Wen Fig Scent

HonnyBrown · ‎11-23-2013

I am on my second bottle of Wen Fig. It's my staple and HG, but I am not used to the scent. It's horrible! It gets worse with every use.

What is a good CC, even a seasonal, that I can mix with it? My goal would be to keep the ultra moisturizing properties and eliminate the stench.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

I use fig as my leave in and I don't describe it as a ""stench."" I don't find that any of the scents leave a fragrance or smell of any kind in my hair. The only one I can't speak to is the latest fall scent that came out. I have not tried the CC because I didn't care for the odor and I'm afraid it would be the one that stays with me through the day.

I can't get used to the scent either, although I wouldn't go so far as to say it is a "stench". It is not awful for me but the more I use it, the more I don't like it really. I just can really detect the menthol in it for some reason, which I don't like.

But I will use it because I like its' performance. I like to mix it with summer mango coconut. That combination works well for me and helps to cut the strong menthol scent down in fig. I wish it actually smelled more like real fig, which is more like a warm scent, then menthol.

Guess even all our noses are different. Fig is the only one I don't get a menthol smell. ${#emotions_dlg.blink}$

What about POM since it is a bit fruity? I can't say I've tried the combo tho. I can't take the smell of fig. I agree it's a bit ""stenchy"". LOL

Guess I am in the minority, because I really like it, and the oil is my favorite ! I mix it with SAM or 613 usually and the smell is softer? My other new fav mix is the FAS and WCM...call me crazy I guess since the ones some people dislike I really like. The SMC is my least favorite.

I used to dislike the Fig scent, even though it's always been one of my staple CC's, but for some reason it's smelling better to me lately. Maybe it's just growing on me, or maybe Chaz added an ingredient that affects the scent (just guessing there), but now I like it very much!

It has a stench to me and it lingers/diminishes after an hour.

That's the only thing I don't like about it. I love what it does for my hair.

Fig has really been my go to, I have figured out that if I use fig for my first cleanse I can use a seasonal for my second. I am loving the Fig and WCM combo this winter!!! I need a gallon of WCM!!!
