Best-Smelling Hair Product No. 14: Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo, $14.00
Aveda products all have a distinctively luxe scent, but this shampoo is decidedly the best of the bunch. It's natural and energizing, like aromatherapy, and charms us every time we sniff it.

Best-Smelling Hair Product No. 13: Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil, $69

That's how this decadent, multi-purpose hair oil smells — floral with touches of citrus and musk, but not at all overwhelming. If it's possible to have a crush on a fragrance, that's what's happening here.

Best-Smelling Hair Product No. 11: Kevin Murphy Shimmer.Shine, $34.99
Our entire staff is obsessed with the smell of Kevin Murphy hair products. There's nothing like them — herbal, sophisticated and masculine (but not too masculine). The Shimmer.Shine is a particular treasure. Its subtly sweet scent feels more like a high-end fragrance than a hair product. Plus, it hangs around all day, so people will continue to tell you that your hair smells good until you go home for the night.
