| The smell of Minksheen! I started using Minksheen (after seeing the rave reviews about it here at YT) and everytime I bath Autumn I think it has a smell to it that reminds me of something and I could not figure it out. It was driving me crazy. I kept asking my hubby to smell it but he just thought I was out of my mind. Well today while giving Autumn a bath it came to me. I think it smells like Avon Skin So Soft. Does anyone else or am I really out of my mind! (by the way when I was younger I could not use that stuff because I hated the way it smelled!) |

| The smell is the whole reason why we do not use MinkSheen...stinks, like bug spray!! We like ESPREE Color Enhancing Shampoo and it brings out the shine and color, like MinkSheen but smells wonderful. Tammy |

| I thought it smelled like some sort of pestiside wet but when it dried it smelled so very soft and reminded me of "Arimis" the mens colonge. I did'nt smell skin so soft at all. Ummmmmmm Loved the results though! |

| It's weird, it's like people either love it or hate it. From reviews, I thought I would like the smell. I received the sample and gave Chewy a bath, and while I was bathing him, my husband walked up and said "What's that funky smell?" I finished his bath, and I liked the results, thought he looked really soft and shiny. Later my husband picked him up and said "I just don't know if I can handle this smell!" It did fade the next day, but because we're both not crazy about the smell, I won't purchase the full size bottle.

| It must react diff with each dog. I LOVE the smell when it's dry. I wouldn't trade the results on Bobbi's coat for anything that smelled better

| I love the the smell of mink sheen and to me it doesn't smell like bug spray, but a very nice smelling mans cologne. Almost like Polo. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | For me the scent was different, not unpleasant though, it did remind me of the Skin So Soft scent too. I wasn't crazy about Ruby's hair texture after using it and have other products, I much prefer as far as scent and results. It is funny though - the differing opinions on Minksheen.
