pretty nice [SEP] it is a little hard to scoop but not the worst i have encountered the hold is fine it does not leave your hair crunchy like some other products i cannot stand that as for the scent as the other guy said it might remind you of gingerbread cookies if you are thinking about it then that is what you are going to smell but it does smell like coffee as the description says the sum of the scents makes it so you could interpret it either way
