I gave it a sniff test before buying. I liked the smell, which was surprising since I'm very picky when it comes to hygiene products(deodorant, cologne, etc). Earlier today I used it to make a lather to soften my face fur and to do a quick touch up. My girlfriend said it smelled citrusy, which I didn't pick up on. I think it smells more earthy. Either way, I like it. *shrugs*
