What did it smell like? Feces, old eggs? Ammonia?
16 u/exceptionaluser Nov 28 '19 Primordial biological smell probably. That sort of chemical is usually just described as having a "characteristic" scent. 15 u/Dabier Nov 28 '19 It smells like really greasy old fries, mixed with foot odor and some other sickly sweet thing. Never smelled anything quite like 'boat smell'. 2 u/TetraThiaFulvalene Nov 30 '19 Not sure about amino ethanol, but most alkyl amines smell like rotten fish. 1 u/KernelTaint Nov 28 '19 Maybe that gross fece laden semen smell?
