Hi Theresa,
Thanks for your feedback. All of the WEN products have a shelf life of two years after the date of opening, not the date of manufacture. As you know everyone has a different sense of smell and it's impossible to predict how any person will feel about a certain fragrance. However, we do have a 30-day return policy if you decide to try one of our products and end up not liking it.
I hope this might be helpful and please let us know if we can assist you further with any questions. Have a great day!
