formular so no it is not a 100% castor oil. I can tell you though once I used it I did not see any more pest.

That odor is not normal. I wrote a review about it and how it may be poisonous. I think it is a chemical they use to make the beans look plumper and heavier...since they sell these by weight not by piece. I have bought vanilla in the past and the odor from the beans sold by this company should alarm you.

I checked with Baar Products, Inc. as to the percent concentration of Castor Oil in the product. they would NOT answer. Only replied that it was a "proprietary blend." It's time to vate with our wallets and NOT patronize companies who doge questions and provide poor customer service.

Good morning. We sell authentic Tropic Isle Living Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil 8oz. This product is indeed as effective for hair loss as their pure Jamaica Black Castor Oil and the amount of Lavender Essential Oil added is also good for the skin/scalp while it slightly tones down the traditional "burnt nutty scent" of true JBCO while maintaining the effectiveness of the JBCO. We hope you will purchase from Jamaican Products USA.

I have never had a problem with dark and oily beans. We often use Starbucks darkest - the french roast, and never had a problem.

It has a very faint woodsy smell. The subtle smell goes away shortly after use. I have been into healthy face and body creams/oils since the 60's and we really do not need "fragrance" on our skin since it absorbs like a sponge. This oil is so light and really hydrates my dry skin so I have used it consistently since the early 90's. Used regularly you will be pleased with the results� I hope my response has helped.

It seems to me to smell like almond oil, even though I don't think there's any almond oil in it. At first I thought it was going rancid, but as I was using it I realized it smelled more like a vegetable type oil, and because I'm not used to lotions smelling like that, it's probably the reason I thought it was a little "off".

Tropic Aisle Living jamaican black castor oil is a good brand don't get me wrong, but for me personally the one with lavender works MUCH better for me, but this specific type just doesn't operate well with my scalp. Typical jamican black castor oil with no brand name that you get from the country may contain salt, and that's not good because the salt in the traditional jamaican black castor oil will eat up your hair, but you can ask them to import one that DEFINENTLY doesn't contain salt.

I mix it with Jamaican black castor oil and I leave it in. The product has a very strong smell so I don't use alot.

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 doesn't have a "woodsy" odor. It is mostly an herb smell (basil) with a hint of lime.
