When I first read reviews about Chi Silk Infusion on Folica, people liked the product but a lot of people complained that it smells too much like men's cologne.
Chi has probably received some complaints about this and hopefully they will end up changing the scent.

This is what I was gonna say. When I first started using it I had to stop because the smell actually made me nauseous, but I found out later that if you apply it right after you wash your hair somehow the smell is not that bad.

Natural again ... this time for good!
Believe it or not, the Aphogee 2 step used to smell WAY worse back in the day (late 80's to early 90's). I smell it now and I'm like, wow, they have REALLY improved on the smell!
Co-sign!! I've used the original Aphogee in the 90s and let me tell you ... that stuff smelled like a wet dog in heat. The new stuff pales by comparison.

Yeppers it sure does ... but that's probably why I like it.

I can't do it 
I have eliminated all bad smelling products for the sake of my mental health
My nose it too sensitive.
I have 1 full bottle of aphogee 2 step and another bottle that is 3/4 full and I don't know what to do with it, cuz it is not going anywhere near my hair anymore.

Hilarious!ETA: Amla oil is the single nastiest smelling thing EVER. Someone could take a greasy dump right on the floor and it wouldn't smell as bad as that stuff. Puke. It's horrid. One time my DD almost spilled a whole bottle on the carpet. DH literally flew through the air to catch it before one drop hit the carpet... I've never seen him move that fast. Shoot, we'd have to either replace the carpet or move away!

My shikakai shampoo bar smells like a urinal! The scent doesn't linger on your hair (thank goodness) but if I forget and leave it in the shower... forget about it. My whole bathroom smells like someone peed on the floor. I keep the bar in a ziplock baggie.

SAA (Silk Amino Acids) smell like strong P.
It is so gross. One time I forgot it smelled bad and used it "after" I had put in my leave in. OMG
Raw Shea Butter or whipped Shea Butter without fragrance.. Ewweee. Stank.
Honeyquat stinks too.
I agree with whomever said Alma oil. That stuff does not smell good.

THANK YOU!! I have a huge bottle of that stuff, and I have NO CLUE what I will use it for. I can't do it

Exactly that. I can't - I can't - heck, I'm debating stopping using the V05 stuff because while it doesn't smell bad, the perfume smell is so strong it makes my eyes water!

Yeah, SAA does have a slightly fishy funk smell - I find that if I can smell it, that means I used too much. And I NEVER use it straight. I haven't noticed HQ having a funky odor, though - now I'm gonna be shoving my nose in it. I actually like the smell of henna and shea butter.
They smell 'earthy' to me.

Wild growth oil.
The first time i used it, I put it my hair and layed down on my silk pillow for sleep. The motion of laying down and hitting the pillow must have brought the smell to my face and I gagged ( I dont know why i didnt smell it when i opened it or was applying it
)I jumped up looking around my bed for a dead animal or something...then i finally put my fingers on my scalp, brought it to my nose and gagged again..then went to the bottle and put it straight to my nose and gagged again ..It was like a horror movie, every way i turned in my bed i smelled it...then i wrapped my hair in like 5 bandanas...still smelt it on my pillowcase, changed that and somehow the smell was on my bed sheet...and i could still smell it through my bandana's
This was before I knew you could wash your hair everyday (thought 2x a week max)....So the next day it was august like 90 degrees outside...thought maybe no-one could smell it....Me and my friends went for a ride in my car..We rode for about 15 min. w/the air on before anyone said anything...then everyone rolled their window down because of the smell.
So we were all sweating and hot...and of course I was sweating from my scalp and the smell was all in my nose.
Now it doesnt bother me at all!
But i use it wet, and have another one i use on dry hair but its mixed with another oil LOL
Also I hate
Refined coconut oil and ghee (have about the same smell), also castor oil.
