Is it just me, or do these smell like syrup? Not a problem, just curious why that is.

They smell like awesome! I LOVE the smell of printable DVD and CD. That coating should be a car air freshener!

The ones I have gotten don't smell like syrup. They work fine. I have had no problems with them.

I really never smelled mine, but didn't notice a smell coming from them.. but they work great for burning music to them.. I have ordered them several times.... and will order them again when I need them..

I never paid much attention till I got this e-mail but they do have an odor. It does not seem like syrup to me but more like some kind of paint. I also bought a 100 pack of Philips and they have almost the same kind of odor. The main thing is that they work.

The Scent is Lacquer sealant, which is used to coat the bottom to prevent excessive scratches on the write surface.

They are made of wood, and no they do not smell funny. I did have 2 pair warp on me but that may have been due to poor usage on my part.

Greetings Y. Tang. Yes it is normal for them to have a slight smell to them. However, it isn't unpleasant. If the odor you smell is too strong or you feel is not normal, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with your concerns and see if there is anything they can do for you. I hope this helped. :-) Be blessed.

They definitely have a faint rubber-esque fragrance, but nothing that would deter me from using them, or that struck me as noticably strong. . They kind of stink in terms of result though ;). I reviewed them, if you want to hear more. Hope that helps.

No. I do not ever smell them. They are kind of like wood pellets. The urine goes threw with no absorption.

They smell a little like rubber but, not to the point of throwing them out. I do air them out after every wear.

They do have a smell all of their own. I bought a grinder so I can grind them up and yes they are somewhat bitter. I haven't used them for any baking as of yet. Should I use them?

Every distiller I've ever owned has produced an odd smelling product.. I've owned this unit for a while now but maybe the odd smell/flavor I'm experiencing the same as other distillers (including all stainless steel models). I run my distilled water through a brita to remove the odd smell/flavor. Even store bought distilled water is run through carbon to remove the odd flavors. perhaps this smell you folks are talking about is different than the one I experience and only applies to the ones manufactured after the one I purchased.

I would return them. There shouldn't be a smell or a strong taste. Ours have none.

I think they smell kind of fishy. The smell reminds me of a harbor where there are fish boats coming and going with lots of birds following the boats. Kind of like fish combined with boat exhaust. A bit smelly, but reminiscent of some good memories! No fish burps for me.

That's a good question. I wondered the same thing before buying. They smell like real cologne with slight hints of tobacco. Very pleasant colognes. I'm terrible at describing aromas, but the blue one smells fresh, the orange one is more citrus. The gold one (my favorite) is musky and the red one, actually smells more like tobacco, which I really enjoy - but it doesn't last as long as the others. Well worth trying.

The unbroken capsules? No. To me they smelled vaguely of dried straw grass, not at all unpleasant. The after-burps? Not to be too gross, but that's very close to describing what they kind of "tasted" like. I couldn't continue taking them because they were that nasty.

Yes, I noticed this, too. I'm wondering if it's maybe a formulary change that came along at the same time as the new packaging, because I've been buying these from Amazon for years and there wasn't the awful smell before with the other packaging.

Yeah mine smelled too. Sort of like fake leather/mothball. I've had them since August and yes, they do still smell, but I have to say, less so than in the beginning and more tolerable.

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

I have the same problem with scents. I can still smell the scents, but it doesn't seem to bother me as much. Usually I get a headache immediately and so far with this product I have not. I will update with more information after I wear them a while.
