I’m not a big scent kind of guy. Clean, not to chemically-obvious, works for me. (I’ve written about women’s perfumery before!)
With regard to things chemical, I DO like Hoppe’s #9 Powder Solvent. If women used THAT instead of a 55 gallon drum of Froo-Froo#9, I know I’d like them better! I’m certain long exposure to the fumes is not healthy, though. 😦
Long exposure to women is still under discussion…
Another firearms-related chemical scent I like is that of WD-40. I’m certain that’s because it sparks memories of my early gun days, and trying to loosen and clean stuff. And lubricate and coat…
Fun fact – it’s made from fish oil!
Of course, experience has taught me it doesn’t last on bearing surfaces, like slide to frame. And it’s death to live primers. I changed to lithium grease long ago.
Still…

I’ve heard the “fish oil” myth, but the makers of WD-40 say it does not contain fish oil.

Something is then fishy here, regardless. 😛
Posted by guffaw1952 | July 10, 2016, 8:09 amAs much as I like WD40 it really has no use around guns.
Posted by Wilson | July 16, 2016, 11:07 amI generally agree, except for helping to help loosen things.
Posted by guffaw1952 | July 16, 2016, 11:30 amDon’t use it on internal parts. But it is an excellent barrel cleaner! I know a top trap shooter that swears it makes plastic wad fouling come loose.
Plus, you can’t beat it for a fast wipe down on the exterior to remove salts and prevent rust, at least for a while.

Yeah, I used to use it on everything, but I learned not to.
