was the smell really that bad

The smell wasn't good, but I didn't mind it. It simply didn't do anything. I couldn't see any detectable difference.

The fragrance wears off after you apply it in a few hours. It wasn't offensive. No one ever commented on it. I just noticed it wasn't the usual scent you would find in most other lotions creams etc. Hope this helps. Sorry I hadn't answered sooner.

No the smell is NOT bad at all for me. And, it really helps me with anti-aging results!

It's intense at first and it's seriously how your clothes would smell if you were standing next to a bonfire all night. The smell lasted for a few weeks, partly, I think because we're in a small apt and were not really able to let it air out. I did Fabreze the fabric parts and that seemed to help. But it definitely stunk severely at first.

Ours smelled TERRIBLE. It was a very moldy smell. There was no wet film though. We've had ours for a little over 2 months. We thought airing it out would help. While the odor is not as noticeable as it was originally(you could smell it upon entering the room!), it's still there. I smell it when I sit on it, and the smell transfers to items touching it (blankets, clothes, etc). Yuck!

Don't know, but while the smell was distinct for a week, I wouldn't call it awful. They are in our garage at the back door, and we never really noticed. They have really heals up, for what it is worth.

Clare, I am not sure if it's a true Young living. The label states it is, however, the smell was horrible.

I recall the smell. It did not last very long at all. We bought ours in the late fall. The weather precluded opening the windows. So we didn't have to air out the bedroom to eliminate the smell.

No mine didn't smell bad, just like new plastic (and I get migraines from strong odors).

No, this thing smells so nasty we had to use it as far away from the house as we could. Works great though! Hope this helps.

Mine came with the horrible smell as well. I put it outside to air out for a few days and I put it next to a bag of baking soda to absorb the odor too. After a few months, I've noticed that the smell is no longer present.

It wasnt the nasty smell. To me it smelled just like the lotion. That ome reason why i love her line!

I didn't. That would have been too much. But to be honest, I took the oil off almost as soon as I applied it because of the overpowering smell.

Didn't seem so bad to me. I have allergies an asthma, but was able to do yard work, cut plywood, etc. and never noticed the odor very much at all. Hope this helps

The smell went away after a week or two. It was almost a kerosene type smell (maybe something in shipping?), but all fine now. Hope that helps.

To me, the smell wasn't that bad. I aired it out overnight and didn't smell it anymore. I have my case next to my bedside and it's fine.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps
