I haven't smelled something that is ginger awapuhi only, but I think this line smells great! You could go smell it in a beauty store or salon before you purchase it.

It smells great and works well as a light conditioner or on top of regular conditioner.

It's the original. Not sure if it smells like bananas. I'm happy with it. Vegan, organic, no paraben and moisturizes well.

I've not noticed a huge difference. This is totally my favorite scent, but tends to smell differently on each person. I honestly don't think new packaging makes a difference.

The shampoo does smell good, but I agree with another response of the weighted-down feeling to the hair (along with use of accompanying conditioner). I guess I didn't need the keratin. I put it in my guest bathroom waiting to see if my sister would like to have it.

The scent is sweet, but not strong. Not flowery. It doesn't smell like almonds nor coconut to me, it's just a light, sweet fragrance. Not overpowering at all. It won't linger after your hair is dry.

It has no scent which is great to me! I can not handle strong smells when I am just wanting to put in my hair and leave in overnight. The next day after you wash it out- your hair feels so soft and strong with no spit ends!

It has a light power smell that fades quickly. Of dry shampoos, this one smells the best of the ones I have used. Your hair won't smell like this product long either.

It smells like licorice. Ive been doing it once in the morning and once at night. TO me I saw the difference within 3 days. At first it tasted not so good but I added some honey to it and its perfect.

Hello. It is totally ssfe to do at home and best of all does not stink. Make sure you are in a ventilated area. I do in my bedroom - bathroom, open windows and AC on as it is warm here. I put a fan on to ventilate the room well. I will not trade this Keratin for any other.

It's hard to describe. It doesn't have much of a smell. It is not perfume-y and it's not girly. Thankfully, it's also not fruity. I hate those fruity smells that smell like overripe, moldy fruit. It does NOT smell like hairspray, which is mostly alcohol. There is "fragrance" in the ingredients, but it's not strong, not unpleasant, kind of neutral. I sprayed some on my arm to see if I could figure out what it smells like, and sniffed and sniffed, but it doesn't smell like anything else that I know (and I smell lots of product). Maybe saltwater air with a hint of lemon or something else a bit citrus-like, and perhaps a slight bit of anise (licorice), but I can't say for certain because it is so slight. Cancel the slight bit of licorice because I don't detect that anymore after it has sat on my arm for 10-15 minutes. It probably tries to smell "beachy" because it's supposed to give your hair that look like you've dipped into the ocean and air dried your hair in the sun, so it's not a strong fragrance. It doesn't invade your nose. Maybe someone else will have a better answer.

It smells like coconut. I love coconuts grew up loving the taste. I tried other brands till I finally found this one I love and its great on everything even bread.

Although I cannot say with complete certainty I can say after having my hair straightened with f450 products 2x that it doesn't have the horrible smell like keratin does which is caused by famaldehyde. It is a completely heat based product. I use this in addition to the shampoo and conditioner. The treatment itself sells on amazon and eBay for under $100 but very time consuming. Have to wash hair, blow, put in treatment, straighten and then wash it out and blow and straighten again. Over 2 hrs but I have very thick Brillo course hair and this stuff lasted me over 5 months. I advise using the whole product not just the hot iron part.

No, the scent is natural, but different. IMO it smells like a just opened carton of corn meal.

Yes, it has a very pleasant scent to it. I actually liked the scent more than the actual product. Not that the product is not good; I just don't think it was for my type of textured hair.
