How strong is the minty smell, does it fade over time?

My pillow had a very strong smell and I could not use it because of my allergies to perfume. I don't understand why they would do this to a perfectly good pillow.

It's very faint...matter of fact my girlfriend never could smell it (but her smeller never worked well anyway...LOL), and it does fade sooner than one would expect.

Strong to me. Had couple of weeks. Too strong to use, mostly confused by it and curious to what degree it is natural versus chemically induced. I'd say it's a six on a scale of ten.

The smell is very minimal. In fact, the pillow comes in a sheer net case and then with another pillowcase/cover with a zipper. I couldn't smell the pillow at all. Especially when you put one of your pillowcases on.

YES! OMG! I swear, I have had it for almost a year and it is the same still on a scortching hot day here in Florida, I still smell it. Granted it has drastically lost the smell, but it is still there on a hot hot day.

Yes Eric. Over time, a short period too, the smell faded. Now it's the best organizer I have found to date. I look from time-to-time but found this the best size and capacity.

If you make a point to smell it, it still has that odor. But I don't notice it on a daily basis, nor do I notice it when I'm handling it for use. I bought mine in August to give you a sense of the wear on it. The odor has dissipated a little since I bought it, so I assume it will continue doing so over time.

Hard to describe, maybe a bit musty/grain like? When it was new it was quite strong, I put a few drops of mint essential oils to make it more refreshing. After a few months the odor is very faint and doesn't bother me.

Hello, they strength obviously deteriorates over time but I've never really made a point to track just how long they last. I don't typically have a need to use it on a DAILY basis but my experience has been that I can get 2-3 months of use before the strength reduces to a point where I open a new one. I like these much better than the VICKS brand and have been pleased with Olbas inhaler and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them unless someone has a dislike for the smell of peppermint.

It does not have a mint fragrance. It is a good product and I have been using it for 3 years.

I do not think of it being minty. It has a fresh clean smell, but I don't notice mint. Great product.

yes it smells like mint but when you rub it in which you should, it will disappear. You do not need much.

The smell is not constant, it depends on the wind, and if you can tolerate a sniff once in a while, you will be rid of flies in no time. Amazing. I keep being amazed every day, the product has not expired and I have had it up for a a few months. Happy.

To me, it doesn't have a strong smell. And the finish is unbelievable. I used it in a garage in the summer with small windows and was not overwhelmed.

It has a very strong scent. I hate air fresheners and was very concerned it was going to be awful when I opened the product. But its pleasant and wears off fairly quickly once its dried.

It's extremely strong right out of the box (of course) and for the first couple days. But after a few weeks you probably won't notice it unless you are actually laying down on the mat or making close contact with your face. If you're running, walking or working out where you're on your feet most of the time, you probably will be used to the smell after a few weeks.

to be honest. after first cleaning it somewhat strong, but aired it out for bout 15-20 mins and to me no problem light smell which lasted a day or two and then all gone.

Mine had a hint of mint, there is an odd smell, but after you use it the smell will soon go away. It's a lot like vinegar if you use vinegar to clean with...it's there when you first spray it but eventually it will go away. If you are concerned, contact the company and tell them. I don't know as it goes 'bad' as I've bought by the gallon and sometimes a gallon will last me months.

No, nothing is wrong with it. That's how mine smelled too. Very minty. Was overpowering at first. Now, since I have used it a few times, it's not bad.

Yes, it does have a strong fragrance at first (kind of like lemon pledge), but it calms down after about a day- another option is that you can dilute it with some water or vinegar to makes it less strong. The scent for me is very clean and good smelling and doesn't bother me.
