When I first used this shampoo along with the matching conditioner, I was surprised at the smell. It's a somewhat earthy smell -- not too overpowering, but it's there. It stays with you most of the day and comes out more if you sweat. At first I worried that others might not like the smell. My girlfriend at the time hated it, but other girls think it smells great. So you may want to try a smaller quantity if you can get your hands on a sample before you buy too much. Smell doesn't bother me at all any longer.

This shampoo is great, Best men's shampoo on the market!my husband use it daily and him have no complaints regarding its effectiveness or fragrance.
