I liked the different smells, but the scent does not last long. I spent too much and disappointed after getting them. Will not purchase again.
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for giving StinkBalm a try and for sharing your honest feedback. We’re really glad you enjoyed the different scent options, but we’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations.
StinkBalm is designed a little differently than traditional fragrances or perfumes. It’s an odor-blocking balm meant to create a protective barrier under the nose rather than provide a strong or long-lasting scent. It’s common to experience “nose blindness,” where your sense of smell adjusts quickly and you stop noticing the scent even though the balm is still working. Many customers reapply as needed throughout the day (just like you have to with a lip balm), especially in environments with persistent odors.
We truly appreciate you giving us a chance, and feedback like yours helps set clearer expectations for future customers. If you ever decide to give it another try, we’d be happy to help you find a scent or usage approach that works best for you.
Thank you again for your support,
Jennifer, RN

I love the scents and I definitely need them for my work as a home care nurse! RN Case Manager
Hi Rachel,
Thank you so much, and thank you for the important work you do as a home care nurse and RN Case Manager.
StinkBalm was created for moments exactly like the ones you face every day, so hearing that it is helping in real-world care settings truly means a lot to us. We are so glad you’re enjoying the scents and that it can be part of your workday toolkit.
Wishing you many smooth shifts ahead, and thank you again for your support.

I was an ER nurse for 30 years! Some of the smells in the ER were over the top! At the time, all we had was Vicks to put up our noses and hope for the best! I’m retired now, But, some of my children are nurses and school teachers. I purchased several different ones so they could have their pick of scents! I just had them sent to them! I would have given anything to have had these available when I was nursing! Great job inventors! You saw a need and developed the prefect product !!! And yes I do carry one myself! Nurses are always ready!! Great job, gals!!
Hi Anita,
Thank you so much for this wonderful message and for your incredible 30 years of service as an ER nurse. That truly means the world to us.
You are absolutely right, so many of us relied on Vicks and hoped for the best, which is exactly what inspired StinkBalm in the first place. It makes us so happy to hear that you are sharing them with the nurses and teachers in your family. Supporting people who show up every day to care for others is at the heart of why we created this product.
And we love that you still carry one yourself. Once a nurse, always a nurse.
Thank you again for your kind words and support. Messages like yours remind us why we do what we do.
With gratitude,
Jennifer, RN
