I really like the Oscar Blandi spray, in fact I just ran out and I need to order more.
^ ITA! I'm not a huge fan of TM Angel perfume, but I love the way the hair spray smells.
L'Oreal used to make the best product ever. It was basically like febreeze for hair. It was a spray in a blue glass bottle that just neutralized odor. It didn't dry hair out or make it greasy and it had a VERY light inoffensive scent. It was amazing for removing smoke and food smells from hair! I was SOOOOO sad when they discontinued it
I can not say enough about how awesome Jonathan Redo is. http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P104713&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5797 It totally WORKS! It's not to help with the oilys but it does exactly what it says it will do:
Redo Freshen-Up Mist For Hair & Skin®
Revitalizing and conditioning cucumber/rose essential water refreshes slightly dirty, oily hair and vegetable enzyme neutralizes odors and leaves hair smelling clean. Natural extracts like white tea, almond, aloe, and pomegranate condition and add shine. Also can be used to refresh, hydrate, and condition skin. Product is 100 percent vegan and alcohol-free.
I used to be a smoker and I would give my hair and body a quick spray with this and it completely eliminated the smoke smell. It has a slight rose smell but don't let that scare you- the fragrance does not stick to you. Sephore has a small bottle if you just want to give it a try.
From my thread about Oscar Blandi, def don't use Oscar Blandi LOL. A lot of people did not have good things to say about it (other than the smell)! But none of them recommended the Aveeda. Maybe they aren't in the same "category", but whatever, I'm def glad you started this thread!
