Re: Lacquer smell
hehe yes i know castor oil of course...but the thing is more that
i guess that special smell is something else...and well yes maybe "unhealthy" as well...
smells organic and familiar but its driving me nuts to not finding out
of what it reminds me all the time...

Re: Lacquer smell
Its the same smell that pours out of old library card catalogs, and hammond organs.
It's the vintage smell and it comes from a forgotten era, fresh cut lacquers are the only place to revive the smell from, it takes a good 40 years of sitting to achieve otherwise

Re: Lacquer smell
It's called the lingering odor of mildew.

Maybe Apollo no.5, eau de toilette pour hommes

Well, if you cut enough, your clothes and house should start to take on the smell, but i do like the idea of apollo no.5 perfume.

Re: Lacquer smell
Smells like money to me.
Seriously, are lacquers not made with nitro cellulose. Makes sense that organs and library cabinets smell the same. It is also used as a wood finish. Guitars too.

Re: Lacquer smell
I Agree, Instead of a pine tree freshener for your car, we need a lacquer scented record to hang from our rearview mirrors!
But as powerstrip said, if you cut enough you become your own scented ornament anyhow...:>)

Re: Lacquer smell
It is shockingly combustible. And, don't breath in after lighting as the fumes are toxic....

Re: Lacquer smell
Was old movie film made from Nitro also?
The movie Inglorious Bastards has a scene where they light the movie theater on fire and I believe they are referencing how flammable that stuff was.
