I just received my Rosehip seed oil and it smells soooo bad. I can't even use it without gagging. Is this normal? I would like one that isn't spoiled.

Pure Rosehip Oil has an earthy non rose scent, it just does. Adding any number of Essential oils (make sure they are 100% pure high quality) will help the scent as well as add to the beneficial effects. Geranium or Rose Geranium is a good one that isn't as expensive as pure Rose EO but there are others that are beneficial for the skin some particularly good for particular purposes. They say you get the benefit of Rose essential oil by using Rosehip seed oil with significant savings.

Hi Justin, Sorry for the late reply. Your oil is not spoiled, I can assure you that. The batch you got is good for at least six months after you open it and one year if you refrigerate the oil as per the label instructions. Please note that Pure Unrefined Rosehip Oil (Purest Rosehip Oil, with nothing taken away) should always have a very characteristic smell, having a sort of warm and earthy tone: pleasant or unpleasant depending on your taste. This scent dissipates after a few minutes. You will likely find this in other brands as well, unless the oil is refined. Pure Rosehip Oil does not carry any rose fragrance or a "flowery" scent as the oil is extracted from the seeds or fruits and not from the petals which contain the aromatic molecules. Hope this helps. If you are unsatisfied with the scent entirely, please contact us via Amazon and I'll gladly refund your money in full. Regards, AJ

The oil does have a strong smell. It's a mix of mustard oil and brewed black tea. At least that is what it smells like to me. It definitely is not a pleasant smell but it's not lingering either. I have been using the oil regularly on my face and I see a noticeable positive change in my skin so I'm overlooking the unpleasant smell. If it makes you gag then you might need to look into an alternative oil, I use argan oil as well brought it from Morrocco and it is also great for my skin.

It's supposed to smell like that, it smells like eggs at first but it goes away almost immediately once it's on your skin. I put it on my face and I can't smell it anymore after a few seconds.

I talked to customer service about the awful smell. They said it's bc it is pure and has not been refined. It is normal for the pure oil to smell this way. I agree tho, it stinks.

I just smelled mine It does have a very odd smell. It smells similar to vitamins. I guess I'm used to the smellBecause my vitamin c serum smells like that as well. Try putting a drop or two in your hand and rub you finger in it. Then spread it on your face. I hope this helps.

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.comTelephone: 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 :-)

There is a very faint oily smell to it (not a rose smell). Otherwise once you mix it with water in your hair or put it on your skin it's unscented. If you want rose scent, I use Elma & Sana's Pure Moroccan Rose Water diluted in water to spray in my hair.

Mine was rancid upon delivery. In my option, it's a gamble as to how old the oil will be that you get. Assuming you get a fresh bottle, keep it in the fridge always. Go to the fridge to apply, then put it back in.

hi, yes there is a bit of oily odor...But I think it is normal to oils if they are not perfumed...

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..................

I never had any problems with a smell, but maybe one of the pills cracked and oil leaked out. That could be causing the smell. I would just pour them all out and check.

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.

Mine does not smell like fish. On the label, to the left side of front is a picture of three people in an oval, and below that is on the right is a "use by" date. Check to see if it is out of date or close to it. Keep in mind that once you open it, it MUST be refrigerated. I have never had a problem with Barlean's. I does smell oily, but then again it IS an oil, but I have no fish smell. I go through a 16 ounce bottle in about 6-7 days; using 1/3 cup per day.

Unless the rosehips are soaked in a base oil like Jojoba that would probably be classified as rosehip oil. I can't imagine why you would be disappointed with the rosehip SEED oil. Most oils that are directly from the plant would be extruded from the crushed seed! I don't believe you can squeeze oil out of the rosehip fruit itself.

Suggest you consider some other brands. It has an awful smell like spoiled nuts in its recent products which I received.

It is VERY smelly. I actually went back and checked the ingredients for fragrance when I got it. There is nothing artificial but the oils have a strong smell that smells artificial.

I am not sure what sea berry smells like but this is the seed oil, not the berry oil. It is not a pleasant smell and not one the I would use in a scented soap. I used this oil on my face and I do it at bedtime in part because the scent (to me) is strong and not something I'd want to smell on my face all day. I know that this is ingestible but again, because of the scent, I haven't gotten the nerves up to taste it!

If it is rancid smelling, there is something wrong with it. This rose water does not have a real strong rose smell, as it is water, not rose oil, but should not smell rancid. If you are sure it smells off, you should have it replaced.

What such a weird mistake! What kind of company is this! Are you sure it's black seed inside? Because it could be Mustard seed or something else!! [http://www.amazon.com/Indus-Organic-Black-Mustard-Seeds/dp/B005U8NMFC/ref=pd_sim_gro_18]. I'd contact the company/Amazon & let them know to see what they have to say about it, or replace you those bottles. Truth to say; they have a good ORGANIC black seed, is the only 1 I'm using myself, it's good quality seed, unless one bottle was strongly moldy smelling, (I will continue buying from them & if the future purchases seem to be good I'll review my feedback to them). Black seed for me is my medicine to my autoimmune disease, but I was never able to get used to its strong bitter taste, I grind it in a special coffee burr machine & fill it out in my vcaps myself, Excellent.

I sent an answer already but I don't know if it went through. There is no mention of any rosebud content. Strange. Just cottonseed oil snd essential oils in a special petroleum base. Sorry. I love the pruct, however.

According to my search on the web. This is unrefined and comes from the rose bush and is extracted from the seeds using the coldpress method. And there are also several things to look for since there are so many oils in the market. I hope to have been of some service to you.
