Hoppes Elite. It is odorless.

I'm not saying it's my favorite but CLP smells like chicken flavored ramen noodles. Well to me anyway. I like hoppes 9.
One night I was cleaning my gun's with #9 and I had some on my fingers, not to let it go to waste I rubbed it on the handle of my Buck knife, a few days later a woman at work asked if she could borrow my knife, when she brought it back she asked me if I had been cleaning my gun's, I said yes, she said her father and her brother's used #9 and she loved the smell, she said it really turned her on, come to think of it, there wasn't much that didn't turn her on.

The scent of Rangoon oil is a comfort smell for me. It is something I associate with classic old guns and the gun case they were stored in long ago. I still use it to protect my side by sides and rifles.
Hoppes #9 is a close second with Bore Butter's minty scent coming in a distant 3rd.

Hoppes here, the wife actually will NOT complain when it's time to clean the firearms. In my advanced age odors are starting to get to me...but not Hoppes, smells like a good perfume

3 In one oil. When I was seven years old, 70 years ago, I had my first .22 rifle. I shot it every day and cleaned it every night and used 3 in one oil. I don't know if that is considered a gun cleaning procuct, but in 1945, that was all I had. It did the job and I still have the gun and still shoot it. I love the smell of 3 in one oil and it always reminds me of when I was 7 years old in 1945 and my first .22 rifle. Joe
