No. It doesn't smell like coconut. It does smell very earthy & Herbal. And it is a little thick. But it's a Very Rich Moisturizer !

Hello, with premium grade, unrefined organic coconut oil such has Thera Vita Paradise, there will be a slight scent and odor. It is in it's natural form.

I really didn't smell the coconut scent until I took some out the jar and massaged it in my hair. I hope this was helpful.

It does smell and taste of coconut, but not strongly. I haven't cooked with it.

Just my personal observation - while we love coconut oil, MCT oil is tasteless (at least for me), liquid at room temperature, and is odorless. While I don't object to the taste or smell of coconut oil, when you need an oil that does not have to be heated to get in a liquid state or you need taste-free, odor-free results, MCT is just right. As a massage oil it works great and actually absorbs and leaves less resdiue behind.And, as a supplement you don't have to get past the taste if you aren't a fan of coconut flavor.

It smells like vanilla and coconuts, and when I use it the scent is pretty strong so you should probably find a different product if you don't want to smell like that

My previous bottle was good. But the recent one-Now Foods Jojoba oil smells like fish oil. I couldnt bear it ! I discarded it...

For me, it smells like oil, for a lack of better description. I wouldn't say it is fishy. The smell doesn't bother me. It slowly disappears. I prefer it to fragrance.

It has a very faint smell of coconut, even though it says "unscented". It is not at all like the fake coconut smells you get with tanning oil or lotions. I can't smell it on my skin once it's on.

Since the day I purchased this cutting board, I have kept it wiped with coconut oil.. nothing else. I have never had a smell carry onto the next ingredient.. But then again, I only use coconut oil.

this is more for a carrier oil for massage (you can add essential oils to it)wouldn't recommend it for eating (you can Google it...not 100% sure). It has no smell to it (and probably no taste) but if you want a no taste coconut oil, I'll recommended Wilderness Family Natural.com, they have a non flavored coconut oil that I use for my frying and baking. Buying a gallon a year :) Hope it helps

It doesn't smell like coconut oil and I'm not sure if it's unrefined. I'm actually curious about that too!

I don't feel like they do. I have used this coconut oil for 2 1/2 years, so I could just be use to it. But, I don't ever remember anything having a strong coconut flavor. I will always use coconut oil to cook with. This is the only oil I use to cook or fry food in. I hope this helps.

No. It smells like coconut when you are frying, however, it does not taste strong. It does taste different on an egg than butter or bacon grease would - so, I just started using half and half and then finally my taste accepted the change. Try it for popcorn. It is the absolute best oil to use for that. I love to take slices of sweet potato(already baked) and fry them in coconut oil until they brown a bit - my grandchildren love it.

I've been using mine for about 3 months now, and it's still good. I use my organic coconut oil for everything. Cooking and hair and skin. Hope that helps.
