All fake tans contain dihydroxyacetone, which is a chemical that reacts with the air and gives the brown colour on your skin. Unfortunately, it does have a smell of 'biscuits' or 'vinegar.' The manufacturers of the creams add perfume to attempt to counteract the smell but unless there's a fake tan that I've missed, none are 100% successful. Even if the cream smells lovely in the bottle, once it is in contact with your skin and the air, the 'fake tan' smell tends be predominant.
St Tropez is a good fake tan but it still has that smell, although it is one of the milder pongers!

I've got the St Tropez daily moisturiser. It's really nice. You're meant to use it in the morning, but you get a great even colour develop after about three days. My cousin has it too. People have commented on it to me and she was asked the other day where she'd been on holiday. Gives you a great golden hue. I've not noticed a smell either, although this may be because it's a daily moisturiser. Regardless, it's fab! I wouldn't use another one now.
