very strong lemongrass scent [SEP] the lemongrass has a very strong smell i like lemongrass but it is like being punched in the nose with a stalk of lemongrass every time i raise my arms people standing next to me can smell it the consistency is a little harder than secret but still goes on smoothly i am a housewife and i do not sweat all that often so the odor control works well enough for me it is not as good as secret but acceptable considering the trade offs
