Does a self-tan without the smell exist?

Has anyone found a self-tan or gradual self-tanning lotion that doesn't have a really strong biscuity smell?

I'm currently using Bondi Sands gradual tan and love the colour but the smell really lingers even after a shower and I'm having to plan my tanning days carefully around it as don't want to smell in some situations!

Garner summer body is the least biscuity I have found

I came in to say they all smell but that Garnier one less so!

The St Tropez gradual tan is also not too bad

Which bondi sands are you using? I use liquid gold mousse in black bottle and found that doesn't have the smell (on me at least) and fantastic colour on me

I have just used Bare by Vogue Williams which has although does smell (pleasantly), the smell doesn’t linger once you’ve washed it off. I was surprised!

I am currently using skinny tan coconut water and find it great - smells of coconut and blends and develops evenly. I do prep and use a tanning mitt. I think it comes in other flavours if coconut not your thing

Bondi sands gradual isn’t too bad, big blue bottle with Shea butter also don’t think isle of paradise has much of a smell

I've been using an old bottle of San Tropez shower gradual one and I've just noticed, I don't smell at all!

The Cucumber face and body tan mist by MineTan is pretty much biscuit smell free. My husband cannot stand fake tan smells and gets stingy eyes near me when I use others, but with this one he doesn’t even notice I have it on…

Dove Dermaspa hasn't smelt so far, I used a St Tropez one that smelt awful.
