Does this smell "chemical-y" rather than a bit "fish-y"? "Now double DHA" smells a bit fish-y but this one smells much more chemicaly. Is that normal?

Yes, my new bottle definitely has a "chemical" or "industrial" smell to it. Previous bottles have not. The capsules also taste noticeably more bitter. I'm concerned and I've reached out to NOW.

Maybe a slight "plastic scent" from the bottle. Other than that, no smell at all.

The label pictured here shows 320mg of DHA and 130mg of EPA. However, the bottle I received is labeled 270mg of DHA and 135mg of EPA. I'm curious as to why there is a 50mg discrepancy in the amount of DHA?

It's not odorless but I wouldn't say "dead fish" either.. if you've operated an alcohol fueled stove before then you will know the smell. In my use I haven't experienced any change in any tastes of foods/drinks heated by the fuel because of the fuel smell.

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.

That's a good one. I've ordered from natures one directly and from here and both had the same lables. Unless its the non dha one they sent or nature made a slight recent lable change and amazon has older ones, check the dates on the bottom of the can.

I would definitely say NO - it should not smell like that............in my opinion, it has a light, fresh smell, not like perfume or some type of fragrance but maybe a TAD medicinal....I think that is the Tea Tree oil in it........it also has Vitamin E in it that should help keep it fresh and not let it get rancid............none I have ordered has ever smelled rancid..................

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

Yes, it does smell fishy because that's what's in there, but I swallow them too fast to be bothered by any aftertaste. It wouldn't bother me anyway; it's a great supplement!

No, the original formula had a terribly fishy smell, but no after taste. My recent order was a different formulation that neither smells nor an aftertaste/burp issue.

Hi Dr. Rusty. Honestly i did not notice a difference between this and a previous brand's "regular" flavour seaweed snack. The next time i try these i will try to pay more attention to the flavour. Please don't hold your breath however, as i will likely try a different brand next time. (Only because i've tried just one other brand so far -- with a "regular" or "plain" flavor, IIRC -- the two different brands tasted exactly the same to me, though i admittedly did not do a proper side-by-side taste test with both products present at the same time.)

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.com Telephone: 1-866-365-5339). I described this smell as rather a motor oil-like (this is what it reminds me). They say it's normal for the first cycles :-) It's a glue that holds the parts together and it gets burned initially. The explanation makes sense to me, so I will give it a try. No plans to drink this water, though, until the smell (and the taste) goes away. The idea was to drink pure water, not diluted glue :-)

I agree with you it does have a fishy odorThis is the first time I ever bought Rose Hip oil so I don't know if this is what it supposed to smell like. I just hope it is from roses. It doesn't fade the sun spots like they said either.

The bottle we got to try has a oily smell but not particularly a fish smell. Mixing it with flavored yogurt is how I use it.Keep it refrigerated, I suspect it could get rancid in heat.

I would say it is more herbaceous. I don't find it an unpleasant odor but I could see how someone unfamiliar with the oil might be a little "put off" by the smell.

No, I have had mine a long time and no scent change. It definitely did not smell like fish at all. It was almost scentless. I believe you received a bad batch and I would open a immediate resolution request and be very adamant. This is such a great product-well worth it and I love it. Great company too. I am sorry you re having problems. Good Luck.

I believe the source of this DHA comes from algae instead of fish. Fish can sometimes be contaminated with mercury which is harmful to babies in the womb so this is safer for pregnant women.

My previous bottle was good. But the recent one-Now Foods Jojoba oil smells like fish oil. I couldnt bear it ! I discarded it...
