I had the impression that lavender scents often have a strong, air freshener-like scent, but this one wasn't too strong and combined with the scent of water lilies, it had a fresh, floral scent that was different from the previous LUX scents. After washing, my hair felt a bit rough, but once I applied conditioner, it wasn't so noticeable. The next day, my hair still had a soft shampoo scent.
