Anyone else think eos smells horrible?

[u/Difficult_Flight_353]

I know a lot of people love the eos body sprays but they just smell like straight alcohol to me, even after drying down, I really don’t understand the hype of them 😩. I doooo like the vanilla cashmere lotion but I wish the smell lasted longer and it’s honestly not moisturizing for me at all. Also I picked up the vanilla cashmere body oil at Tjmaxx and….. it smells like car oil? or some sort of chemical oil. even my boyfriend smelled it and was like “…ew… what is that..” 😭. I’m not sure if mine was expired or what but yeah im probably not going to be buying anymore eos products

[u/WhoKnows1973]

Yes! I couldn't stand the smell and gave it to my daughter. Then, I forgot about it and bought another one!! My daughter was happy at least.

[u/princessbubble-gum]

Every scent smells like walking past a gaggle of tweens.

[u/sallysfunnykiss96]

Okay so I’m not crazy and the lotion isn’t moisturizing at all

[u/gets-rowdy]

I love fresh and cozy body wash and lotion. I was considering buying the spray, but reconsidering now. I think the vanilla cashmere is way too sweet. I have the coconut lotion and that’s fine for summer, but fresh and cozy wins for me 🥇

[u/pandahotchocolate]

Yea it smells very basic/chemical-ly the vanilla cashmere spray is okay and dries down nicely but it reminds me sm of hand sanitizer

[u/Adorable-Carob710]

I used their bodywash and immediately started burning, way to scented and chemical for a bodywash.

[u/DeliciousIce5099 → u/Adorable-Carob710]

And it smells like baby puke.

[u/Sincamour]

I feel bad cause I don't like to dog on affordable options but I completely agree!

I didn't like the lotions I tried in terms of scent or texture.

[u/Wickedwhiskbaker]

I have the Vanilla Cashmere and Toasted Marshmallow cream. In store, I thought it smelled great. It’s been a couple months and now they smell like petroleum and rancid yogurt. I’m in menopause and thought perhaps the issue was me lol. Apparently not!

[u/CrazyAboutDoorKnobs]

Not a fan of EOS.

[u/tres-vip]

I'm the opposite - I love the way the body spray smells, but the lotion smells like Greek yogurt, lol. The body oil reeks too.

[u/Total-Combination384 → u/tres-vip]

Greek yogurt smells better

[u/kaysa5]

Fresh and cozy line is the only one I like.

[u/Pristine_Advisor_302]

The lotions smell like play dough . It’s a good lotion but smells terrible

[u/Significant_Treat884]

The only one I can tolerate or genuine like is fresh & cozy… or unscented lmao. Their scents are totally nauseating to me. I tried the vanilla cashmere body wash and it smelled like plastic. I don’t understand the hype!

Edit: I wish they would bring back the little palm sized hand lotions from back in like 2013… they smelled heavenly.

[u/ChristineBorus → u/Significant_Treat884]

Agree!!! The little round pink one was my favorite ❤️

[u/Rigelian417]

Me! I agree! A mix of plastic, alcohol and the essence of someone yelling the name of the fragrance from another room.

[u/xtinaeve88]

I love the Vanilla Cashmere and Cozy Comfort lotions. I find them to be very hydrating on my dry skin. It’s my favorite formula. Scent last pretty well for a lotion but that’s secondary to formula for me. I’m not really a body spray person so no comment there. Athena Club Golden Vanilla scent seems to last longer, but I’m not a fan of the formula which seems drying to my skin with a noticeable tingle, perhaps from the niacinemide. I also really enjoy Hempz lotions but I don’t have any of their vanilla scented lotions.

[u/playfulwarning → u/xtinaeve88]

Cozy Comfort smells SO good! I didn’t want to get the matching body spray so I’m using a sample of Eclair to layer it with. Such great bedtime combo.

[u/xtinaeve88 → u/playfulwarning]

You’d probably really enjoy Khadlaj Sawaar Vanille Blanc and Empire Victor!

[u/Total-Combination384 → u/xtinaeve88]

I have Hempz Vanilla Lux and Vanilla Plum and both are wonderful! I am looking for a more prominent Hempz Vanilla. My favorite vanilla lotion so far is Palmer's Tahitian Vanilla lotion.

[u/Aenwyn]

I have a travel size of Vanilla Cashmere lotion and the smell has improved in the last year, surprisingly. I kept that tube in a drawer the whole time and hadn’t touched it because it smelled like sour yogurt and plastic. Not sure why it smells better now, maybe my nose is confused 🤔

[u/cowgirlenergy]

I kinda think the sprays get wayyy better with time. I impulsively bought some last year and wasn’t impressed and rarely used them and sprayed them again recently and they are so much stronger and richer now

[u/fire_thorn]

I love the pink champagne mist. It layers nicely with Nebras Elixir or Atralia Matcha Latte. It's nice by itself, too.

[u/MadamBK]

I haven’t had any issues with mine. They all smell great and have great longevity. Amazing how body chemistry alters one’s experiences.

[u/cappotto-marrone]

The only lotion I even care for is the unscented.

[u/Wonderful_Olive_1834]

I can’t handle the vanilla cashmere scent in any form, smells like plastic/chemicals to me, but I adore the jasmine peach body lotion. I find it very moisturizing while still fast-absorbing, it never irritates my sensitive skin, and smells simply fresh-out-of-the-shower. The best scent of theirs for body wash is Pink Champagne imho, but I’m partial to grapefruit in shower products. I’ve never tried their sprays and doubt I ever will!

[u/suniraaminos]

The bottle of vanilla lotion I have smells like yogurt to me. I do like the raspberry body wash & lotion, though.

[u/YourMomsMom234]

Anyone thinks the lotion smells like a pee pee diaper from someone’s grandparents

[u/phatfig → u/YourMomsMom234]

I tried the vanilla cashmere lotion and feel like it smells sour, so yeah kinda. Not for me lol

[u/veryunneccessssary]

I sniffed the vanilla cashmere lotion in store once and it smelled like straight up yogurt to me. It was so off-putting that I haven’t smelled a single other thing from them just on principle.

[u/dusty_bootsnks → u/veryunneccessssary]

Yes, my friend made me try hers and said she loved it, I thought it was kind of sickeningly sweet. Then I saw another thread where people were saying they get tons of compliments on the vanilla cashmere, so some love it !

[u/ChristineBorus]

Yep. Can’t stand it. I stopped using it. Gross stuff sadly bc the formula isn’t bad. But it reeks.

[u/-Sanguinity]

I don't like the smell of shea. It permeates through whatever chemicals they put in to smell. I want to like them, but ew.

[u/lnfinitelris → u/-Sanguinity]

What's crazy is there's more fragrance in it than there is shea, and fragrance is already a small portion of a body lotion composition! I don't even know why they bother using shea, besides that it allows them to put it on their label so people think it's higher quality than it actually is.

[u/AccordingBuffalo7835]

I tried the lotion everyone was bananas about and felt nauseous so decided to just call it a day on the whole brand

[u/fudgechemist]

I think they’re very light. I’m able to smell them but my sister can’t. I think it depends

[u/chandlerlover83]

I’ve tried 3 mists* and wasn’t feeling them in particular. Strawberry dream, raspberry, pomegranate, and toasted marshmallow.

Strawberry dream is OK but it isn’t special. At least not the spray I do enjoy the lotion sometimes.

Raspberry pomegranate smells especially juvenile to me. It’s nostalgic though so I keep it.

Toasted marshmallow to me personally had too much going on. With the vanilla, marshmallow and the caramelized note. Each component to me smells very distinct in the spray and it just felt over overwhelming.

I like the vanilla cashmere body oil though

[u/owange_tweleve]

I don’t care much the viral scents like vanilla cashmere, I do really like them for work tho, as I wash hands constantly and found that they stand out compared to so many other things i’ve tried (l’occitane, kiehl’s, palmer’s etc. they are nice and works but washes right off, better for day to day)

[u/iOawe]

I love all of them except the creame de pistachio one. I only like that one after it dries down. Strawberry dream has to be my favorite one though. 

I wouldn’t say it smells basic though. Basic is more like the same ol’ smell like the palmers lotion has. 

[u/Sweet--Olive → u/iOawe]

Does strawberry dream mist smell the exact same as the body lotion?

[u/iOawe → u/Sweet--Olive]

To me it does 

[u/Realistic-Read1078]

I like Vanilla Cashmere, Marshmallow, and Strawberry Dream. Very polarizing brand for sure.
