Regarding the smell...the bottle I received doesn't seem to have much smell at all. Wonder if it is counterfeit. What should it smell like?

I dont think it is supposed to have a certain smell, it is all dry seeds- ish powder, mine does not smell either.

When I smell the bottle it has an odor, but the capsule doesn't. I have never opened a capsule. The bottle should have a date on the bottom. I have been using them for a couple of years probably, and have never had a problem.

I think it smells wonderful and very familiar. I've seen reviews where people don't think it smells like it used to but I'd say it is very close. Hope this helps you. I am not disappointed at all in my purchase.

Well I bought a bottle and took it to my friend who buys directly from doterra... Well hers smelled a lot stronger than mine. The consistency felt off as well. I do not recommend buying from here.

It shouldn't have any smell at all. Please call Amazon and get a replacement. When I had it, it only had a very slight aroma...nothing bad.

I first bought a small bottle at whole foods health store to try (it was great) Then I ordered the 800 ct bottle and to me it smells like cat urine. Didn't notice that smell w/ the small bottle. I didn't know if it was normal.

A very slight smell when you sniff the bottle, but not after applying. I have not had anything stained and I use it daily!

Yes, my new bottle definitely has a "chemical" or "industrial" smell to it. Previous bottles have not. The capsules also taste noticeably more bitter. I'm concerned and I've reached out to NOW.

Don't risk it - and if you do only order from a seller that is "fulfilled by Amazon" (so you can return it, because you will probably need to). I received bottles that looked like the real ones (but it did NOT come in the packaging that the official duo comes in), but when I compared the scent of this to an authentic bottle it was very apparent that this it was not the real PM product. And with the volume of reviews that indicate others have had the same problem, I think it is best to stick with official Paul Mitchell suppliers (which you can find on their website - the price isn't that much more than the ones on here).

Hi, the smell right out of the bottle is sort of a shampoo-like smell that disappears after application and drying. It's definitely not one of those perfume scented, odor disguise products. The close to zero scent is one of the things I appreciate about it.

If you item came wrapped in cellophane, then you received a authentic product. Sometimes, the manufacturer has a bad batch and a few don't smell the same. All of our merchandise comes directly from the manufacturer. I suggest you exchange it for another bottle.

I've had several bottles now, none of them have had any noticeable scent. I wonder if you're maybe confusing this extract with an essential oil?

If you smell from the bottle there is a smell, but not unpleasant. When you put it on I do not notice any smell. It is a great product.

The best way is to know it from before. (years ago) OR find someone who does. Check quality of labels, tags and embossed names right in the glass bottle. If sloppy or missing where it is supposed to be would tip off a phony knock off scent. Also the manufacturer will dilute their own fragrance to save $ on the oil mix used to make that special smell.

Mine had no smell at all. This is the first time I've bought it, but I can't imagine it should smell like perfume! A quick google search doesn't turn up anything similar, either.

No, I think it's not original, thought the box and bottle was ok, but fragrance not last on the body more than 2 minutes. I can compare cause I used to buy this perfume in Italy many times
