maybe its like perfume, ya do know, it all smells different on different people. Everyone has a different body smell and i'm sure dogs do to. I didnt care for the smell either. truthfully, since i have the espree now thats what i'm gonna be using now. I love it and today i gave maggie a bath in the shampoo and conditioner in one, it reminds me of plumeria from body and bath. I use that myself a lot.

Welp, I ordered a sample too. I'll post a review once I get it. I'll use it on Meiah since she's the only one I have with long hair right now. I'm real curious if I'll like the smell too!

Email the company and they will send you a sample--I like it and the smell does not bother me.

I will give it another shot. I do love the way that it made her coat feel. But I can get the same result from the biogroom with a much more pleasant smell. I think it has maybe one more application left in the bottle so I will try it again.

I'm wanting to smell this stuff now! LOL!
Seems like it has a different effect on alot of people.

I use a product these days by Isle of Dogs that to me, has a "bug spray" smell at first, but once it sinks in the coat good, it really smells good!
It also does it's job which is most important. Aside from the different views on the minksheen smell, do many of you find it actually does a good job?
Thanks.

I think it smells like avon's skin so soft too!! And I love that smell!! I posted that on the original review of it but noe one else seemed to think so....

Bama Yorkie Mom · 05-29-2007, 07:12 PM

I had a sample and the first few times I used it I wasnt crazy about the smell but it didnt seem that bad but seemed to loom in the air on her afterwards and the more I smelled it the more I didnt like it. This bottle was the most shipped around bottle I bet on here. a yt member ordered it, so it was shipped to her, then she sold and shipped it to me now i've sold and shipped it to a different yt member and she said she loves it so she took it off my hands. I love the espree tho. LOL

I really wanna try espree. Where can I order it from?

I got my sample in the mail yesterday, and I just requested it on 5/24/07 - that was super fast!

I noticed the bottle says that it's good for repelling fleas and ticks because of the eucalyptus. Do you guys that use Minksheen ALSO use a flea and tick repellant, or do you think weekly baths in Minksheen is enough to do the trick?

I LOVE Plumeria from Bath and Body, (hence my YT username) so I might have to try the Espree. I really like the Minksheen though...

i loved the way minksheen left maggie feeling and looking but this espree I got in the milk and honey smells better and it does make her hair shiny and soft also.
my camera has been sent in to have the soft ware cked on it but when I get it back i'll make some pictures of her after using the espree and send them.

So does is really repel the fleas? I just sent for my sample. I have never had a problem with flea until the last grooming appt. Peanut came home itching like crazy. He gets a bath weekly with buddy wash and lavender, but I keep finding a flea here and there. I don't want to use chemicals on him, I hope minksheen works.

Gracie2006 · 06-14-2007, 05:12 PM

I kind of like it. It reminds me of after shave. Envision a hunk, one of the Chippendale dancers, while bathing your baby and you might grow to like it.
