I bought this stuff at Walgreen's a long time ago and hated it. I stuck it in the back of my closet until yesterday, when I realized I was out of hairspray and I used it again in desperation. I was amply reminded of why I hated it so much the first time. It is absolutely the most offensive smelling hairspray I've ever used. It literally got into my throat and gagged me. I ran from my bathroom for some fresh air! And the smell hangs on ALL DAY. Not bad "hairspray" -- but certainly not great, either. Definitely not worth buying again. I threw away almost a full can!
