I've washed with soapnut twice and I'm really pleased with the results, except I can't stand the smell. The washing liquid smells like vomit and I have a hard time not getting sick myself when washing with it...

I made the liquid by boiling the nuts. I didn't add anything extra to it, like EO's.

Here's the question: does aritha powder (or should I say paste, after mixing it with water) smell as bad as boiled liquid?
