How To Spot Fake Argan Oil By Its Smell

Smell is a good way to spot fake Argan Oil. Natural oils that are way past their best-before date will start to become rancid and have a very sour smell. By contrast a totally odourless oil may also be a sign that it is fake. However, you need to be aware that some single filtered Argan Oil can have quite a pungent smell. Likewise there are subtle differences between the smell of our double filtered Argan Oil and a totally odourless oil!
