I do have to admit that it worked very well on my fine/thin/colored hair. Second time I tried it, I used JC awe inspiring and it masked most of the smell so it was tolerable, but I still have to work myself up to using it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810442644035993092.post-44341454564902710622010-03-12T19:39:49.055-08:002010-03-12T19:39:49.055-08:00Aubrey is just ALWAYS bad when it comes to smell! ...Aubrey is just ALWAYS bad when it comes to smell! AOHR, AOIN, AOMM, AOB5 -- just bad, bad, BAD, all of them! But I like the products, so I still use them. What can you do? And I must like them a lot. Because I have been known to drop products due to smell alone. But not with the Aubrey products.AnPhibianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14308541800877192868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810442644035993092.post-1811393958111275842010-03-12T18:13:13.822-08:002010-03-12T18:13:13.822-08:00I've heard the Seabuckthorn is nasty. I kept ...I've heard the Seabuckthorn is nasty. I kept looking for it onground so I could smell it before I purchased. I'll just skip it now hah.<br /><br />The worst smelling for me was LaCoupe Fragrance Free leave in spray. I now know why they put fragrance in hair care products. I thought I was going to die of chemical inhalation. I immediately thought, "wow, this is what it must feel like to die of poison gas." I immediately returned it.<br /><br />I'm not big on the food smells...though I don't mind them at all. Love the Strawberry ice cream smell of CJ Beauticurls Daily Condish. On the other hand, the H&B deep fix smells like rancid bubble gum to me. I don't smell any banana. I still use it, because I lurve it.<br /><br />Fruit (peachy esp) is good, and I love Hippie STINK!Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236428613436304381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810442644035993092.post-27276149182719104512010-03-12T13:35:19.399-08:002010-03-12T13:35:19.399-08:00I also find the CJ Curl Rehab gardenia scent not s...I also find the CJ Curl Rehab gardenia scent not so great. HOwever, I really dislike the Strawberry Ice Cream one, so when I repurchase, I'll get the gardenia, only cause I'd rather my head smell like a flower I have in my garden than like someone spilled milk n strawberries on my head. If it had been a full-on fresh strawberry scent, I'd have loved it. It's the milky tones I find offputting. I've also grown to like the SS caramel latter smell, which at first put me off. Now, I enjoy it. Funny how that one is not as milky as the CJCR. Agree with the ONE C. Nice. And the CJ H&B. Putting that on my head cheers me up.<br /><br />Scent for hair matters A LOT, cause I gotta smell that all day and my husband will kiss me and smell it. So, definitely im;portant.MirCurlsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810442644035993092.post-56300967326262626062010-03-07T21:13:30.819-08:002010-03-07T21:13:30.819-08:00I think AO Island Naturals smells like Bactine.

It doesn't stop me from using it, but I always feel like I should check the bottle to make sure I didn't grab the boo boo medicine by mistake. <br /><br />I love the scent of fruit/citrus. I love Darcy's Botanicals Peach Kernel Hydrating Milk. It just smells so nice. I also really like Alaffia Hair Lotion because it has a strong citrus scent (and works). Qhemet Biologics Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee smells good enough to eat.

I've read a lot about AO's products and I stopped at my local favorite organic store in my area and sound tada... AO's products! <br /><br />So I picked up the swimmers low-poo, GVP, AOMM, AND Aubrey Organics Sea Buckthorn Leave In and Curl Activator Spray.<br /><br />The Low-poo not bad, GVP & AOMM herbal smelling but I can hang with it... but I'm sorry.... the curl activator is rancid smelling. I've forced myself to try it and I keep hoping maybe it'll smell better too me, but nope I'm sorry it doesn't. I hate wasting my money but this stuff.... just has to find the bottom of a trash can. Sorry AO.<br /><br />My Favorite is on your worst list Alex! CJ's Curl Rehab Gardenia/Coconut. I LOVE it, but Gardenia is my favorite floral scent. One of my least fav smells also came on your best smells list which is CJ's Hibiscus and Banana. I'm just not big on things smelling like a banana that aren't the actual fruit, but I still use it!A https://www.blogger.com/profile/13246959342338240255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810442644035993092.post-60366750621192225652010-02-28T19:53:20.150-08:002010-02-28T19:53:20.150-08:00i find i don't mind a lot of scents that turn ...i find i don't mind a lot of scents that turn other people off...for example aohr. i actually like the smell and am sad my hair doesn't tolerate the oils in it for that reason. :) i tend to prefer scents that are floral or citrus. if it smells like food, especially fruit, it makes me want to gag. coconut and spices would be exceptions. <br /><br />not sure i really have a favorite scented product, to be honest. but i hear you on giving things up no matter how awesome if the smell is wrong.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285405662294874917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810442644035993092.post-13911281925684153542010-02-28T13:08:19.204-08:002010-02-28T13:08:19.204-08:00Worst smelling for me would have to be AOHR. It...Worst smelling for me would have to be AOHR. It's not a bad smell...just not my favorite. Reminds me of sunscreen. I hate how AO seals their conditioner bottles so that you can't smell it before purchasing because if I had known that it was so cloying, I probably wouldn't have bought it.<br /><br />Also, the smell lingers A LOT. I used the AOHR on my hair 3 days ago and I can still smell it! And that's after 3 showers using different conditioners and a strongly scented leave-in on top.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091445286262739289noreply@blogger.com
