The comforter did have  a oily smell. I think it was the packaging. I’m not sure but it was a turn off to smell that as soon as you open the package. The company would do it’s self a favor  to not put it in that plastic bag. You should make sure it’s wrapped in pretty ribbons and have a fresh smell as soon as you open it. The color was good the size was good. Just to bad I had to wash it as. Soon as I took it out of the box.
