I came in contact with Shea butter in late 1950's and early 1960's at Kuta, in the present Niger State of Nigeria. The Igbos call it " Okwuma', Ori and or Udoli. In Hausa language, it is known as " Maikede. Some people don't like the smell of Shea butter, why?

The natural scent of Shea butter is nutty, and it ranges from mild to wide earthly scent. This scent is very particular and can be a bit pungent. The reason for the natural nutty smell is that Shea butter comes from the nut tree.
