This is a great product, and I've been buying it for at least a year now for me and my partner. It has a light minty smell. The product might not lather as much as other products because it does not contain sodium laurel sulfate, which is a very abrasive product. It cleans better than other products and does a great job even using just a small amount of the product. I'd definitely recommend this product (and other Baxter products). I've noticed that I have less hair breakage.
