is this supposed to be fragrant? because mine has no vanilla smell at all -- and not much taste that I can tell. Did I get an old batch?

Blondie,Our vanilla should be fragrant. It is also fresh ground just before shipping to Amazon so the batch shouldn't be old. Please send us an email with your Amazon order ID to service@terrasoul.com and we can process a refund for you if you're not satisfied with your purchase.Best Regards,

Hi! Mine is certainly fragrant, although I wouldn't call it a strong fragrance. Also my batch tastes great, with a good strong vanilla taste - but I'm used to vanilla with no sugar added, so that may have something to do with it. I doubt you got an old batch, as this company seems pretty awesome. Perhaps there is a date code on the pouch. Myself, I love this vanilla and it has plenty of vanilla flavor and smell for me.

Mine has a nice fragrance to it. I am thinking I've only used it once, (haven't been doing alot of cooking lately,) but I boiled I small amount of it with some apple peels to freshen the air in the kitchen and if I remember right it made it even stronger.

I just took mine off the mantle and put on the end table. Couldn't smell it until it was right next to me You can still smell a faint but nice vanilla. I've had mine for over a year.

Really mine didn't taste pickled at all. The beans smelled and tasted fabulous. They were very moist fresh I wouldn't say wet. Sorry to hear that. My beans made great vanilla extract

I opened them about 5 weeks ago. There was a faint smell of vanilla then. It is completely gone now.

It smells like vanilla. It's a soft scent. I wouldn't say girly. And unless your nose is against the hair you wot smell it strongly. It's pleasant :)

It doesn't show it on my packaging. Sorry. It smells good but of course, not as good as all vanilla does.

Mine has no smell whatsoever. Just received it last week. Maybe you should send it back!

Mine had no smell at all. This is the first time I've bought it, but I can't imagine it should smell like perfume! A quick google search doesn't turn up anything similar, either.

I can't really help you. The one I received smells the same as the one I smelled at the mall. So maybe it's from a old batch that went bad.

My we're very vanilla smell. I think we get used to a added flavor smell and forget what real vanilla smells like especially not sweetened

I bought one recently to replace the 6 or so years old one I had. I also usually store this one on the floor.... It smells but not strong, just herbally. I'm sensitive to smells and it doesn't bother me. No where as strong as menthol, cinnamon, lavender, or vanilla (all scents I can think of right now).

Mine did not smell different. U may have gotten a bad one or something. Probably see about an exchange and gage from there.

I didn't have that scent with mine. I have read numerous other reviews that say the same thing about that same plastic odor and I was concerned that would be an issue but there is no distinct odor I had with mine!

It shouldn't smell like that ....the one I ordered smelled awesome! Amazon is great with returns and if an item isn't right....I would contact them :-) but this is a great cologne

I use have used these the last few years and have not had the same problem. I just opened the box I have at home and it has no odor. I don't have an answer of why yours is so pungent. (Bad batch?mildew?)
