The smell of Minksheen! - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

P U

it smells like a bad citronella candle. I got my sample today, I'll try it out once because everyone likes the results, but no wonder it repells fleas! I use revolution for that, I'd rather the babies smell pretty.

OK, I gotta tell ya, it smells bad in the bottle, but I bathed 4 dogs today, and the smell doesn't linger and once they're dry they just smell a little like patchoulli. I was very skeptical, (especially smelling the bottle) but this is a wonderful product, it worked very well on 4 dogs with slightly different coats. They were not really shiny when done so I finished with the CC Ice on Ice and they look fabulous. Time will tell, but no one had dandruff or was weighted down, so it shows a lot of promise. I like that a creme rinse/detangler is not necessary, nice. My sample is gone, so I'll have to order to test this longer, but it seems to be a very good product.

Ok remember I definitely didn't like the smell the first time I used it on Lulu...the smell was strong. I just bathed her again with it to give it a try before I dumped out the remnants of the sample. Well I have to say yet again I love the shine and feel of her semi-cottony coat afterwards and the smell seems to have faded and is not making me sick. I think that the biggest problem the first time was I forgot to shake the bottle. This time I shook it like a milk shake. The smell is not bothering me.

The first time I used it on her I have to say that it literally made me feel sick to my stomach. I guess I will be buying a whole bottle for her.

While it's not the greatest and sweetest smell right now being summer with all the bugs and skeeters out I think it's worth using it and forgoing the nice smells.

My 9 y.o. daughter says it smells like pine cones. I agree and we both like the smell. We did not try it yet on our yorkie but did wash my daughter's long straight hair. OMG, the result is unbelievable! Her hair like in Pantene commercial without using any conditioner! I will order human version of the shampoo for her, or maybe we can use this one

(Mane&Tail is also for animals and many people use it with great success, even my friend and her daughter.)

I felt the same way e first time i used it, now i love it !

Dunno if I can say I love it but I am going to order the bottle and use it on her. Her coat does look great and pretty silky after using it. This time the smell was much milder.

Glad I reread the post. I planned on ordering the bottle of it and this just reminded me.

You just needed to let the hair dry fully. It doens't look all that good when it's in the damp stage but once it's fully dry you need glasses to look at them. Try it again and dont' tempt yourself to use the finishing stuff.

My girl have a cotton coat, and it look so dry and lifeless, I also don't like the smell either, she smell like a hippy-chick, or kind of new age fragance

I like better, petsilk smell sooo good and coat handler is good too, is our expererience and opinion
