Any of them (except water) could be producing the smell. Or maybe just a combination of ingredients. You’ll need to do a knock-out experiment to figure out which one is the main culprit.

Some lanolin smells.
Why borax? -

Why borax?yeah.. but it doesn’t smell like vomit? do you think i need more preservatives? borax w/ beeswax can help emulsify water and oils

What do I think? I think it’s a combination problem. You have all those smelly ingredients. Virgin coconut oil for example. What happens when a painter mixes all the colours together? A colour that looks like … excrement.
, what do you think is the problem in my formula
