It doesn't really smell like anything! It has a very very light clean smell. So we will have to see if it helps dh and I with our little bit of kitty allergies. It is approved by the aspca as being safe to use around cats and dogs so that is a plue. and it has the good housekeeping promise on it. And it's reconmend by the asthma and allergy foundation of america. So it must do something :LOL: I'l let ya know how i like it!
