Question

How dominant is the vanilla scent in this body butter?

I am not a big Vanilla fan. Unless it's enveloped w/ another scent. Thank you!

answer 1

The vanilla scent is very light and is not overpowering. It has a sweet fragrance to it and delivers lots of moisture to the skin.

answer 2

I actually can not smell the vanilla in this at all, it is a very apricot fruity scent. I don't think you'd have anything to worry about, the vanilla is so muted that the apricot is all I smell. But if you absolutly hated vanilla I'd stick with the citrus one just in case.

I have tried the vanilla and the sweet citrus. The vanilla was a little too overwhelming, a little too cutesy.
The sweet citrus is calming and subtle, a very good choice

the vanilla is very subdued, the apricot note is dominant and the combination overall is clean, soft , fresh and not at all overpowering. I think it's a subtle backdrop for layering on your fragrance.

I feel the same way about vanilla-scented products...not a big fan. However, it's the apricot that is the more dominant scent in this body butter. And since I'm a big "fruity" scent kind of person, I love the smell! Not too heavy, not too wimpy...just right!

The dominant scent is the apricot. It is nothing like the typical vanilla lotion. Think fresh peaches! Lovely.

You're not gonna smell like a Jello Pudding Pop - thanks to the sweet apritcot notes - but it's definitely a confectionary scent. If you're interested, though, men love it!

It sort-of reminds me of apricots and cream...with nuts on top. I think the nutty scent comes from the actual argan oil.

You really cannot smell much vanilla at all. Which disappointed me because I was excited about the combo scent. It smells good tho. Fruity.

i believe it does not come with a seal....mine arrived without one as well. funny, i wondered the same thing when i received it, but since it came in a plastic envelope, the lid was on tight...and the product didn't seem short, or contaminated...i didn't worry about it too much.

When I have ordered these argan oil body butters from Josie Maran's own website fall 2010 and this past spring, they did have seals. However, I just ordered three from Sephora within the past week and they did not have seals. So, I guess either Sephora in general does not have seals on these body butters or Josie Maran's company is no longer sealing them. I hope this helped.

While I love the balm this is easier to apply because of the whipped consistency. As I am extremely scent sensitive I find the citrus scent light and appealing.

This product is far more hydrating than the balm. The balm has a waxier kind of texture and absorbs much quicker. The balm is much better for the lips, though.

I tried the citrus and if you've tried the Fresh Sugar body butter or spray, it reminds me a little of that. Very mild fragrance and very pleasant. It doesn't really stay with you, which is fine with me.

Question

Metallic smell?

I just received this lovely lotion today. It is everything that all the other reviewers have said - so airy and soft, absolutely dreamy on the skin BUT to me it has a very odd almost metallic smell after it is applied to skin. I normally am not an ultra sensitive smeller so this is really baffling me. Anyone have the same reaction or maybe its gone rancid? Would love to continue using it but don't know if I can stomache the smell. I bought the Apricot Vanilla.

I got the small version of the vanilla apricot body butter (in the Moroccan Bazaar best seller collection) and really cannot stand the smell.
It reminds of blue cheese. Perhaps there is a bad batch of the body butter going around??
