I used the PJP this morning for both cleanses - it did leave my hair soft and silky (after blow drying). However, I'm finding the fragrance a bit too strong for me and it is lingering. It has a scent I just can't put my finger on - I liken it to walking into a room full of all difference flowers and smelling everything at once!

 

I will use it for both cleanses one more time and let hair air dry and see the performance.

 

After that, I will probably mix with another CC to tone it down. I know others are loving the smell - just too strong for me.

I haven't used mine yet, but just from opening the bottle I smell roses! Lovely scent. I put some on my hands like lotion and when I washed them about an hour later (with regular hand soap), I could still smell the roses!

@vermint - yes, I did that as well - I think part of the problem is the lingering smell that is just getting to me - LOL - I'm not having a problem with the other seasonals, just this one - maybe its the floral that is just too strong for me.

The power of smell will subside some, after bottle is already opened for awhile, @riley1. Or you can leave if opened for a few hours to "speed-up" a process! This happened to my SHL. I like it a bit lighter, as it has become now.

@sonechko - Thanks for the tip! I never thought to do that - will leave the cap off for a few hours and see how it goes. It really is a nice CC and performs well.

@riley1 I remember thinking the SHL smelled s bit strong for me but hubby loved it and kept using it. After awhile, I began to really love the scent and felt it wasn't as strong as my first initial sniffs were, lol. Now it it one of my favorite scents. No there is the outliers that never fade like the infamous FAS, lol, but for the most part, @sonechko is right and the scent will become a bit milder after using it several times.

The first whiff yesterday was a bit strong for me.  But, having just cleansed with it, the scent is drying down very nicely, and I like it.  More Jasmine-like to me.

 

Haven't "styled", my version is style is a joke, but then will see what my hair thinks.

I like that the scent is stronger. I like when the scent lingers in my hair. I smell fresh floral for sure. I smell roses, jasmine, and a scent that smells like plumeria to me. It is a very pretty scent. It smells like spring. I can't wait to see how it performs tomorrow. I am tempted to use it on my 6 year old son's hair tonight, but I don't think he would want to smell "like a girl" lol. I guess I will be patient and wait until morning.

I hope the scent doesn't linger too much in my hair. It smelled pretty light but I haven't actually tried it yet so hopefully it's not a super strong scent.

I'm with you!  I love any Wen scent that lingers.  Hey, you know what really is nice?  I use the 613 styling creme and then the coconut lime mousse and what a lovely scent that is there after drying!  It's great, not over powering, just enough that I can detect it there when I move around!  YAY!  I got my peony but I want to just look at it for a while.  My husband thinks I'm nuts!  LOL!  I went and got another before it goes away.  I'm Wen Men crazy too!  That scent is really silk, the scent really sends ya!  LOL!
