I recently used the product and didn't find the scent too bad. It smells like a spice mix or comparable to wet soil. When you wash it out you use conditioner so that masks it until your hair gets wet again. The first time you wash it you can use shampoo and after the smell may still linger, but is very faint. I also heard you can add essential oils to the henna powder mix, such as lavender or any oil you like. Just be careful with citrus scents, lemon will bring out the red color in this shade, but if that's something you desire..go for it. There's a lot of good info in forums if you google henna. I tried mine with black tea, someone also recommended coffee instead of just plain water. You can personalize it and over time you will find what works best for you. I was a first timer about a week ago and love the result. It covered my gray hair, the parts missed were due to my inexperience coloring my own hair using henna. It's a great product. I already ordered more for the next try. I hope it does last the 4-8 weeks, so far it's beautiful. My hair feels healthy and shines.

Yes it does smell but it only lasts for less than 10 minutes. They tell you not to use everythree hours, but I have and have had no ill effects.

I've used my current set for 30-40 hrs working with wood. still can't smell wood with the mask on. It may depend on what you are breathing in. the activated carbon may saturate quicker with harsh chemicals

This was done outside on our deck by my husband. I thought it smelled pretty awful; he did not (not uncommon). However, it dissipated in a reasonable amount of time. I remember suggesting a mask when he did the application, but he did not use one.

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

No, it has a OK smell. Well, I read reviews and some people didn't like the smell, it didn't bother me. But now I noticed after using it for several months that it's stopped working as well. I'm switching to another one, which my friend recommended but I cannot remember the brand off the top of my head right now.

I am maybe more sensitive to chemicals than most people, and unfortunately, I would say after letting it air for 2 days, that there is still a very unpleasant smell. I put a mattress cover on top of it, but I still notice a very unpleasant smell. I don't notice it until I am in bed, where it's very close to my face.

It's not bad at all. It just sort of burns and tingles. I can't describe it any better than that. You leave it on for about 15 minutes or longer and then wash it off. It's not super uncomfortable by any means. Not for me, anyway. I hope this helps!

I really wish I could answer that, but it doesn't smell like anything I am familiar with. It doesn't smell like anything, though, after it's on you for about 5 minutes. It just stops you from stinking.

After airing it out for 48 hours as recommended. It still had quite the strong smell. So one weekend when I was away. I stripped away my bed ppened the bedroom window and aired out over the weekend. Now the odor is considerably less still there but cry mild and much less annoying.

I did not notice the odor and it does not smell now. I know what you are talking about though and have found if you have a product that smells like this leave it in a sealed container for a couple days with a small bowl of baking soda.

With it being a new item, it may take a little while for the smell to go away. You could probably take a very lightly dampened cloth with fabreeze and wipe it down to see if that helps a little.

Had mine for about a month now, and no one notices to smell, I can't give a number because I really don't remember how much times I've used this, I hope that helps

Hi, Well it is very light and I would say it takes a few minutes to dissipate. I just tested and it's been 15mins and I don't smell any fragrance. Good luck.
