Smell-free self tan for pal skin?

I've always had problems with self-tan. I'm pale and blonde and don't want to be too dark and streaky.
Also so many products I've tried in the past have given me headaches with the smell, or been too 'heavy' and brought me out in a rash.

Any recommendations. For my legs and arms especially (I can cope without the face)

I’m very pale and I always end up back with skinny tan coconut water. Four sprays direct onto a mit per half leg. The smell is mild and the colour is nice and natural.
I know you said no face but I have finally been brave enough to try this and use tan lux drops mixed with my moisturiser so I can regulate the amount. I tentatively worked my way up to four drops giving me a healthy glow.

I use St Tropez gradual tan, which I like as you can see where you’re putting it, or the Garnier gradual tan: you need to get the dark one if you’re as pale as I am or it makes no difference.

They both smell a bit but not drastic

I like Coco & Eve - it does smell, but it's a nice fragrance and not too faketan-like.
