The Best Smelling Hair Products of 2022, According to Our Editors
January 28, 2022
Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Glass Hair Water
Straying far from typical floral and sweet hair product scents, this treatment smells like a crisp Granny Smith apple — which is unexpected, yet refreshing IMO. The unique vegan formula utilizes lamellar technology to smooth hair in just 10 seconds (seriously!) making it a great option for those who don’t like waiting around for a hair mask to work it’s magic. Not only does my hair instantly feel softer and look shinier when I use it, but I also receive tons of compliments on how good my hair smells — so I’d say this is a real winner. — Mary, Associate Editor
L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Scalp Care + Detox Shampoo
In addition to working to remove buildup from the scalp, this detoxifying shampoo smells incredible. It’s fresh and aromatic because of the menthol in the formula 一 and I love that the scent lingers in my hair for a full day after washing and styling it. — Alyssa, Assistant Editor
Gisou Honey Infused Hair Mask
It’s safe to say that one of the best attributes of this hydrating hair mask is the cozy aroma. Reminiscent of sweet honey, it’s a perfect addition to any self-care routine. — Alyssa, Assistant Editor
Matrix Biolage All-in-One Intense Dry Shampoo
I don’t think anyone loves it when their hair looks and feels greasy, but after you’ve smelled this dry shampoo, you might find yourself skipping a wash day or two. The formula, which includes coconut oil, has a sweet, nutty scent that isn’t overpowering in the slightest. In fact, it smells fresh and clean, which is exactly how my hair feels after using it. — Caitlyn, Assistant Editor
L'Oréal Paris EverPure Moisture Sulfate Free Shampoo and Conditioner
I tend to save the sweet, fruity scents for my hair styling products and wash with something energizing and refreshing — like this duo — instead. The shampoo makes my bleached hair feel super clean without drying it out, and the conditioner adds an extra dose of moisture. Plus, the rosemary scent wakes me up but isn’t too overpowering. — Ariel, Associate Editor
Carol’s Daughter Wash Day Delight
When I’m on the hunt for hair products, I tend to gravitate towards fresh scents — and this is one of my favorites! If you’re a fan of how aloe vera smells, this shampoo is for you. While I love that it gives my hair a really great cleanse, I really enjoy that it leaves my hair smelling clean and fresh, too. — Kat, Social Media Editor
Kerastase Elixir Ultime L'Huile Originale Hair Oil
I love a good hair oil to add a shine to a sleek style, but this iconic serum is known for its smell just as much as its nourishing powers. The blend of floral and woody aromas include: violet leaves, freesia, mandarin, musk extract and santal wood. It’s seriously addictive! — Jaz, Senior Editor
L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Air Volume Dry Shampoo
This dry shampoo is a must-try if you love sweet scents — It smells just like candy and lingers for hours. The best part? You can disguise two-, three- or even four-day old hair with the fresh formula and it will look, feel and most importantly, smell like you just washed it. — Alanna, Assistant Managing Editor
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Glossy Nourishing Anti-Frizz Oil
If you’re looking to tame frizz and nourish your hair with some extra sweetness, this oil is for you. It has the brand’s signature Cheirosa ‘62 fragrance with notes of vanilla, salted caramel and pistachio. After running it through your hair, you’ll catch yourself taking a whiff of the intoxicating scent all day. — Alanna, Assistant Managing Editor
