A lot of people here seem to really like the smell of this cleaner, and you can't argue with such a subjective assessment. I personally think it smells absolutely vile. This cleaner does not smell like almonds, it smells like very strong baby oil, so strong that the whole house smells like it for hours. To me this is nauseating. I hate to throw it away; maybe I will use it only before going out of the house somewhere. YMMV of course. Works fine to clean wood, but leaves the surface sticky for a while.
