(Not sure where to put this post.) I make shampoo and conditioner bars and get requests for scents I don't have. I'd like to get an idea from camino walkers of which of the scents I make would be most popular. Vote for your favorite and add a post if there's a close second or a first choice that isn't listed. Thanks!

The poll is above.
 
Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but here it goes. I’ve just walked into Oviedo after the San Salvador and was a bit “shocked” at all the artificial scents that are in the air (perfume, hairspray etc). It seemed off after smelling nature (and lots of sweat 😅) for a week. So maybe an unscented version might be nice.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

I do make unscented, too, sorry I forgot to add that. The scents are just a small amount of essential oil you smell while youre washing your hair, doesn't linger. i thought of eucalyptus when I was in Galicia.
I agree, I HATE Perfumes! I got stuck sitting next to somebody on the plane - 9 hrs - who was drenched in it. Ugh!!

I've been using Jill's shampoo and and conditioner bars for several Caminos. I especially like the conditioner bar - it's the best I've used.

Citrus for sure!
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Citrus for sure!
There is something about citrus that makes me feel cleaner after a dusty day on the trail followed by a shower to get in & out quickly so more can get a shower & head out to eat & enjoy other pilgrims’ conversation about their experience. I feel citrusy clean & revived! I do like Rosemary & Mint a lot! That would be my second choice. Thanks for putting your survey on the forum.

Unscented, I am a severe asthmatic, scented items set off my asthma
 
I would say lavender because it aids in sleep and generally I take a shower a few hours before bed in the Camino. Eucalyptus is nice but it can be quite strong and might bother other people. Plus I think eucalyptus is intended to invigorating, so using it a few hours before bed would be counterintuitive.

I do not use shampoo bars on the Camino, but all of the fragrances you list sound lovely to me!
I would consider purchasing for using in a bath. Another thing I like to use homemade, organic type soaps is in a corner of my lingerie drawer.
 
Interesting results - apart from the fresh zingy clean scent of it, isn't citrus repellent to mosquitos too?

I would love to know what the 'other' votes were for .. I see unscented in the posts ... but the rest? who knows.

for me - I don't use shampoo but if I did it would be unscented for certain but if had to choose would also choose citrus.
