A bottle of Hoppes #9 and a couple spent paper shells will bring all that into view, at least in my mind.

If you really want a strange reaction tell them.
The aroma of cleaning a Sage Grouse on a hot fall day on the high sagebrush steppes of the American west. |

well Paul, don't think that would be a best seller,but I would look forward to that experience someday, perhaps with my GH 16 o frame. I know many of these aromas would induce a deep, peaceful sleep for most of us.

Don't forget the smell of the first fire of the fall you start on a cool October morning. For me as a kid it was not in a fireplace but a in wood stove. Still is.

You'll think me strange, but one of the aromas that I have always loved - in moderation of course - is the faint smell of skunk on the air. Not the vile stench of a freshly flattened junk in the road, or the gag-inducing grossly pungent stink surrounding me as I attempt to wash it off my dog... but the faint hint on a frosty morning or evening in the fall. I can't really say why I enjoy it so much, but an experience I had with a skunk when I was a child might have started it. It was a very strange encounter for certain.
