We've been purchasing this detangler spray for our three-year-old daughter's hair for the past two years or so, now, and it's always worked wonders to untangle her curly mixed hair (which is also coupled with Babo's shampoo and conditioner, as well as, most recently, a deep conditioning treatment via Shea Moisture's Hydrating Hair Masque). However, our most recent purchase last month had the incredibly strong, synthetic smelling scent that others have also spoken about, making it quite off putting to continue using. Seeing that no one here was getting any straight answers about whether or not Babo had changed the ingredients without our knowing (obviously), I had to ask them directly via their website. And after explaining everything, plus giving the requested expiration date (which mine is/was 03/2020, so check yours if that's the batch which might smell off/strongly), the person informed me that they did temporarily try to switch up the scent, using a 'Rosey Berry' scent instead of the original we're 'all' used to. However, apparently the customer feedback wasn't well received, so they no longer supply this newer scent. (After which, I've been sent a complimentary bottle to compensate which, once it arrives, I'll update this review to verify it is the original scent.) So if your bottle's scent is too strong and isn't the usual, soft flowery scent it's always been, then (presumably) don't worry anymore, since Babo's apparently aware of our distaste for it and have returned to the original smell. They did also say that since Amazon (which I specified was where I've always purchased my bottles) does have third party sellers, they obviously can't control that. But since I also let them know that I buy/have bought these bottles (including this recent one) from Amazon, itself, I suppose we'll have to cross our fingers and see if they, too, stop having the 'Rosey Berry' scent in stock. Hope this helps anyone else who might be unsure of their bottle's suddenly overpowering scent! UPDATE (11/21/18): Just received the complimentary replacement bottle, and although at first (after opening the bottle, itself) we were afraid it was still the same overpowering scent, after using it in our daughter's hair, it really is/was the original, soft berry smell. :) (The expiration date for this bottle is 06/2020, so if you order again, check the date to see if it's the same batch.)
