From my online research the fishy smell is normal for pure rosehip seed oil, mine is the same in odor. I store it in the fridge and that seems to neutralize the odor somewhat

I can only smell the nutty scent, but my children tell me I smell like sushi when they kiss me (I use it on my face).... so, I think it's normal.

I never had any problems with a smell, but maybe one of the pills cracked and oil leaked out. That could be causing the smell. I would just pour them all out and check.

I think it has a bit of a musky smell but it is only at first and it isn't super unpleasant imo. I put Young Living Gentle a Baby blend in mine sometimes to help with wrinkles and I can't smell the rosehip seed oil at all after that.

I personally love the smell of PastTense. Have had mine for a long time and never noticed it getting an "off" smell. Not sure if oils can go bad either. I'd suggest emailing or calling DoTERRA directly and asking them to be sure. I've always gotten quality products from them.

I popped one open to see and it seemed rancid, extremely fishy smelling. I have high quality cod liver oil that doesn't taste or smell bad at all.

According to the label and literature when I last checked a few months ago, this oil comes from cold water ocean fish, not farmed......This is a reputable brand as well....and the price is reasonable.....drink it down with some warm water is one good way............

Hi Janice -- mine had a light odor, but that's been normal to other argan oil I've purchased. It should be mild, though, not overwhelming.

No, mine came fine and new (sealed). You should send it back for exchange or refund. don't wait! I like this oil, the taste is not as strong as say extra virgin coconut oil.

The oil does have a strong smell. It's a mix of mustard oil and brewed black tea. At least that is what it smells like to me. It definitely is not a pleasant smell but it's not lingering either. I have been using the oil regularly on my face and I see a noticeable positive change in my skin so I'm overlooking the unpleasant smell. If it makes you gag then you might need to look into an alternative oil, I use argan oil as well brought it from Morrocco and it is also great for my skin.

All i can imagine is that you have a sensitivity to the oil as it is quite potent as an essential oil. Ive not had any such problem. Sorry this is not much help �

It should have a very mild "nutty" fragrance...& I do mean MILD. It should not smell rancid. Hope this helps:)

the one we ordered had no such smell. yikes! i'd say get in touch with the vendor. that just sounds wrong. otherwise i would suggest google searching how to remove oil. may b as simple as soap n water. but i dont know. sorry.

The smell isn't great, but is very light (ie, doesn't stink once rubbed in or when combined with other oils/butters). I've gotten used to the nutty scent over time. As for organic, no, it isn't. It states "100% Natural" which we all know doesn't mean squat! lol.... FWIW, not sure what chems/fertilizers/etc are used in Ghana on its shea, but somehow I trust it more than the US FDA. ;-&gt;

Hi,I'm not familar with the blue box oil. But, I can say that this oil has a slightly nutty fragrance - like hazelnuts. You can't smell it unless you put it right up to your nose. Hope that helps... CM

I notice a light scent. Almost a nutty scent. However, it's not near enough for me to notice once I've used it to moisturize my face (just a drop is plenty) and scrunch in the ends of my hair to control frizzies. The last bottle I ordered had a strong scent, though. Reminded me of toasted sesame oil. I'm getting ready to order again, hoping that the next bottle will be back to normal. I have an extremely strong sense of smell, though. I notice scents and smells that other people don't.

It does have a weird smell to it. It's like any oil, if left out for a long time, it becomes rancid. Check the date it was bottled and if it's within a month, then it's still good. But I would probably keep in fridge if you don't use it quickly.
