This is a fabulous scarf. The colors are vibrant and rich, and the texture is wonderful. The smell is very earthy, like the smell of wool just off a sheep. The fibers however are a mixture and there are cotton threads, too. The smell is not overpowering, and signals a real handmade jewel. If you are looking for a synthetic scarf that is mass produced, this is not the scarf for you. If you are looking for a genuine handmade scarf Himilayan style, this is the one. I have had many positive comments every time I wear this scarf!

I ordered this scarf and although the colors are pretty, the smell is unbearable...and this is around your neck. I washed it but it still smelled as well as it now became sort of ratty looking and I hadn't even wore it yet. I ended up throwing it away - waste of money!!
