I am planning on incorporating Olive and Almond Oil into my hair regimen.

I've never really noticed a smell with olive oil so I always use the kind you can get at the grocery store. Are you using virgin or extra virgin? You can contact camden grey and ask if their olive oil has a scent. A link is below. I also get my sweet almond oil from the grocery story or Indian market. Camden grey also sells sweet almond oil. Good luck.
