Mine was just delivered; love the color and the flame effect, but I'm finding the vanilla scent artificial and over-whelming. Will the scent fade?

I can only smell my vanilla ones if I get very close and whiff and then it's just a subtle smell (even when they first arrived, there as only a subtle fragrance). Maybe you just happened to get ones that were intensely perfumed at the factory -- hope they fade out for you!

I have had mine for about 3 months and it has faded a bit but I can still smell it.

The scent was a little strong in the beginning but I found over time, the scent is definately was less and less noticeable.

I just took mine off the mantle and put on the end table. Couldn't smell it until it was right next to me You can still smell a faint but nice vanilla. I've had mine for over a year.

Hi Nancy,I have 7 of these in my home. I wish I could smell them but to me their smell is almost nothing. So I guess I can say the scent will fade.

I would send it back for one without the vanilla scent it takes awhile to fade.

Mine has a nice fragrance to it. I am thinking I've only used it once, (haven't been doing alot of cooking lately,) but I boiled I small amount of it with some apple peels to freshen the air in the kitchen and if I remember right it made it even stronger.

Unsure, I enjoyed the product I got and will certainly buy it again when I need more product. I enjoyed the scent and texture it whipped up as when I blended it with essential oils/carrier oil for a body butter and I love how it feels on my skin. Maybe some people aren't enjoying that aspect and that is why?

If I remember correctly, there was a pungent aroma at first. However, over the last couple months it has faded down to near nothing (I just gave it a sniff now before writing this). I suppose if it's really bugging you, leave it outside in the sun for an hour or so (anything longer and it might start cracking due to its fake nature) to let any coatings or chemicals off-gas.

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?

I always use thus and it should be very light with little to no smell. I would return it if I were you. Do you mind telling us which Seller you bought this from? I just bought a new one myself and it's fine. Just wanna make sure I stay away from whoever you bought from. :-)

I love mine. It's herbal and smells like citrus - oranges. It is not cheap. If you thought it was bad go to Loreal on line. I think it is wonderful. Herbals are usually put in a neutral oil as a carrier.

I just went and smelled it and I don't think it's strong at all. I don't even notice it when applying. The light scent that it does have though is floral. I also have No7 and DermaE's scent is about half that.

Ours has a very subtle vanilla scent, not offensive. I'd rather it didn't but my granddaughters like it.

My opinion is that the fragrance is mild. However, I'm leery of even saying that because I am concerned you may think otherwise. I think something like fragrance is quite subjective. My idea of mild may not be yours! :-) Whether this product's fragrance is mild or not...it does last for a couple of days. Does that mean it's over-perfumed?

Personally, I did not care for the very stong, in my opinion, vanilla smell. I am very sensitive to some smells. I am using the cream on my feet. Seems to be working well there.

My experience is that the blend is so subtle you won't be any more aware of the patchouli than any of the other notes. In fact, the oil blends so well that I would be surprised if anyone would pick up on its fragrance at all once you were dressed. Only my 4 year old son seems to notice "a good smell" when he snuggles me close.

Well I did notice that it seems the oil is dispersed right away and then hardly any fragrance. Except for patchouli oil ! One drop of that almost runs me out of the house and I'm not sure I even like it.Try more drops or different brands maybe. But I do wish it filled the air with a more potent aroma.

Mine did not smell the same. Be careful, maybe something is wrong. If I were you I return it and replace it with another one.

You might google the original maker to find the answer to this. I don't remember mine smelling bad, I'm real sensitive to scents. That is why I became a Scentsy consultant. I hope this helps

Diana, I have to tell you that I didn't notice any bad smell at all. They smelled a very little like rubber at first, but why wouldn't they. I don't notice anything at this point. There was nothing annoying in the smell as far as I was concerned. It could be that some people are much more sensitive to some smells than others, like those that really can't tolerate some perfumes, etc.. I hope this helps. I will also mention for others as well, that I thought the yellow color was kind of neat and not garish at all.

You could say the scent has a bit of lemon in it...but once you put it on it disappears almost right away. I think you got the right one!
