Does it smell very strong? I used Biofreeze and Paloxin. Does it smell stronger than these too? Thanks!

Sombra has a menthol smell, but it doesn't last too long. I like the smell of Sombra.

I believe you are asking about Sombra. If so, the smell is moderately strong at first but lessens to a citrus like smell after a while, then disappears. It is not as strong as Icy Hot, Bengay, or those types of arthritis creams

Nena, I actually like the smell of sombra. It has a very pleasant citrus smell. My friends that use somba also like the smell. The good thing is that it doesn't have a medicinal smell. More of a natural smell. Not as strong of a smell as Biofreeze

Only when applied do you notice the smell, it isn't very strong as far as scent goes, however as it dries the smell fades.

When you put it on, there's a strong smell but put Bengay at 10 I would say this is more of a five and it does dissipate much quicker. Gosh, how long to dissipate, I'm not sure, but less than an hour? To be honest, once dry, I don't notice it, so however long it takes to dry once you put it on. I don't use Biofreeze or Paloxin so I can't compare those two.

I am currently sitting here with my brand new ice pack wrapped around my knee and about 12" from my nose (knee is elevated to heart height in front of me). There is a very slight smell but given how I can wrap it on the diagonal around my knee to the area that's swollen the worst, that tiny bit is something I can definitely live with. It is -nowhere near- how much a pain-relieving salve would smell (such as arnica or bengay) and it's completely gone while the ice pack is freshly cold. If you noticed it much you could probably use it as an indicator of when to freeze it again! :D

This a very stinky menthol that relaxes muscles but this product is stinky. I like bioFreeze better, the smell goes away in a few min

It is really strong smelling. It is being sprayed in a small contained area which compounds the problem. If using it again I would use goggles and a mask when spraying it. It worked really well and is standing up under heavy use.

Hi I am not sure by the term REAL Biofreeze but I can say unequivocally that the Bio Freeze I purchased here was pretty good and pretty strong. I bet your doc is trying to make a few bucks becausethis stuff is very strong.. go for it Costs less too!

I did have a funny odor...something like oil or plastic when I first got this fan. The smell is gone now...took about a week of use to subside. The longer you leave it on the faster it will dissipate. I only used it at night, and then only on occasion because it is still so cold in NY.....Keep running it and it will go away soon!!!

I don't find the smell really strong. And I find the best way to use this is to put some on a cotton swab and then put that up your nostril. That way you don't get too much and you don't waste any. I hope this helps.

To me, not a lot. the 4% will have a stronger smell but unsure how long the smell will last. This is gone in about five minutes. My wife uses in her office 3-5 times a day and after a few minutes people come in and never know she has used it.For pain? I really do not know. It should help some. If I could get Biofreeze w/ 4% I would but any other product, I do not know.

The "original" has a much longer lasting scent and will stain (although not permanently) any clothing that comes into contact with affected area of body. This version of biofreeze does not stain and minimal scent for minimal period of time.

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!

The smell did not bother me, but I suppose each of us have a different sensitivity. It's a citris smell (orange mostly) which could probably be called strong by some people, but again, I was fine with it. It disipates quickly so I don't think it would it stay long in your car.

For me Phytocyane smells lightly medicinal. I don't feel that the product has an unpleasant smell. Tonda

i am not sure, we have only used it to remove gump, and i don't believe the smell is all that horrible, just a little strong to begin with.

Sorry-last answer was wrong product. Love the ice packs-very little odor-maybe smells like cedar. We store them in the freezer and ice our sore muscles every day. We are up tp 3 of them!

Mine did not smell very strong. I put it out over the weekend. I put mine on the mattress and then put a mattress pad over the foam pad. It still feels soft and no oder.

I have no fishy taste when I use it, which is good since I hate fish. I freeze mine so I have no smell but some people say that can break down the gel capsule. I have had no problems with it breaking down and feel it's fresher than keeping in a warmer room. Hope that helps,

No, the smell is the organic Argan oil. It has nothing else in it so it has a very natural smell but is not strong at all and after it is on your body you can't smell it. Some other Argan oils may contain other ingredients to make them smell better. Love this oil, highly reccomend!
