Mine definitely has an odor but isn't that overpowering, and I really don't like any strong odors,,,, including ones most people find pleasant.
I'm thinking something is up with the can you have, but I'm sure it will work fine. If you are only using it for patch/wad lube and other gun purposes I would add some sent to it,,, if using it on leather I would get another can.
Adding scent.....
Do you have a Hobby Lobby near you?
You can get essential oil scent oils in their candle making section.
I use these two quite a bit,
They have others such as peppermint, orange, lavender, and bergamot.
Please keep in mind, a very little goes a long way. We are talking drops, like from an eye dropper, and I don't always trust the top that comes on these bottles. Hobby Lobby also carries these,
They are very helpful.
Gently melt your mink oil, double boiler or tiny electric crock-pot, at worst an electric hot plate on low. Once it is melted remove from the heat, add a few drops of oil, and stir. (I use one of those wooden coffee stirrers when I add scent oil to coconut oil or Shea butter, the cedar seems to help keep mosquitoes from biting)
The more you stir it while it resolidifies the better,,, but it will take quite a while to become solid again.
If it wasn't enough, remelt and add more, but remember if you add too much you could thin the consistency of the product.
