No, Soto's Premium All-In-One House Paint is a low VOC product with little or no smell. There may be a faint odor if breathing directly into the container, but when using it as instructed, you shouldn't smell much, if anything at all, due to the extremely small amount you will be using on your surface. Once the product is completely dry to the touch (between 5-30 minutes) there should be absolutely no odor as any volatiles should have pretty much dissipated during the act of drying. Please get in touch with us directly if you have any further questions.
