Vatika Coconut Oil

[queendiva79]

My Vatika cocnut oil does not smell good and i absolutely hate the smell! Do any of you ladies mix the oil with any other oils to control the smell? It kinda smells like bacon or something so i do not use it but i would like to use it if i could change the smell! any suggestions ladies?

 

[LocksOfLuV]

I like the way vatika oil smells! But maybe it is just me.

 

[Nita81]

Mine smells like soap. Not strong at all.....I don't mind the smell. Maybe you can use peppermint oil

The one that I had also smelled like bacon.When I read the advice from the ladies on this site about reading expiration dates I realized that mine was very old.Maybe you should check the date on the bottle to see if it has expired. I didn't even realize that it was supposed to smell ok until I read the old posts.

I am using this one Organic Oil: Virgin Coconut Cream
I ordered it from fromnaturewithlove.com

I have also read good reviews on the Spectrum brand of coconut oil

Vatika smells like lemons to me at first. Then I get a weird scent afterwards that takes some getting used to. It doesn't smell bacony to me. It's more of an herbal scent that's a little funky, and then it wears off hours later. I just started using it every other night or so for about two weeks.

OMG, I love this oil and the smell does not bother me at all. I really love the Alma Oil and ppl say it smells bad but I likey

I like the way my Vatika oil smells, it smells like coconut, lemon and spices, and the spicey lemony smell tends to fade after a few hours. Perhaps you should check to see if yours is old...erplexed

Mine does too! ( smell like soap)

I've never known the Vatika Coconut Oil to smell bad. It smells a bit lemony and maybe even coconut "shampooish". I know people complain about the smell of the amla oil, though. Anyway, maybe you got a bad bottle? I don't know.

I currently get my coconut oil from the health food store, right next to the other oils.

I noticed that some of the Indian stores keep their products for a long time, always look at the expiration date even with the henna I saw several expired ones, I think the older it gets the smell will change.

 

[UmSumayyah]

The thing about indian hair products is, they are NOT labeled with the expiration date, but with the date the product was made. So you add 2 years to the date on the bottle to see when it expires.

I love the way the Amla Lite smells, but how does the regular Amla oil smell?

Alma Oil has a lite sewagey smell mixed with some type of fragrance. It is bad but not that bad.

I LOVE the way my vatika oil smells. I love love love vatika oil

I henna conditioned last night and I put some vatika oil in this morning, my hair feels so healthy

Where are y'all getting the good smelling vatika from because all of the indian grocers that I have gone to in my area have the one that smells like bacon grease and the expiration dates have 03 stamped on them I would love to order a pleasant smelling vatika because the ingredients are soo good

I have the spectrum oil too....and I have eaten it , well I've tasted. I've always wanted to try the vatika oil though. I see it every time I go to the Indian store but then I think about all the products I already have and I just leave it.

 

[Radianthealth]

I bought mine from eastwestbazaar.com:

http://www.eastwestbazaar.com/product_info.php?products_id=857

Mine doesn't smell like bacon grease; it smells like Indian spices (kinda like curry) with a hint of lemon. I don't like the smell, but I learned to tolerate it because the benefits of the oil are good. I like things that are more sweet-smelling. The Amla Lite oil smells absolutely wonderful and my strands always feel firmer after using it.

mine has a lemon smell too but i havent used it yet does the smell change once it is in your hair???

 

[imstush]

I have the Vatika oil, and it smells like coconut. I love the smell, smells good enough that it almost makes me want to taste it.

 

[victorious]

Yep, it smells great when I sniff it from the bottle.

But that lemon scent wears off as soon as it's in my hair, and that other funny scent emerges and stays for hours. I like the lemon scent, but not the other one that follows. It's not a strong, overpowering scent. I'm just a little sensitive to it. I prefer to put it on at night so the funny scent can disappear by morning.

Navsegda is right. It smells like a bunch of Indian spices in the grocery store. I'm slowly getting used to it. I like the scent of the amla lite oil too.

Can someone tell me what color their Vatika coconut oil is? Mine is a light greenish color. Is it suppose to be this color?

 

[sweetlaughter]

Mine is white when solid and the color of vegetable oils when liquified. The bottle is blue and green. Sure you didn't get the Vatika enriched Olive Oil?
