I love Minksheen and I actually like the smell.
I don't like the more fruity light smells that don't last on him longer than like 10 minutes out of the bath... Minksheen lasts and I love that!! He can go for 3-4 days and I still smell it on him. Some shampoos I've tried smell amazing out of the bottle and when you are scrubbing it on the dog but then afterwards I can't even smell it. Like I have Tropiclean right now and sure it makes him pretty shiny and soft... but by the next morning, I smell nothing. I've been using BioGroom Silk Creme after shampooing because it makes him really soft! But yes the Minksheen makes him really soft and shiny! Not sure if the flea repellent works... esp. with me using a different conditioner afterwards but oh well
