I guess I never noticed a "bad" smell, especially since I regularly get the brazilian blowout itself (now THAT is not a fun smell at first). I love this shampoo though, so if you can get over the smell you will love it!

it does kinda have a unusual smell. But not sure it's bad or lemons. Ha. Sorry

To me, all shampoo products relating to any chemical treatments stink! However, after just experiencing Kerisilk treatment and products this smells much better. I do, once a week treat myself to Moroccan Oil shampoo as a treat. Just live and enjoy!

Mine smells fresh and like a hair product. Kind of like hair spray.I know that sometimes my nose doesn't smell things right. If you can, have another person sniff it back fire you still being back.

Mine did not smell the same. Be careful, maybe something is wrong. If I were you I return it and replace it with another one.

Cyn, it is normal, no need to be worry. The soap is made from tree ashes and herbs, so color really depends on that ! The smell might be weird fr some people, but it's a little miracle for all kinds of problems. I even healed my dog and his skin with it. Best of luck Cyn

It smells clean. Kinda hard to describe that clean smells like though lol at least for me, hopefully someone else can elaborate. but it does smell very nice and not overpowering.

The shampoo and conditioner both have a sweet flowery smell to them. I haven't used the packet in a long while, but I seem to recall that it does not have much of an odor at all.

Hi, I actually bought this because people on a long hair care forum raved about this exact product on their hair. However, from my experience, this smells like bacon a millions times over. A small amount will stink then whole house and its hard to wash the smell out. If it gets on your hands it will smell for days. Also it left my hair feeling simultaneously oily and really dry. I never used it since be raise to me hair growth wasn't worth it.

The shampoo does smell good, but I agree with another response of the weighted-down feeling to the hair (along with use of accompanying conditioner). I guess I didn't need the keratin. I put it in my guest bathroom waiting to see if my sister would like to have it.

Ok that shampoo is not that thick. I have very long hair and use about a 50 cent size dollop in my hand. But your hair must really be wet for it so suds up and remember to shake the bottle. The smell is a little clinical but it doesn't bother me as I look for stuff that has no real big fragrance.

I find it hard to believe I purchased the same item as was purchased by the people answering this question. There is a definitely a smell - kind of like a strong plastic smell, which is there even when the unit is not turned on (and just gets stronger when it is). Granted, I've only had this for about 5 days, so hopefully it will go away.

I purchased this product for my girlfriend about 3-4 weeks ago and she has been using it ever since. We are by no means experts on this product, but she did mention that after she uses the shampoo bar, she uses her normal conditioner and we are not seeing the greasiness that you are describing. She also said that every once in a while (maybe once a week) she uses her old shampoo instead of the bar. Hope this helps.

Julie, I think the product smell is very light and not at all unpleasant. Could it be you got an out-of-date or defective product?

I'm usually very sensitive to any smells, but I didn't notice a smell when I opened the box. Or, if I did, it must not have been very strong and I didn't think much about it. If I were you, I would wash an item and see if it still smells. If it does, I would return it. I think some of them smell and some don't. You're not the first person to mention it. Maybe it depend on how long the pieces get to "air out" before they're packaged...

not that I have noticed and I am fairly sensitive to 'smell' that is out of place.I used to wash hands and face this morning, it's light and refreshing. If you give it a try, will you please let me know what YOU think of this soap? :)

The smell is unique and difficult to describe. It is not floral or perfumy.it smells clean and good. It is personally my favorite scented shampoo because it is nice but compliments my perfume and lotion instead of competing with it . I sometimes use oils in my hair and it doesn't compete with them either. Hope this helps a little bit.
