Pretty nice [SEP] It's a little hard to scoop but not the worst I've encountered. The hold is fine. It doesn't leave your hair crunchy like some other products (I can't stand that).<br /><br />As for the scent. As the other guy said, it might remind you of gingerbread cookies. If you're thinking about it, then that's what you're 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.
