Yes, the smell is like a summer day on a lake in Scandinavia - in the wilderness. This reminds me of the smell of the spicy and gutriechenden Gagelstrauch which occurs rarely here with us - shampoo smells a little strict, but I find it enjoyable, better than sweet perfumes. The effect is stunning: a so easily, free and well-feeling scalp! And the hair is easy to comb - Tip: Allow to dry before combing, not wet comb !! Not more than now and then his fingers through during drying. I have soooo many expensive, cheap, normal, exotic shampoos, with care, for deep cleaning, with many ingredients, with few ingredients, creamy, clear etc.pp. tried over the years - this is wonderful! Quite amazing product because it is very little need, and can meter a small amount (unlike the bottles of several other manufacturers), it is also priced perfectly in the frame. At least try it should at any time. A treat. Oh - whether it prophylactically against lice acts - no idea, because I would be in principle skeptical.
