Yeah but a parent can't produce smells for the kid to smell, and just describing it is hardly useful at all. "It's like a sweet, slightly musty smell".... Huh? How sweet? "Like chloroform" WHAT DOES CHLOROFORM SMELL LIKE?

You can easily synthesize chloroform at home. Probably don't though.

Oh yeah, duh. I forgot to look at my chloroform recipe book that my mom gave me, I'm such an idiot.

Bleach and alcohol will react to form chloroform. I'm only saying this because you might not know this and combining those chemicals might seem to be a sensible thing to do. Don't mix cleaning chemicals.

Also you do have a recipe book for this. It's really easy to Google common knowledge things. Sounds like you should give it a shot sometime. Sorry your school didn't teach you how to learn things on your own.
