Smells

How would you.....

One of my mentors used this on his guns, his son's guns still smell like it. Many good memories.
Regards,

How would you describe it?

...I have a can of G96 and can only describe the smell as "sweet."
I know that isn't a very good description, but that is the first impression I get when using it. Probably the polar opposite of Ballistol.

I have a back bedroom that I use to store guns, gun cleaning stuff and leather.
Smells great in there.

You scored one with me...

White oak being worked.
When I was a little kid, a wonderful, big Irish cop, Mac, lived up the street. He was building a boat in his basement. If his bulkhead was open, he was usually working on the boat, I was always welcome to wander in.
Sometimes he'd take a scrap of word and cut out a little toy on the bandsaw for me. Other times he would get himself a cup of coffee and one of those wonderful 6.5 ounce bottles of Coke. We'd sit on the step and talk about stuff. It was pretty magical. This great big policeman paid attention to this little boy.
The smell of white oak brings me right back there.

Not exactly smells, but there was a Coca-Cola bottling plant in my Grandparents town (Denmark, SC) in the 50/60s just down the street from their house. They always had crates of the 6 1/2 oz bottles that would tickle your nose from arm's length from the carbonation. And they were STRONG! Nothing is close to it today. People say that Coke won't dissolve a tooth and today I'm sure it wouldn't, but whoever said that never had one of those little bottles of Coke.

50 years in the paint business, I love the smell of lacquer.

Oh! I forgot two of my most favorite smells! The vintage tiny smoke pellets you drop down the smoke stack of Lionel Electric Locomotives and the Ozone smell the transformers produce. I can't believe I forgot those! Ahhhhh!
