Smells like Cheese

I've been looking to add a few new lotions to my product line, and have been tweaking recipes for about a year.  I was pretty excited about my Goats Milk Lotion recipe.  Goats milk, as you may know if softening to the skin, and, in my opinion, when mixed up in a lotion with natural oils and waxes, has a soft, soothing scent.  For the past few batches, I scented the lotion with either Fragrant Almond or Orange Cream... both awesome scents.  But, last week I left my batch unscented, and was about to finally hand out samples to my customers.  Well, turns out, that's not going to happen.  Why, you ask?  Because both of my kids, separately and without the other's knowledge, told me that I smelled like cheese.  And being told that you smell like cheese is not as funny as it sounds.
I know what you're thinking here, but I put some of the Unscented Goats Milk lotion on both of the kids' hands, and they identified the lotion as the cheese-y smell.
Since I don't like the idea of having customers smelling like cheese, I'm heading back to the drawing board on this lotion.
