Tracy,

My wife has the same difficulty as you with 'perfumy' smells -- in many cases, she's allergic to them. She suggests you try either Nature's Sunshine (usually sold through individual distributors, or you can contact us -- my wife's a distributor) or Alba Botanicals (sold at most natural food stores, and they'll sometimes have free samples). Some of the Alba brands have herbal scents, but many don't.

Don't know about the "attract bees" issue, but I've used the NS product on a couple of occasions and didn't have an issue (and I'm deathly allergic to bee and wasp stings, not to mention scared (bleep)less of the little buggers...)

HTH

>I don't like 'perfumy' smells at all and I find it really difficult to find a shampoo and conditioner that work well, rinse clean, and don't attrack bees outside (I'm allergic to the sting). Nowadays you almost have to pay extra and buy the expensive stuff to find one without the additives!

>>>I had good eyesight until recently - maybe last 5 years - but eventually it turned into a kind of push ups for the eye, so I started getting reading glasses. Started with 1.25, then 1.5 and am happy with a 2.0 now.

>>>My usual frustration is exactly the shampoo. The print isn't getting smaller, it's the word "shampoo" (vs "conditioner") that is getting smaller and smaller and being tucked into unexpected corners of the label. You get a lot of large print on the bottle, but it's all the words that help sell the bottle, not exactly the words that could help you know what's inside.

>>>And as Murphy will have it, when there are 6 bottles around the tub, only one of them will be the shampoo, and that one will be empty.

>>I'm still looking for shampoo that doesn't double as salad dressing. I want something where you rub it onto your hair, rinse it off, and your hair is clean. Why do I have to smell like a fruit compote just to have clean hair?
