Has anyone found this product to have a very strong, offensive smell, right from the bottle? And is this normal?

My bottle contains no offensive smell at all so I would say it it definitely not normal.

Yes, it does have a unique scent. I don't consider it bad- just natural. I am on my 4th bottle, & I don't really notice the scent anymore.

There was a "fragrance smell" that was very strong, and ended up giving me a headache... I am sensitive to perfumes =( . The product worked however and after using the product a few more the fragrance has not as strong and I now recommend the PFB Vanish + Chromabright. I think the fragrance must have settled and using the first few times had a concentrated amount.

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.

No it does not have a strong smell nor does it linger after use. There is no toxic warning on the bottle I have but it may have some petro products that are sometimes necessary to remove stains. I have asthma and it has never bothered my condition. Hope this helps.

Mine never had a really strong odor. There was a slight odor, but not an unpleasant one, for the first week or so but none that I've noticed since then. I think it just needed to air out a little. Now it just smells like leather.

It is VERY smelly. I actually went back and checked the ingredients for fragrance when I got it. There is nothing artificial but the oils have a strong smell that smells artificial.

Mine smelled really strange and then I realized it was the cilantro smell! Once I identified that, it smelled great. Mine was sealed correctly. Not a fake product.

Hi Franny,I found the product sub standard and I cannot even smell it! My bottle came with a broken spray nozzle so I am not able to use it and I cannot return it. If I were you, I would NOT purchase this product from this source, be safe and smart and go to a reputable store.

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.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

I completely agree about the smell, I find it repulsive. I mixed 2 drops of rosemary oil into 1 ounce of the cleanser today, and it definitely helped.

I hate to say it, but this one is deceiving. It 'smells' citrus-y when sniffing the bottle, however, like EVERY tanning product i've tried, it does have that awful (in my opinion) reactive smell, once it starts developing on your skin. for about a night. i have found myself only using it on my legs, because it is not as close to my nose that way. The color is amazing though. (if you can handle the smell.) :)

It is really strong smelling. It is being sprayed in a small contained area which compounds the problem. If using it again I would use goggles and a mask when spraying it. It worked really well and is standing up under heavy use.

I have never experienced this but everyone has their own sent of smell. There should be dessicant packs in the bottle to help with moisture which would probably bring out the smell more.

I did not have a unusual smell it was just like any other bottle that I have ordered before. Have been very pleased with this and the other bottle we have order.

there is an odd smell but, to be honest it doesn't bother me. The first couple of times I used it I was in school to become an esthetician and we used it with supervision so , I kno the smell is normal . It's kind of an electrical smell. The portable one I bought here on Amazon is just like the one I used in school but, much more portable. I am using it to stimulate collagen. I hope that helps.
