decent smells like play doh [SEP] i have mixed hair as i am aging i am getting some super wiry kinked hairs i picked this up because someone recommended it to mei also have thick hair so i have to use more than what the instructions say but the whole bottle still has lasted over a month it is not as effective as my usual leave in garnier fructis this conditioner has a very strong perfume y odor what you are going to mainly smell is the vanilla with wheat y undertones guess what play dohs scent is based off of no seriously look it up it does not bother me too much though anyone sensitive to smells or who does not like vanilla will be put off
