Just received. Is there a reason it smells so badly. Even just opening the bottle, the smell in the room is bad, not to mention my breath.

I did notice the smell, but I'm not sure why they have that chalk smell to them. I really didn't get any results either while taking them. I feel the reviews were false.

Hi, Sorry but we no longer have the bottle because we used it all. It did not have a very strong odor.

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.

I've had several bottles now, none of them have had any noticeable scent. I wonder if you're maybe confusing this extract with an essential oil?

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

To be honest, maybe refrigeration is best. I got my bottle and could NOT take the smell. It smelled bad from the minute I opened it, and did not refrigerate. I tried to tolerate it because of supposed benefits, but I ended up emptying the bottle down the sink. It smelled like rotten bouquet of roses. I don't know if that's the way it smells or I got a bad bottle, but you cant go wrong putting it in the fridge.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

I've sprayed it in a cellar and left it for a day. When I brought it back into my closet, I could smell it for perhaps another day. Same using it outdoors...a day or so of residual odor. I don't think the smell is awful, just odd.

I don't think it smells that bad, many others smell worse. But yeah, I think it is supposed to smell like a combination of fruits and vegetables + chemical substances. It might be slightly unpleasant, just try to take it during meals and not try to smell it. Or maybe check the color/expiration date, mine is a fresh blue-gray, if yours doesn't look like that, it might be a bad/expired product.

I've been through several bottles since I started using it, but have never noticed any odor. It has a unique smell, that I find neither strong or unpleasant.

I had the same problem. tried cleaning, and using it. The bad smell and taste never went away. So i sent it back. I agree smells like burning plastic.

I've had 2 batches that had the terrible smell. The first I poured out thinking it had gone bad. Then I read somewhere that sometimes racking it repeatedly and getting more oxygen into it makes the smell go away. I tried that the second time it happened to me and the smell disappeared. Not sure what will happen now that it's bottled.

Mine has no smell whatsoever. Just received it last week. Maybe you should send it back!

My pills have no horrible smell...you apparently received a bad batch. Recommend not taking them and returning them for another bottle.

Just got a new bottle and it is not clear and smells like alcohol (my last bottle was brown and smelled like coffee), has anyone else had this experience?

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.

It may be a factory reject or it may be a fake. Regardless, somethings not right. Ask for a refund from Amazon. I did and they gave me my money back. I compared bottle I receives from Amazon to a bottle from Nordstrom and the 'Amazon' bottle doesn't smell same.
