Tell us your best smelling products! For fun!
I notice we often all talk about many properties of a shampoo or conditioner or gel or whateva'. Usually we note the smell. I was curious to know what you all think the best smelling products are in any categories and what scent they have.
Feel free to chime in here!
Here's mine:
Best smelling
Shampoo: Sweet Nature by Eddie's Inspiration Shampoo--smells like sweet tarts but sweeter--I could get  on smelling this! 
Soap or Shampoo Bar or similar: Kathymack's Vanilla Ylang Ylang and Whispering Winds Vanilla Bean Noel soap/shampoo in a jar
Conditioner: Curls Curly Q Coconut Dream Condish best coconut smell ever! Runners up are Komaza Aloe Conditioner--smells kind of flowery sweet but a nice smell and Oyin Honey Hemp which is like an orange creamsicle-YUM!
Spray Moisturizer or Leave In: Tie between Sweet Nature by Eddie Growth Spray and Shescentit Moisture Mist
Stylers (curl creme's, gels, pomades,etc): Oyin Shine and Define - citrusy but sweet and Afroveda Shea Amla--musky and sexy and Curl Junkie Smoothing Gellee--not exactly sure but subtle sweetness
Other not-sure-of-the-category: Deva Set It Free-candy'ish and lovely!
Tell us yours!

For me, a lot of the best smelling products are ones I would never use. I love the way Pantene and Dove products smell, but I won't use them.
The best smelling products I use are pure virgin coconut oil, and this President's Choice brand apple spearmint conditioner.

I love KBB products scented with either Chamomile Sage or Egyptian Musk. I also love the scent of Max Green Alchemy styling gel.
I'm not a fan of fruity or sweet scents for my products. I prefer herbal scents or florals. Although I do love the scent of Deva Set It Free...smells like candy but is not overpowering.

Morrocco Method Earth shampoo; I do not know how to describe it other than earthy slightly spicy with hints of vanilla and tamarind... it is so good I wish they would make an EO blend.

Here is mine!
Shampoo: Only use every once in awhile, and it's always unscented JC GLS. LOL....though Deva Low Poo smells pretty good. Others I used to use smell divine though.....but they're all sulfatey and I don't use them anymore.
Soap or Shampoo Bar or similar: While I'm not using any on my hair atm, the chocolate almond from CV smells YUMMY and so do several of KMacks
Conditioner: Aura Cherry almond bark, JMO Citrus, JMO rosemary/mint, any of the CJ....
Spray Moisturizer or Leave In: KCKT, CJALI, CCCC
Stylers (curl creme's, gels, pomades,etc): KCCC!!!!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! and anything CJ.......
Other not-sure-of-the-category: can you see that I tend to gravitate towards the KC line and the CJ line?????

I'm not going to label them "shampoo, conditioner, ect"...lol! I'm just going to list some of my best-smelling products:
-Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut conditioner
-GVP Conditioning Balm
-Jessicurl CC in Island Fantasy (leaves my hair smelling like coconuts!)
-GF Curl Shaping Spray Gel (smells like fruit!)
I don't even low-poo, but I like the smell of Herbal Essences Drama Clean shampoo, which I used to use in rotation with other shampoos before going CG. It smells like slightly tart berries  Trader Joe's Refresh Shampoo also smells pretty good...(before going fully CG, I used sulfate-free shampoo because I had read Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey...although it didn't help much because my products had silicones and non-fatty alcohols, and I was using Suave as my main conditioner, which wasn't nearly enough moisture).

The original Herbal Essence shampoo from the 70's was the best smell ever. I can still smell it. Horrible for hair but I adored it.
Anything in Jessicurl Island Fantasy.
Suave coconut conditioner.
Ojon RT. People either love it or hate it. I am addicted to it. To me it smells like chocolate, fresh ground coffee, wood smoke, fall leaves, fresh tobacco, and the woods all rolled into one. Love it.

Warning: Guano (can I do that to my own thread?  )
Too funny! About 2 months ago I made a lot of FSG for my coworkers so they said they liked HE. So I ordered the "original" Herbal Essences scent (like I remember!) and they got their FSG and were like--what's that scent?  I have a whole FO of it!
End Guano
These are some great responses! Amazing how many of us like similar smells!

Believe it or not, it's this random gel that my mom picked up for me who knows where called Spike It Extreme Hold Gel. It smells insanely good--not exactly perfumey, not exactly sweet--just a unique and obsessive smell. It took me about a year to figure out that it was this gel that smelled so great too, because I had it, but I only used it every once in a while. Now that I know what smells so heavenly, I'll be using it more often for sure

Although a lot of people hate the scent, I love AOHRs scent because it does smell like honeysuckle to me.
I also like how KCCC smells like cake.
Oh, and the CJCR in the gardenia scent is lovely.
