The odor is AGONY!!! Updated 03/16/2019 [SEP] UPDATE AS OF 03/16/2019  All the previous info still applies.  Now that I am 16 days out from using this product, I want to add that my feet are STILL peeling.  I have been using this type (not this particular) product for a couple of years and the entire process is always completed at least by day 12.  Thus, besides the horrible odor, this product is not particularly efficient at exfoliating.  So, basically there is NOTHING about it that I can recommend.<br /><br />No matter how good these are at exfoliating, I cannot recommend them due to the offensive/clingy/cloying/LONGLASTING odor.  I have used products like this before and there is always some odor during use...but these, well, days later after soaking my feet in baking soda water and then vinegar water, the incredibly floral+chemical odor still wafts around my head--yes, all the way from my feet!  It is sickening, offensive,, and embarrassing when I am around other people.  Also, the socks I put on after using this product have been washed in hot water and laundry detergent and they are just going to have to be thrown away because the odor DOES NOT come out.  I threw away second set of these bootees because I cannot subject myself to the odor again no matter how badly I want my feet to be soft without rough skin.  DO NOT BUY if you are sensitive to odors and/or simply do not like strong odors wafting around you for days on end.
