Okay. First day of using this, and I was nervous about the reviews about the smell. It's a little strong, but it is by no means a *bad* smell. It did not overshadow my conditioner/shampoo scent, so I see no problems. This works like a GEM. The frizziness is much more tamed, the split ends are less tangled, and I am in love. It's a bit sticky, though. I got this on sale, and you can be expecting me to get this again.
