It smells of coconuts I love the smell!
I often bought a certain brand of coconut oil from the health food store, but one time I went there to buy it and when I got back to my apartment (right next door to the health food store!) the coconut oil was yellow and smelled rancid. The container was black so I couldn't tell before I opened it. I brought it back to the cashier and he told me I could trade it in and get another one which I opened in front of him and that one was also rancid. He said he had no idea what coconut oil was like and he didn't know if he could trust my judgement or not...as it turns out I just ended up getting a different brand with a clear jar and I showed him the difference. Ever since that day, the health food store only stocks the brand that had the rancid containers with clear jars so that they don't have that problem again. I guess they lost a lot of money with rancid coconut oil!

I buy my refined coconut oil from the baking aisle at WalMart, it has no odor.
I don't like the vatika smell. It smells like "grandpa's old shaving tonic" or something. I don't like it in my hair but it is really good besides the smell.

I use Tropical Traditions which is supposed to be virgin high quality. And it smells very much like coconut to me!

Well meera and parachute are the ones that have always been used for hair for centuries now. So, if you can get your hands on them you need not look further

You should check to see if they're all just pure coconut oil. They may have fragrance added to them. I've bought both unrefined and refined. I like using it for baking as well (like making quick chocolate truffles and stuff like that) and I really like coconut so I bought some unrefined to use for that however I also have refined for when I don't want a coconut flavour. The refined smelled like nothing to me but unrefined smelled deliciously coconutty. :P
This has never happened before: I just opened a new jar with coconut oil that i have had around the house for about one month. It has not been stored warm or been opened by me before. As soon as I opened it i felt a faint, but distinctive smell of mold! I could se nothing visually. I scraped off about two inches from the top layer and it was still somewhat smelly. This bothered me abit so I even took it under the microscope to check it out. I couldn't find anything suspicious. Am I imagining things? I don't think I have had this before, this particular brand always smelled faintly like coconut (deliciously!). I think I will throw this one away and buy a new one. It is too late to take it back to the store though. Weird.

I use refined expeller pressed organic coconut oil by Spectrum. It doesn't smell like anything and it works really good I use it on my hair while my mom also uses it for cooking, lol. I wish it did smell like coconuts though
