Hi, Lzab! I can't think of a core oil I have used that I would describe as lightly scented, but I think Summer Honey Peach (the current seasonal) is very lightly scented. However, there is no oil/remoist duo in this scent--only the oil. All of the Remoists I have tried (lavender, tea tree, sweet almond mint) are not too heavily scented to my nose.

I find many of the scents too strong. What I tried with the cleanser (don't know if it would work with the oils or not), was to open the bottle and let some air in for a time--days, weeks, depending on how it affects you--before I used it. It diffuses the scent and makes it tolerable for me.

I am sorry but I do not think there is one of the oils that has a very light scent if you are "allergic" to scents. Perhaps the summer honey peach one is light but it all depends on what you are allergic to, scent-wise.

I think all the oils are stronger in scent too (at least compared to the cc and sc). I'd suggest maybe not doing an overnight treatment instead just leaving the oil on for a few hours or trying less at first and seeing what you can tolerate. Good luck! The oils are awesome Smiley Happy

Summer Honey Peach is the lightest one I have used in the past four and a half years. Unfortunately when I use any of the core scents for a scalp treatment overnight I have trouble sleeping because I do feel the scent is very strong. Summer Honey Peach seems like a lighter scent and I sleep great with it on! Not sure if that helps at all, but good luck!

I think the summer honey peach oil is very light compared to the other oils. The Pom oil is pretty light also.

Scent perception is SO very different person to person. It can trigger migraines for me in a nano-second, FAS being a perfect example.

To me FIG has less scent than any I've tried. I just get a vague, fruit smell, not anything I'd wear as a perfume, but not objectionable at all, and it dissipates quickly.

Just my opinion, I know some others hate FIG.

I agree with the others, I wouldn't classify any of the oils as being lightly scented. If I had to chose one in the oil/Remoist duo, I would pick Lavender. Once I apply the Lavender a Remoist to my hair, I don't really notice the scent. And the oil is Lavender/Mint, I feel that it is milder compared to the other oils, but it is by no means subtle.

To me the CA is the lightest, but I haven't tried SAM or Fig oils yet.
