I have some other reviews that have mentioned this and it didn't bother them so like any other scent it is all personal preferen
I bought this product because I read it could be used as a natural way to remove skin tags.  I have been using it  for a few weeks now and it has help dry out/remove a few of the smaller ones.  It have not had any problem with it drying out or irritating any of the surrounding skin.  The only reason I gave it a lower rating is because of the smell.  It is really strong and that is with it diluted as well.  I have some other reviews that have mentioned this and it didn't bother them so like any other scent it is all personal preference.
