The smell is so faint, but nice. This is better than lotion in some ways. I like the way that it goes on my skin without making it feel overly oily as lotion does. If you don't want to smell a strong scent, then this is the product for you. If you don't like that sleek and slippery feeling on your skin, then you will love this product. It is ideal for wearing sandals. It moisturizes my skin just enough so that I can put on my favorite sandals without an oily mess getting all over them. Just be sure to rub the balm into your skin thoroughly and you're ready to go. Oh, if you don't like the smell of citrus or fruity scents, that's okay. I can assure you that you won't smell a thing unless you purposely try to smell the product.
