Does this smell like coconut? Or have any kind of smell at all? I've never smelled coconut oil so wasn't sure if it was something to worry about. Thx.

It is fractionated coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil smells like coconuts and is solid at temperatures below 75F. Fractionated coconut oil is odorless and is liquid down to 40F. Sometimes with some patients, but not all patients, when the fractionated coconut oil is applied to their skin, the fractionated coconut oil combines with their sweat and there is a rancid smell. However, the fractionated coconut oil is not rancid. It is the combination of fractionated coconut oil and their sweat that smells rancid. If you smell the oil directly in the bottle you will find no smell. Fractionated coconut oil has a very long shelf life of many years. It is fractionated coconut oil.

It has no odor at all. I wouldn't know what kind of oil it is if the ad didn't state that it is coconut oil.

It seems to me to smell like almond oil, even though I don't think there's any almond oil in it. At first I thought it was going rancid, but as I was using it I realized it smelled more like a vegetable type oil, and because I'm not used to lotions smelling like that, it's probably the reason I thought it was a little "off".

It's coconut oil, not palm oil. It has a very slight coconut smell and is clear or white when solid.

I can only speak from my experience and after receiving the Dabur Vatika, it smelled awful! Like rancid and very strong. I sent it to my sister and will NEVER buy it again. I strongly suggest you use organic coconut oil after researching several brands and the companies.

I use a vegetable base oil to mix with thieves or it cab burn your skin. Never tried coconut oil.

The product does have coconut listed for one of the ingredients, but you can not smell it. it does have a strong spice smell.

The bottle I got is definitely refined. It doesn't specify by what process on the label, but it has no coconut scent whatsoever.

There is vanilla essential oil in it to provide the scent. I use plain, organic coconut oil on a daily basis and I believe that this product only contains coconut oil besides the vanilla.

The scent is sweet, but not strong. Not flowery. It doesn't smell like almonds nor coconut to me, it's just a light, sweet fragrance. Not overpowering at all. It won't linger after your hair is dry.

The bottle says that it is tropical scent. It smells nice and the smell does linger long with my dogs. I have bichons. For some reason I think my female is part pig though...she loves to get dirty and stinky really fast. The smell has a slight maybe coconut smell but it is just a nice, fresh smell that doesn't overpower anything. I hope that helps.

I use both the naturally refined and extra virgin coconut oils from BetterBody. Although I have never really experienced a coconut smell from either, the naturally refined typically has no residual coconut smell or taste while sometimes the extra-virgin can.

It does have a small hint of coconut smell. BetterBody does produce a cheaper product that is to be used topically that has no smell as well. Bob

No, it is a natural oil and is always in a solid form until the temperature goes a few degrees above that considered room temperature....it's easily scooped out of the big container for use. It has been refined and that process ends up removing the fragrance of "coconut"....it's an excellent oil; we love it.

No, just a wonderful satisfying flavor. It does not have what you'd expect as a "coconut" flavor. I stir fry with it, bake with it, many things....no coconut-y taste.

Mine looked more like a flower to me. Actually, I found the bottle unacceptable, as if the oil hardended, it was time consuming to warm it up to a more liquid state. Perhaps yours has a chunck of coconut shell???

Yes. It smells just like coconut. And it feels great when you apply to your skin or hair

It smells like CEDAR. Sweet? Woodsy?I have had stronger smelling CEDAR. I guess it depends on how much Cedar Oil they put into it and/or how much filler.
