When I first started doing WO, it was really weird to smell my hair after a shower and smell - nothing. I'm used to it now, though, and prefer it that way. And I've started to notice how overwhelming the smell of shampoo really can be; one of my roomies uses a shampoo with a floral smell, and whenever she gets out of the bathroom after having showered, the place is suddenly filled with that scent. And although it's actually a pleasant scent, which I would probably have loved smelling on my hair before I went WO, I just know I wouldn't like having products with such a strong smell in my hair anymore.

Anything tropical or spicy like coconut, cinnamon, those types. Fruity is good if it has a tropical kind of coconut or pineapple scent with a touch of spice.

What I don't like is anything that smells like musk. It gives me a headache.

Cinnamon! It's a natural enticer and I love the smell. May make me hungry all the time though. I don't want cinnamon in perfume or lotions since I already have those I use, but for my hair it'd be great.

I scent my coconut oil with essential oils. I've tried patchouli, rosewood, and most recently, sandalwood. The sandalwood is so nice, I think my favorite so far. It's just a slight lingering scent that I will catch hints of throughout the day. I love it. I tend to like musky, spicy, more "male" scents.

Anything Floral but I would try others..

Blueberries. The smell of crushed blueberries is what I would pick

I would love for my hair to smell like roses, water lilies or jasmine or some combo of.

I voted fruity--I love apple, strawberry, and sometimes citrus. Florals would be a close second. I love lavendar but I'm not sure if I want my hair to smell like it. I like lavendar candles and sachets.

Oriental as I'm not picky with scents and that's what it ends up smelling like due to herbs.

I used to add essential oils to jojoba oil so my hair has been scented with a wide variety of smells over the years.
Neroli is my favourite.
